Not really a fan of Wifey pastry (老婆饼 ) usually, but it is indeed a must try! It is so fragrant, chewy, the right level of softness/firmness and not too flaky.The pastries were freshly baked and heavenly tasty. It’s a must in the to-do-list when visiting the historical and harmonious Bau Town. Great varieties of cakes and pastries offered here. Price was standard.Highly recommended. 👍. #kuchingsarawak #cuti²malaysia

Very easy trail to the cave. Entrance fee is RM1 for Malaysians. Sandals and slippers are prohibited but you can rent a pair of shoes on the spot at RM 3 per person. Remember to bring touch light or handphone as it is complete dark inside the cave. Many bats and swiftlets hanging on the top of the cave. A bit slippery and you need to wear proper shoes to allow entry into the cave. It take 30 minutes to complete the walking course. Highly recommended! #cuti²malaysia #kuchingsarawak #tripblazers

Welcome to Borneo Happy Farm in Kuching Sarawak Malaysia, this is children favorite

Borneo Happy Farm Kuching, Sarawak

#myhiddengems This cave needs more effort compared to Wind caves. There are many stairs and lots of climbings. But it is worth the effort as the view in the cave is very beautiful. Taking another route through the darker inner trail led to a small opening to another side of the cave or mountain. It seemed to have less bats compared to Wind cave but it is much bigger. Expect at least 1 hour to complete all the trails. Visited on -Weekday Wait time -No wait Reservation recommended -No

My siblings and I recently had an incredible day exploring the charming Siniawan Heritage Town in Kuching. The town’s rustic vibe, with its preserved old-world architecture and colorful street markets, made us feel like we had stepped back in time. We enjoyed walking through narrow streets lined with heritage buildings, soaking in the laid-back atmosphere. The food stalls were a highlight, offering an array of local delicacies. Each of us picked something different, and we shared it all — from kolo mee to refreshing coconut drinks. The ambiance was further enhanced by the beautiful string lights hanging overhead, adding a magical touch, especially as the day turned into evening. We also appreciated the warmth of the locals, who were more than happy to share the history and stories of the town. It’s not often we get to experience a place that feels both relaxing and culturally rich, but Siniawan Heritage Town delivered on both fronts. This trip gave us a unique opportunity to bond over shared experiences and appreciate Kuching’s cultural heritage. I highly recommend Siniawan as a must-visit, whether you’re traveling with family, friends, or even solo. It’s a perfect spot for some meaningful quality time in a picturesque, historical setting!#family #kuching #awesomepic #sister #Siniawanheritagetown

A day in Bau, Kuching (Sarawak, Malaysia) is really enjoyable if you are natural lover. A few caves (famous with Wind Cave and Fairy Cave), Blue Lake, Paku Rock Maze Garden (砂南坡石迷公园) to go in 1 day. Wind Cave is dark and full of bats with a good walkway. if you are adventurous, you cannot miss Fairy Cave (as per 1st few photos). We went to both caves and Fairy Cave is hard for us. We were choosing the shortest pathway as other paths are too hard for us as we are fear of height. Please enjoy God's Creation. Away from electronic product/phone/works/worry/anxiety, be prepared the healing by our natural mother. #bausarawak

Great local food. Open around 4-5pm. Better go earlier for more parking slot. Artistic art painting on wall. Heritage old shop house. Many local food. There is a river behind those shop. A famous Guan Yin temple beside the market as well. Worth for visit. Sometimes have live band at night. Considered acceptable price for a tourist spot. Around 20mins from airport.

#malaysiatrip Well maintained bat cave with thousands of bats and other birds. The site was quiet with not a lot of tourists. The paths inside the cave are safe but completely dark. Remember to bring a flashlight or rent one for RM 3 at the ticket office. The best part was listening to the sound of all the bats (harmless) around you. Spent one hour in total. Took a taxi from Bau Market to here. However, going back was more troublesome. May have to walk a while until a taxi is available.

#malaysiatrip Frankly, I can see that the owners and the staff of this Borneo Happy Farm tries to ensure the knowledge of the flora and fauna is displayed in this Farm. Amazingly, there is information on insects, birds, reptiles, flowers, fruits, fishes and so many more about plants, trees, etc etc being incorporated on its displays. There is also information about Borneo and its history which I couldn't cover as it was indiscreetly set up at the Datuk's House outside the canteen, it could be easily missed. But since it rained heavily and we came later than expected after making a wrong turn, it was also almost the last ride for the shuttle bus too. Staff at all locations are very friendly and well trained. The shuttle bus drivers are very kind and helpful, bringing up and down wheelchair, ensuring elders have ladder to climb up, and very patient. The Guinea Wonderland has many well trained guinea pigs doing their rounds, really fun for even adults, and I must also say young children too. It was good that it is also wheelchair thoughtful, but there seemed to be only 2 for rental by deposit only of 50RM, refunded upon return. Four of us seniors enjoyed much, and I would like to return to know and learn more of the collections of flora and fauna. By the way, the canteen also has information of the tribes in Sarawak and some interesting collections of drums and musical instruments.

Fairy Cave in Sarawak is a captivating underground realm adorned with stunning stalactites and stalagmites. The cave's entrance, resembling a colossal mouth, sets the stage for an enchanting adventure. Fairy Cave is a magical fusion of nature and myth, offering a memorable journey into the heart of Sarawak's wonder. #awesomepic #cave #geology

Wind Cave is located within the Gunung Mulu National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is known for its impressive limestone formations, stalactites, and stalagmites. I am a geologist and impressed with the formations. Shaped by centuries of wind, its limestone formations create a mesmerizing subterranean landscape. Wind Cave is a must-visit for those seeking the untouched beauty of Borneo's natural wonders, easily accessible within the heart of Gunung Mulu National Park.#awesomepic #couplestrip #geology

Bau, Sarawak - Tasik Biru/Blue Lake. This man-made lake got its name from the Hakka Chinese dialect, “Tai Parit” which means “big drain”. Beautiful & nice view

It was a wonderful trip to Kuching Sarawak, we rented a car and drove across the cities. At Bau, there's a beautiful cave named Fairy Cave, situated 1 hour away from the Kuching City Centre. The drive was pleasant with all the greenery along the road. The cave is open from morning to 4pm, visit early to be able to explore more! Its a adventurous track. The view inside the cave are magnificient when you look up to the hole as shown in the picture. #kuching #adventure

Mendung Escape in Sarawak.. Healing placr above hill

As I reviewed Wind Cave before, now it’s time for me to review on Fairy Cave. Fairy Cave (also known as Gua Pari) is an impressive show cave near the former gold mining settlement of Bau and about 40km from Kuching, Sarawak. It is just a few minutes drive from another show cave, Wind Cave, and most tourists would combine both on a half-day trip from Kuching. Access to the cave is via a four storey concrete staircase which brings you to the cave entrance. You pass through a dim, narrow passage and up some steep wooden steps. It is fairly dark but you can manage without a torch light, unlike Wind Cave where a torch light is essential. Some might find this part rather claustrophobic but bear with it as the passage soon emerges into a massive cave with a huge opening which allows the light to flood in. A breathtaking and otherwordly landform just an hour outside of Kuching. Fairy Cave is a magical experience that I highly recommend when visiting Kuching, Sarawak, Malaysia. 🇲🇾 One of the must go place too if you’re in Kuching, Sarawak. 😄
