Kuching at Nite

I love Kuching at night especially some of the street with beautiful lighting and it is romantic. I guess couple and tourist love the night scene in Kuching, beautiful, calm and clean.

The photo below taken from the street at Sarawak Tourism Complex looking toward the river (Waterfront).


A picture taken in front of Sarawak Tourism Complex looking toward Carpenter street.


A view of the General Post Office (the white building). The building have quite a history. At the far back, the building lighted with warm light is the Merdeka Palace Hotel.


The entrance to Carpenter Street. It was call Carpenter Street because it used to have all sort of carpenter, gold smith etc. Even today you can still find some of the carpenters and gold smith.

Will publish more of Kuching City in the future. A good friend of mine have a good blog on Kuching too (willie)

Sarawak Tourism Complex

Sarawak Tourism Complex is situated in center of Kuching town. The complex have a wonderful history as police station and also court house. I am still trying to get full information on the history of the Sarawak Tourism Complex.

Currently, it house the Sarawak Tourism Information Center and it have function room and theater for performance.

I took the photos after I attended the Musical Charity Concert. I love this place at night.


The center garden of the Sarawak Tourism Complex.

The 'Little Lebanon' restaurant is housed at this building.

The lovely lighted and beautiful landscape around the Sarawak Tourism Complex.

Over looking toward 'Carpenter Street'. Carpenter Street got its name because it used to have carpenter, goldsmith, tin smith etc. It still have goldsmith, tin smith etc but not as many now.


The huge pillar around the complex. From the pillar, most people knows who influence the architecture design... the British.
I will feature some other building next to the Sarawak Tourism Complex soon and will be regularly updating the night scene in Kuching. Till then... have a good day.
