A pleasant walk or drive up the hill takes you to the Grand Old Lady. It is Miri's first drilled oil well which took place in the year of 1910 by Shell Company. It is one of Miri's many main places of attraction and also act as an important monument in the eyes of the local's and definitely, the world's. There is a museum named the Petroleum Museum situated just next to The Grand Old Lady. The Grand Old Lady stands majestically on Canada Hill and makes for a good photo.

Miri; Catching Sunset on Top of Grand Old Lady
#familytrips2024 #awesomepic #vianasjourney
Grand Old Lady or also known as Miri Oil Well is one of the historal landmark in the city. The museum shared informations of the background/ history of oil and gas journey in Miri (museum was close when I visited this time though, do check the opening time carefully). Apart from the museum, many locals visit here to watch the sun set, jogging, hiking and even photography. Small stalls available around mostly selling light snacks. It’s pretty cool spending time here in the evening, it is windy and relaxing. Go, and give it a try.

The Grand Old Lady - Canada Hill
#travellerswonderland
Canada Hill stands as a timeless testament to the rich history and natural beauty Miri. From its vantage point, visitors are treated to panoramic views of the cityscape below, as well as the sparkling waters of the South China Sea stretching out into the horizon.
The journey to Canada Hill is an adventure in itself, with winding roads leading up to the summit, flanked by lush greenery and towering trees.

Miri Well No. 1
#familytrips2024
Historical land rig that refers to the start of Malaysia Oil & Gas industry. Located on top of a hill. Miri well number one.
The visit is free and the best time will be earlier in the day or later in the afternoon, since it gets really hot during mid day. When visiting, read the information plaque as well as the picture labels around the area. And remember to take a photo of yourself pushing the pipe at the bottom of the rig.
Our dream destination is to go to Hong Kong for my family trip as Hong Kong is paradise for food lovers, offering a wide variety of culinary delights. My family will enjoy it very much.

Petroleum Museum & 1st Oil Well in Malaysia
A simple tourist attraction, the 1st oil well in Malaysia, located in Miri. It was here on top of Canada Hill, drilled by Shell in 1910.
This laid the foundation for Malaysia national petroleum industry, which would help to fuel the nation’s sosio-economic development and propel Miri and its people from a sleeping village into the city of today.
