Landmarks of towns in Sarawak

Some friend of mine thought that all towns in Sarawak were represented by a kind of fruit. Some of them are and some of them not. Below you can see some of the landmarks in Sarawak which resemble each unique town in Sarawak.

Kuching is most famous with it's cats. But actually "kuching" originated from the word mata kucing which is a kind of fruit we called "longan".

Sibu town is represented by swan. There is a once-upon-a-time story about local sibu people who are so poor but still keep their pet swan alive. Story about it will be kept for other time.

Sarikei is famous for it's sweet enormous juicy pinapples.

You have a chance to grab a look at the big seahorse if you got a chance to step into this oil city.


Peace is always represented by dove and so is Sri Aman. This town is previously known as Simanggang.

The biggest "King of Fruits" will be found when you drive pass Serian town. Most local are fans of durians. Some kampung folk even joked that who can't open a durian should be chase out of the kampung.

That is some introduction to the landmarks of towns in Sarawak. Come and enjoy the nature and the breezes if you need a place far from work and stress. Sarawak is the best place.
