2. Bako National Park
Bako National Park is a national park in Sarawak, Malaysia, located in the Kuching Division. It is Sarawak’s oldest national park, having been established in 1957. It is located near the point of the Muara Tebas peninsula, at the confluence of the Bako and Kuching Rivers, and has an area of 27.27 square kilometers. Kuching is roughly 40 kilometers away by a vehicle. The sandstone has been eroded over millions of years, resulting in a coastline of towering cliffs, craggy headlands, and stretches of white, sandy coves. Many of the rocky headlands have been cut into beautifully shaped sea arches and sea stacks with colorful patterns generated by iron deposition at the base of the cliffs.

There are crisscross stairways and stunning rock formations inside the big and wide cave.
5. The Sarawak Museum
The Sarawak Museum began as a personal effort for Alfred Wallace, a well-known British naturalist. Wallace wanted to acquire animal specimens from Borneo Island’s mainly unknown territories. The museum now has a number of stunning specimens of Victorian architecture as well as hundreds of exquisite objects found locally. It also exhibits ethnographic relics from indigenous peoples who formerly lived in Sarawak’s territory, as well as rare taxidermy and human skulls.
