hello. I happened to search Kuching on KZbin and came across your video. My family also recently immigrated from South Korea to Kuching. It's so good that I wonder if there's another city in Southeast Asia with clean, safe, and peaceful streets like this. In particular, perhaps because the city was formed around the airport, all the buildings are low and the view of the sky is great. As someone who now lives in Kuching, I would like to thank you for capturing the beauty of Kuching in video. Please keep making good videos in the future!

If you skip the Borneo Cultures Museum (BCM)... you're probably not that interested in Sarawak's history. Not every visitor is into the historical background of a city they visit. Lots of museums within that area. Across the road from the BCM is the Ethnology museum and behind it is a park where you would find some Chinese graves, a war memorial, an open amphitheatre and remnants of bomb shelters from the 2nd. World War. At the Waterfront, there's a small Chinese museum, next to the Plaza mall is the Textile museum, Ranee Museum at the Old Court House, Fort Margherita is near the State Assembly building across the river... Or the quirky Cat Museum... Other than that, attractions are within around two hours' drive radius - Jong Crocodile Farm, Semenggoh Orang Utan Sanctuary, Bako National Park and a few other national parks.

Have wanted to travel to sabah sarawak kuching for quite sometimes but didnt have the chance yet. Sarawak is beautiful clean and i can say is quiet, as mentioned by the elderly man, its good for retirement far away frm hustle and bustle of the town. The shophouses looks like those in jb and singapore. At least now i have some ideas abt east malaysia. Have a safe and pleasant trip ya. Take care

1. You asked the wrong person. That security guide always gave wrong answer to tourists! He is blur. 2. Your speaking slang is American, not British. That old man knows nothing about slang. 3. Why "Kuching"? WHAT’S IN THE NAME? We should all know that there is such a city called Kuching in Sarawak, especially if you’re a Malaysian. It’s been known as the “Cat City” due to the resemblance of the name “kucing” to the Malay word for cat. However, that still doesn’t explain how Kuching got its name. The question has baffled many for many years. Here, we would like to share with you some of the different versions of the origin of Kuching name. VERSION 1: MOST DIRECT VERSION OF ITS ORIGIN - KUCHING MEANS CAT IN MALAY This came from an oral tradition revealed that when James Brooke went up the Sarawak River with a local Malay guide in 1841. He stumbled upon an animal jumping along the bank of the river. He was curious and asked the guide about the animal. The guide replied in the Malay language, “Itu Kuching! (That’s a cat!).” Then, James Brooke somehow just decided to name the place, Kuching. VERSION 2: KUCHING MEANS PORT IN INDOCHINA The year was 1839, where James Brooke referred to the Kuching City as “Kuchin”. It bore resemblance to the old word “Cochin” which stands for port, being commonly used in India or Indochina, and thus, a relation between the two. Given the fact that Brooke was a sea-going man, he was just using an old Indian or Indo-China word for “Port”. VERSION 3: KUCHING NAMED AFTER AN OLD WELL This version of the origin series has its roots in the oriental culture. There was a Chinese story that said Kuching was actually named after some old wells found in the vicinity of Sungai Kuching as Kuching means “Old Well” in Chinese Mandarin. Long time ago, these old wells were the provider of fresh water to the local population. Most of these wells have since been filled up for development. VERSION 4: KUCHING NAMED AFTER DISAPPEARING STREAM NAME In Sarawak, naming a town after a river is a common practice. The name Kuching might have derived from Sungai (River) Kuching which was a small stream flowed from the direction of Kuching Reservoir, east of Wayang Street and emerged between the now Tua Pek Kong Temple and the old Chinese Chamber of Commerce along Thompson Road (now know as Jalan Tunku Abdul Rahman) to join Sungai Sarawak. However, the river had since disappeared from the map of Kuching due to construction of Temple street and the rapid town expansion which led to it being filled up sometime in 1928. VERSION 5: KUCHING NAME IS FROM A LOCAL FRUIT The name “Kuching” could have come from the local fruit known as “Mata Kucing“. The fruit was found to be growing abundantly atop the hill know as Bukit Mata Kucing behind the Chinese Tua Pek Kong Temple. Locally, the fruit is known as Isau or Green Longan while its botanical name is Dimocarpus Longan, spp.malesianus, var malesianus and it belongs to the family of sap indaccae. It is a true tropical Longan that is only found in Sarawak. It belongs to the group of fruit with the vernacular name of Mata Kucing which also includes Sau, Kakus and Guring fruits. Mata Kucing trees were grown wildly around Sungai Kuching in the olden days. The fruit is spherical in shape, dark green in colour with numerous protuberances on its skin surface. Mata Kucing‘s color changes from dark green to light yellowish green as it ripens. The flesh is translucent, crispy and sweet. KUCHING NAME HAS BEEN USED LONG BEFORE JAMES BROOKE Looking back in history, the name “Kuching” actually predated the rule of James Brooke. It has been called so during the Brunei rule. This could be proven in James Brooke’s private letter to his mother on 14.9.1841 where he used the word “Kuchin” with a note stating that “Kuchin” was the native name of Sarawak. The name “Kuchin” was however dropped and only Sarawak was used in another letter to his mother dated 26.3.1842. On 12.8.1872, in the Supreme Council meeting, the second White Rajah of Sarawak, Sir Charles Brooke reverted to the name of “Sarawak” in place of “Kuching” even though at that time, Sarawak was the name of the capital and the river which flows through it as well as the territory of Sarawak. This was because he wanted to define the township of Sarawak by a more positive appellation. From then onward, Kuching became the name of the town and the name Sarawak was used to represent the whole territory, according to Sarawak Gazette No.47 dated 16.8.1972)

