Sarawak River Cruise
Dear May Lee,
How are you? I hope you are well. Everyone here is fine.
In your email, you wanted to know the best way to see the beautiful city
of Kuching. Well, one of the best ways is to go on a cruise along the Sarawak
River. The Sarawak River Cruise provides a unique and different experience.
Along your journey on the river, you will pass small house-like boats called
perahu tambang which are used to ferry locals across the river. You will also
see Malay kampung houses built on stilts and fishing villages.
Besides that, you will pass the Astana, which used to be Rajah Brooke’s
residence. Located next to the Astana is Fort Margherita which is now a police
museum.
Before returning to Kuching city, you will cruise by the Satok Bridge. Make
sure you don’t miss the new State Legislative Building. It is as grand as a
palace and resembles the Melanau tribal hat.
That’s all for now. Bye.
State True or False.
