Catscity Kuching

main site : http://www.catscity.com.my Nestled on the banks of the Sarawak River, the capital, Kuching, retains the old-world charm of its romantic past. The river is the focal point of the town and features a graceful, European-style esplanade - The Kuching Waterfront - with views across to the Astana ( the palace ) and Fort Margherita. For another persective on the town, hire a boat and float down the river either by day or night - the sunset is fantastic.
