Miri, Sarawak minus Nyiah and Mulu

If you go to Miri , you must make an effort to go to Mulu to see the Unesco heritage of the 4 main caves. To go to Mulu, you need to fly there by Maswings, and at least stay a night there. Timing was not right and there was no flight out from Miri back to KL. Right smack near the school holidays 23 May and the Gawai holidays at the end of May. So for any trip to Miri, make sure that your timing is correct. According to friends, this Unesco heritage is really beautiful.

So,if no Mulu, next think of the Nyiah Caves. This needs at least one full day to appreciate the effort given.

There was no time to visit the Nyiah Caves since you need to go in the morning for a whole day tour. If not it is not worth the trouble of going there and walking in for a further 45 minutes.

So no Nyiah, no Mulu, what to do next? There are a few places to go to in Miri.
The photos taken below are three of them.

First, the Taman Awam of Miri. There is a suspended bridge at the park, nicely well kept, and the most beautiful of it, it is free, no entrance fee is needed.

The entrance to the Miri Public Park (Taman Awam Miri)

The hanging bridge

More than a section of the bridge

A sort of mini water park for the kids

A waterfall inside the park

Another section

Nice, right?

Next stop will be the Petronas Museum in town to see the Grand Old Lady. Thought that this must be really a lady statue or what. But then, it is the first oil well in Miri. A replica of it placed at the entrance of the museum.

The Grand Old Lady
Grand, right?

Some of the rocks that Geology students dig for and scrutinise during University days...haha..

Some of the nice exhibits inside on the oil industry

Dreaming, took an aerial view of Miri, from inside the musuem.

There is a main exhibition hall where there are exhibits on how and what people do for beauty, in the olden days and now, somewhere on our planet earth.

Some looks like we have to endure some kind of pain to gain the beauty.

See what I mean??

Some of the accessories for limbs and neck and ears too.

The last and third place was the latest fad in Miri, the Marina Bay. This place will be well lit up at night for revellers,

There is some sort of Yacht club at the side of the bay.

The seahorse is the trademark of Miri.

And lastly, some of the things one can buy in Miri, to remind you of the place.



Have a nice day, frens.
