Sarawak Cultural Village

The next day, woke up around 7am and get prepared... after that we ask the hotel people about the Sarawak Cultural Village and rented a car... a small Kancil cost RM70... we also bought the tickets to the cultural village... normal price is RM60 but we bought from the lady is only RM50 per person... while waiting for our car we went to have breakfast nearby... not far from the hotel is a stall selling noodles... we ordered Kolo Mee... its actually like Wantan Mee... but without the soya sauce... its very dry... not that nice... after that we went back to the hotel and our car is here... took the key and ask how to go to the village... and we're off...

At that is around 9.40am... and we reach the village about 10.30am... its very far outside of town... but the road is kinda easy to go... there is only one road... after reach there, they will give each person a passport... actually its a book... you suppose to bring the passport around the village... and as you enter each house... they will stamp for you... total of 9 stamps... it's also as a souvenir... so we start off with the Chinese House... and after 3 houses... its almost 11.30am dy... the cultural show is about to start... so we went to the theater to watch... the show last for 45 minutes... after that we continue to the other houses...

Mount Santubong... the village is located at the foot...

The entrance...

The village is like a living museum... it has a man-made lake at the center... and the houses are around the lake... 50 buck is too much... not much to do in there... just walk around only... it is smaller than I had expected... but its a good experience la... they say you went to Sarawak must go to the cultural village... if not you have not been to Sarawak... not much will be said here... just enjoy the pictures...
