To deter further invasions, Brooke constructs forts at Lingga and the mouth of the Skrang River on Batang Lupar. 1855: Brooke forms the Supreme Council, which is made up of a select number of Sarawak’s most powerful officials, to assist him in governing the country. 1857: During the night, 600 Chinese miners from Bau sail down the Sarawak river to assault Astana, the government buildings, and the fort. Except for the Chinese quarters, much of Kuching has been burnt to the ground. The rebels flee up river and are pursued all the way to Bau and the Dutch Borneo border, where they attempt to flee to Sambas and Pon- tianak. 1864: Britain recognises Sarawak as an independent principality. 1872: The name of the town formerly known as ‘Sarawak’ was changed to Kuching. 1958: Kuching airport opened 1941: Japanese army occupy Miri, Japan attack and capture Kuching. 1945: Japanese army surrender 1959: First general election held in Sarawak. 1963: Sarawak join Malaysia

Caves Deer Caves Deer Cave is a display cave feature of Gunung Mulu National Park near Miri, Sarawak, Ma- laysia. G. E. Wilford of the Malaysian Geologi- cal Survey studied it in 1961 and anticipated that Mulu might yield many additional caves in the future. The cave, which the indigenous Penan and Berawan people call Gua Payau or Gua Rusa, is thought to have gotten its name from the deer that come there to lick salt- bearing rocks and find refuge. Fairy and Wind Caves Wind Cave at Bau is a half-hour drive from Kuching and meanders through a rocky out- crop on the Sarawak River’s banks. Wind Cave is only 8 kilometres distant from Fairy Cave. The cave is accessed through a four- story concrete stairway that leads to the cave entrance. You walk up several steep wooden steps after passing through a gloomy, tight Niah Cave corridor. It’s dimly lit, but unlike Wind Cave, where a torch is required, you may get by Niah National Park is home to the Niah Caves limestone cave and archaeological site, without one.

Some of Southeast Asia’s earli- est human remains have been unearthed in the caverns. You won’t be the only one who comes to see this spectacular cave.

Chinese gourmets all over the world love the birds’ nests. Clear Water Cave The Clearwater Cave System in Gunung Mulu National Park, Sarawak, Malaysia is believed to be one of the largest interconnected cave systems in the world by volume and the 9th longest cave in the world at 236.796 km. The system lies mainly under the western margins of Gunung Api between the Melinau Gorge and Cave of the Winds.

Beaches Tanjung Batu Beach Tanjung Batu Beach is a popular picnic and recreational location for both residents and visitors. Along the beach, there are several food and drink kiosks, with fresh coconut juice being one of the most popular options. Bintulu’s town centre is around 5 kilometres away. Damai Beach There is never a boring moment on the Damai Peninsular, which is surrounded by lush forests and sandy beaches. There is al- ways something to do and see for everyone, whether you are on a relaxing vacation or a fast-paced trip. Tusan Beach Tusan Beach, approximately an hour’s drive from Miri, is a popular weekend destination for city people looking to reconnect with na- ture. Tusan Beach and Cliffs is an 11-kilome- ter stretch of rather small white sand beach- es punctuated by rock outcroppings and backed by a combination of sandstone and limestone cliffs. The views from the cliffs’ summit are breathtaking, especially around sunset. There is no direct beach access; in- stead, you must walk from Bakam Beach or Bungai Beach. Bungai Beach Bungai Beach is about an hour’s drive from Miri and is located near Kampung Bungai in Bekenu. Beachgoers go to Bungai Beach because of the beautiful beach, clear wa- ters, and natural beauty of the surrounds. It’s rather remote and a fantastic place to get away from the city’s hustle and bustle.
