What to expect at Kuching?

Kuching isn’t just the capital city of Sarawak – it also means “cat” when translated. And true to its name, you’ll find cat statues, cat-themed museums, and murals scattered all over the city. But there’s more to Kuching – it also has a long history in Borneo, and there are many museums you can visit to learn more about the history of the indigenous people who once inhabited the lands.
