Tourism in Kuching

Besides food, there are a number of touristy thing one could do when you visit here in Kuching. I gather outdoor activities in Kuching is quite something but unfortunately it rains most of the days during our visit here, we therefore didn't have much chance to explore it's outdoors more.

How else best to see the city other than driven by a local, it was such a privilege!

rare scene of drying noodles the old school ways
 Kuching Riverside - what to see?
the riverside, crossing this river to the other side only cost 50cents
cats artwork nearby riverside
city view from a complex and did u see the red chinese temple from the picture? go have some shooting fun with the vibrant red wall - sample of fun in the following picture :)
I'm the wall paper
Friendship garden at Jalan Song, the park's landscape's design are contributed by both Malaysian and China. Local goes to the park for working out.
these engraving is made for every single state in Malaysia
some very Chinese looking architecture 
The following activity is definitely my favourite - hiking at Mt Singai!
free parking space is available at the roadside, there isn't any visible signboard to the mountain, however you could look out for the huge signboard in this picture.

Parking near this area is strictly not allowed, this is apparently a private area

here's the right direction to the entrance of the mountain 
The slippery stairs all the way up the Catholic church 200m high
From the main worship hall, you will find the entrance to the mountain trail, and the trail is quite easy, it was a little challenging that morning due to the slippery floor cause by raining season
This huge tree is amazing, located not far from the church, if you can't reach the top, try at least aim here as your objective
The peak - approximately 1600m above sea level
Kuching biggest roundabout - road on the way to Santubong. 

A quick glimpse of Santubong from the car
Those kids got a little crazy and excited over the biggest roundabout in Kuching
Cotton tree at Kuching Merdeka square - I called it Merdeka tree 
Dragon boat at the riverside, however too crowded to even squeeze in to take a closer glimpse
This roundabout with cats statue is the only thing I remember seeing when I last visit Kuching like close tp 10 years ago. 
Conclusion from the trip is that I like Kuching, much for it's food as well as the state is so rich with green and outdoor activities.
