A wellnworth visit to see the whole of the Sarawak region in one place. Our guide. Richard was very good and explained each tribes culture and with the local people within each of the areas, the place comes alive. To finish there is a full culture show.
Could be good with some TLC

The village has clear potential to be fantastic - but- is in need of some serious maintenance - questionable safety in places. Could do with more information about how people lived and features of the houses. At the Chinese house we learned about pepper production which was great and some houses provided a bit of music and dancing. The show at the end is excellent. Our driver was kind but a bit unclear, erratic and didn’t seem very familiar with the place.
Don't miss this introduction to traditional Sarawak culture

Excellent way to see the traditional houses without going into to jungle. Really authentic. The cultural performance show was also great

Having all cultures in Sarawak show-cased in one place was excellent. We visited each and every unit at the site and were impressed by the elaborate display of the dwellings and artifacts. The cultural performance at the end of our visit was superb. We had in the past visited a similar cultural village in Sabah and this tour was comparable, if not more elaborate. Not to be missed, while in Kuching, Sarawak.
Worth the visit👍

Great for couples or families. Interactive displays and exhibits. Even with some travel within Asia we found it a rewarding experience and strongly recommend at least a half day visit. The performances at the cultural center were worth waiting for. Getting there requires a taxi or a tour as it is not easy to get to. Still worth the visit!
