KUCHING

Kuching’s history is as colorful as its riverfront streets. Once a small fishing village, it rose to prominence in the 19th century under the rule of the White Rajahs — a unique dynasty of British adventurers led by James Brooke, who established the Kingdom of Sarawak. Under their reign, Kuching transformed into a well-planned colonial capital, blending British administration with indigenous traditions. The city became a melting pot of cultures, including Malay, Chinese, Dayak, and Indian communities, each leaving their mark on its architecture, cuisine, and customs. Today, Kuching retains its old-world charm while evolving into a refined cultural hub — a gateway to both Sarawak’s rich heritage and the wild heart of Borneo.
