Streets squares and districts to visit Kuching

"For many years, India Street and the surrounding area were a favorite haunt of Indian merchants. Now entirely pedestrianized and covered, it will delight lovers of exotic fabrics. Take India Mosque Lane, a dark, cramped passageway, and you'll see Kuching's first mosque, built by Muslims from South India in 1837. On the other side, you come to Gambier Street, which faces the river. Full of life, you'll find a wide selection of spices that will immerse you in the fragrant world of Indian cuisine.

Located 23 km south-west of Kuching, Siniawan, with its old wooden buildings, is a village that has retained its old-world charm. Be sure to visit the ancient Shui Yue Gong temple dedicated to Guanyin. On weekend evenings, Siniawak comes alive with the night market in the main street. Under the red Chinese lanterns, locals and visitors gather to enjoy the wide variety of specialties on offer. An excellent way to spend an evening is to feast on local specialities and immerse yourself in the warm atmosphere.
