Kuching
The name of the largest town in Sarawak is Kuching (Kuching means cat in Bahasa Malaysia) and has about 380,000 citizens.
70% of the people in Kuching are Chinese.
Around an artificial lake there is a group of houses from the seven different people groups in Borneo.
Here you can find a typical Malayan house, a Chinese house, longhouses from Bidayuh and the Iban people, house from Penan-nomades,
Melanau, and Urang Ulu-people.
A longhouse is a kind of terrace-house with a shared veranda which follows the whole side. The whole village lives in the same house.
The house is split in different sections with a door facing the veranda and there is a room for each family.
Besides looking at houses and chatting with the village people, you can also try shooting a blow pipe, play spinning (a game with a “spinning top”) and watch dance shows.
