TOURISM SPOT: FAIRY CAVE, BAU

Bau Town, what is there to see? some people commented.

Through history we know that Bau was a gold quarry town before and are full of interesting place to visit, namely the fairy Cave and Wind cave, the traditional Bidayuh village, its lime stone forest which are diverse in orchid, and plants. Picnic should be in the itinerary or just walk around the busy and rustic Bau town itself (some part of the town). You will find the jungle produce market an interesting place to visit.

If you fancy shopping at the border town: Serikin is the place. What can you get? Rattan mat and everything except KFC, McDonald.

Hance, here I highlight the fairy cave and wind cave. I have no pictures of the cave itself as this trip i did not go into the cave. The recreational facilities provided are excellent for picnic at the side of the cave. Here are some of the pictures for you to judge if it is worth the time to visit this place.

The ample parking space just at the mouth of the fairy cave and it is line up with trees.


A model of Baruk (traditional Bidayuh warrior house) which is the office used by SFC. Yes, you need to registered to enter the cave. The beautiful limestone on the background. Limestone have a high density of orchids.


The BBQ pits and picnic spot for families. Don't worry about the sun as it is shaded by the trees.


Another resting place.



The stream running besides the cave. It a heaven to BBQ and at the same time you can dip in the nice cold stream.
