From Sarawak with Christmas love

@ tHe Spring Shopping Center

Christmas season in Kuching, the capital city of Sarawak is no different from other cities of the world. The Christmas tree figures! This year tHe Spring Shopping Center put up a 46-footer easily making it the tallest and the most well-decorated tree to date.

Plaza Merdeka gives a new skyline look to downtown Kuching

Speaking of modern shoppping centers in Kuching, Plaza Merdeka located in the historical quarters of downtown Kuching opened its door recently 12-12-12; auspicious indeed. For a start, the once quiet enclave of the Sarawak Tourism Complex and India Street's night life will never be the same again.

Merry Christmas from all of us at Sarawak Tourism Board.
