The Kuching Riverside Kampung (GPS: 1.56071, 110.35188) is the Malay village located across the Sarawak River from the Kuching Waterfront. Although it is not much different from other Malay kampungs, it provides a glimpse of rural Malay life, even though it is right in the heart of the city. There is a mosque and clusters of Malay houses, and as you explore it, you might almost forget that you are just a river across from Kuching's city centre.

Getting there

Take the ferry sampang, called tambang, across the river.