Hi Myer...Kuching is known as one of the best food haven in Malaysia. Some friends from West Malaysia even purposely fly over here for the food 😊. You can Google about our foods and places of interest. Museums ( it's not dull and boring InsyaAllah), our parks ( Sarawak State Library,Taman Sahabat,Orchid Garden ), For food you can try Sarawak Laksa,Mee Kolok, and since you're Muslim, you can always ask if it's halal. 😊😊

Hi Myers. There are colonials building to see. There are tourist attractions to see. But if you want to get to know Sarawak (from Kuching) is the people and the cultures. There’s a lot of forest/beaches to see and the best one to appreciate kuching is to stay and visit the dayak longhouses. Sarawak is best in the past and we still can live in it if you go and experience it. Other than that kuching is a place to relax, recuperate and heal. ♥️

There is an opinion that Kuching got its name in conjunction with a small river, Sungai Kuching that flows between the Chinese Museum and the Pek Kong Old Temple. The Kuching River probably got its name from the Forest Cat that often visited it. The river is also close to a hill that is overgrown with Cat's Eye Fruit trees. Because of that it was named Bukit Mata Kucing. However, historical facts show that Kuching has been known by that name since the arrival of the English traveler, James Brooke in 1839. In addition, other opinions state that during Brooke's reign, Kuching played an important role in Indo-China and Asia Pacific trade activities. Its position in the south of the Borneo archipelago is a strategic location to be used as a port of call for Indo-Chinese traders.

I am impressed by this place so far. Looks clean, and lots of nature. Wonder about prices, affordability and safety. I am curious now.

Kuching people more friendlier and able to confidently communicate with tourists with their good English. Miri people lack of this confidence.

The Kuching Museum got a new renovation, that's why most of the locals ask you to go to the museum.

Some people say the word Kuching comes from the word Cochin originated from India which means port. While others say it comes from the words Mata kucing a kind of tropical fruit, and course some say it's from the word kucing which means cat. Whatever the word Kuching originated from, it doesn't matter. It's a beautiful, clean and friendly city with many different arrays of cultures and food to experience.

Hey Myer, nice video. I'm not sure if you are still in Kuching, but I can recommend the museum. It is really well done. No need to film though, because that is boring indeed. Just go for your personal encrichment

I agree, museums can be quite boring. But I do love to see ruins, historical buildings, war structures, preserved shophouses (Singapore has a shophouse museum tour that is really quite informative for example) etc. You can usually find some sort of authentic cultural event as well...the longhouses/headshrinkers...and if you're there at the right time you can take in the rain forest festival (not really a historical thing, but it is becoming part of that area's cultural experience I suppose).

I suggest you visit to Kuching when there are festival occur. Then you can enjoy more experience in culture & other special/interesting things in Kuching @ Sarawak. Like food festival, Rainforest festival, Ramadhan, Raya, tahun baru china, Gawai etc. Try to eat "Mee Kolok" too. It is one of the unique/signature food from Sarawak.

I remember that river promenade, that Chinese temple, that pink mosque, and the grassy park areas. Pretty sure I went into most of the museums and those kind of civic centers. I even stayed on one of those streets you like, mostly always on the second level. Cant remember if that Garden hotel was one of them, but I do seem to remember one on a corner. oh, yeah, the food courts and markets, and bus 'depo' area.
