| Secrets and Romance in Northern Sarawak ---. 💃🏻 Miri Travel Diary | Secrets and Romance in Northern Sarawak 🌟 Trip Highlights 1. Blue Tears and Fluorescent Beaches Walk along Tusan Beach and leave fluorescent blue footprints. The peak season is from September to December (depending on luck), and the best time to capture this magical moment is at dusk when the moon rises. It is recommended to wear a light-colored long dress. With the interweaving of waves and fluorescence at night, every shot is a cinematic masterpiece. 2. Dive into the Borneo Sea Borneo Dive Network, a professional PADI dive center, is recommended to explore coral reefs and tropical fish. The rainy season (November-February) may affect visibility, but the underwater world is still fascinating. Booking in advance by email is recommended. 3. Explore Mulu National Park Transfer from Miri to the world heritage site, Mulu National Park, hike through the rainforest, and check in at the "world's largest cave," Deer Cave. Wear light sportswear and a sun-protective jacket. The primeval forest offers a Wizard of Oz-like experience that is beyond picturesque. 🏨 Accommodation Recommendations - Urban Luxury Choice: Wendy's House A renovated century-old house with a retro Nanyang style and self-service. The air-conditioned rooms are clean and fresh. The night market is within walking distance. Buy some Laksa in the evening and enjoy it on the hotel terrace, relaxing and carefree. - Seaside Resort Style: Marina ParkCity Hotel Floor-to-ceiling windows directly face the South China Sea, and the infinity pool is perfect for sunsets. It is recommended to choose a high-rise sea-view room, where you can wake up to sunshine and the sound of waves, and start a lazy vacation mode. 📸 Instagrammable Spots - Canada Hill Sunset Climb to the top of Canada Hill in the evening to overlook the panoramic view of Miri. Take photos against the light in a white dress by the century-old oil well ruins and the red betel nut tree path next to the Indigenous Peoples' Heritage Centre for a perfect atmosphere. - Pray at Guan Di Temple The vermilion temple on the hillside is filled with incense. Ask for a marriage fortune and take some new Chinese-style photos under the carved doorway, capturing the charm of tradition and modernity. 🍴 Food Map - Li Feng Cafe Must-try Sarawak Laksa, the rich aroma of coconut milk and shrimp paste paired with homemade lemon tea. It is recommended to go in the morning to avoid the tourist crowds and enjoy breakfast slowly at the retro flower-tiled table. - Family Reunion Restaurant Michelin-recommended Nyonya cuisine, signature curry fish head and pandan coconut rice. The environment is Instagram-worthy. Wearing a floral dress and taking photos in front of the green plant wall is super eye-catching. 💡 Practical Tips 1. Preparation before departure: - Electronic visa (Entri) costs 160 yuan and is issued on the same day. Bring sunscreen and mosquito repellent. Prepare a transparent umbrella for the rainy season (both a photo prop and practical). - AirAsia baggage allowance is cheaper when purchased on the official website. Choose Celcom for your phone card (best signal on the islands). 2. Safety Tips: - Avoid going to remote beaches alone at night. Use Grab to hail a ride (link your credit card). The city center is safe, but keep your small bag close. 3. Shopping Bonus: Find handmade batik dresses and bird's nests at Central Market in the city center. Miri is like a pearl hidden in Sarawak, with both the laziness of the old Nanyang days and the poetic nature of the wild. Here, every day is a romantic date with the mountains and the sea, and with yourself. ✨
