Things to see and do Miri

40 kilometres from Miri, this long beach of fine sand and rocks offers superb sunsets. Its rock formations are impressive, including the famous Horse Stone, a natural stone bridge that evokes a drinking horse. Around the car park, street caterers concoct appetizing local dishes. If it may not be worth a dedicated trip, check with your organizer or driver to see if the beach is on the road when returning from an expedition near Miri.

This pretty temple incorporates the classic Chinese elements of the Buddhist temple. Set beside the river, you can see the ships cruising offshore. Zhang Li, a sailor from China, landed on Penang in 1746. Much appreciated by the island's 50 inhabitants, he became a teacher. After his death, the islanders built a temple in his memory, dedicated to Tua Pek Kong, an incarnation of the god Fu, the god of prosperity. From then on, worship of Tua Pek Kong began to spread to Malaysia, Singapore and several Indonesian islands.
