Sarawak Cultural Village
Kuching, Borneo
The cultural village is around an hour from the city, close to Damai beach. It has examples of traditional dwellings built by different peoples of Sarawak- in this case Orang Ulu, Bidayuh, Iban and Melanau- as well as Malay and Chinese houses.
There are six buildings in all, plus a shelter of the type the nomadic Penan periodically live in. The dwellings are inhabited by tribes people who demonstrate local arts and crafts including basketry and weaving, blow pipe shooting, top spinning and sago processing.
Even travellers who have ventured to the Borneo interior are generally impressed by this unique opportunity to see the original styles of the now modernised long houses. Each longhouse usually has some musicians and dancers and even though the experience is quite touristy it is tastefully done and sincere in intent.
