(Sarawak culture village)
Sarawak is rich in history and heritage. It is also known
as Land of The Hornbills. The population comprises of local ethnic groups
namely Iban, Bidayuh, Orang Ulu, Melanau and other minor tribes plus the
Malays, Chinese and Indians living together in harmony for more than a
century.
Being the largest state in Malaysia, Sarawak covers a vast area of 124,000 sq-km of land along the northwest coast of Borneo, the third largest island in the world. Sarawak offers you a journey of relentless discovery as you travel from city to city and from village to village where you will find, remnants of colonial architectures and in a rich heritage. |
Here, it is possible to see Sarawak's ethnic
diversity at a glance. The handicraft is both bewildering and tempting,
including the Kain Songket (Malay cloth with gold inlay), Pua Kumbu (Iban
housewives textiles), Melanau Terendak (sunhat), Bidayuh tambok (basket),
Iban parang (swords), Orang Ulu wood carving and Chinese ceramics.
