KUCHING
POP 600,000
Borneo's most stylish and sophisticated city brings together a kaleidoscope of cultures,
crafts and cuisines. The bustling streets - some very modern, others with a colonial vibe -
amply reward visitors with a penchant for aimless ambling. Chinese temples decorated
with dragons abut shophouses from the time of the White Rajahs, a South Indian mosque is
a five-minute walk from stalls selling half-a-dozen Asian cuisines, and a landscaped river-
front park attracts families out for a stroll and a quick bite.
Kuching's other huge asset is its day trip proximity to a dozen first-rate nature sites.
