Tucked away on the foothills of legendary Mount Santubong, 35 kilometres away from Kuching is Sarawak's fascinating cultural showcase, the award winning "Sarawak Cultural Village".

Aptly named, a “living museum”, it depicts the heritage of the major racial groups in Sarawak and conveniently portrays their respective lifestyles amidst 14 acres of tropical greenery.

Here, it is possible to see Sarawak's ethnic diversity at a glance. The handicraft is both bewildering and tempting, including the Kain Songket (Malay cloth with gold inlay), Pua Kumbu (Iban housewives textiles), Melanau Terendak (sunhat), Bidayuh tambok (basket), Iban parang (swords), Orang Ulu wood carving and Chinese ceramic.

The 45-minute cultural performance of songs, dances and entertainment is something you will not want to miss out during your visit to Sarawak.
