Kuching Waterfront (27.6.2009)

After Cat Museum, I went to Kuching Waterfront. The last time I went there was 5 years ago. Nothing much different, I saw some renovation were on progress and the new building for DUN Sarawak located opposite it. Then, I just walked around and taking picture, actually already a bit tired. At night will have dinner with my IDS colleagues. The best things was the sunset. I love it. Recommended for couple to come..hihi. Sure rooooo-mantic. Very suitable for families outing too. Lai~ lai~ come come to Kuching Waterfront. You sure will enjoy it.

Simple introduction :

A major restoration and land reclamation project has become the most popular meeting place in the city. Drab warehouses have been replaced with an almost 900m long esplanade, beautifully landscaped and dotted with wooden benches, food stalls, restaurants and entertainment facilities. A number of old buildings have been preserved and incorporated into the design, including the Chinese History Museum, the Sarawak Steamship Building, an open-air theatre and the Square Tower. Modern additions to the Waterfront include a restored Chinese pavilion, an observation tower, a tea terrace and the spectacular musical fountains, as well as a number of modern sculptures. During the daytime, the Waterfront offers excellent views of the Astana, Fort Margherita and the Malay kampungs which line the north bank of the river, but at night-time the waterfront really comes alive; it seems that half of Kuching is out meeting friends, watching a show or just taking the air.
