Kuching Waterfront Revisited

As part of our Kuching trip, we would make a routine trip to the Kuching Waterfront area. This year we did the same, especially since Kuching has added a newly added Dana Hana Bridge.

Our first stop would be the Tua Pek Kong Temple which is located at one end of the Waterfront and a must-visit for the tourists. Bernadine and Geraldine accompanied and be our tour guide of the day.

We had a group photo in front of the giant censer or incense burner in front of the temple. Here is the vast censer that I was talking.

Here are the offerings from all the faithful devotees to pray for their beloved family members' protection, good health, good fortune, and prosperity.

Our next stop across the street is the Chinese History Museum. It traces the history of the Chinese community in Sarawak. Exhibits include the early trade routes, initial migration from China, traditional trading activities, and political history until recent years. I did not take many photos as we did visit the museum and can be found in my earlier blog about this.

After the museum, we took a stroll along the Sarawak River along the Waterfront. We took a photo with the iconic Darul Hana bridge and the Sarawak famous DUN building at the back.

This is an S-shape pedestrian suspension bridge with two viewing decks that offer an excellent 360-degree panoramic view of the Sarawak River. Here is a picture of us together with the bridge and the Sarawak State Parlimen behind us.

I love these photo of both of us on the bridge.
