Serene and Beautiful Giam Waterfall

Giam waterfall can be found in kampung Giam at Padawan. A short distance drive from Kuching's city and it is an enjoyable place with cool crystal clear mountain stream water. Lovely place to visit and have picnic.

The scenery around the waterfall taken a few week ago during dry season.

This pool is deep.


A 'sampan' was tied up near the waterfall, according to the local people, the river is connected to the main river of Sarawak. If i remember correctly it is connected to Sungai Sarawak Kanan.

KUCHING CITY AT NIGHT

Kuching City, it should be a garden city with garden and plants around city. As this concept has been implemented a long time ago but now I feel that the greenery have been reduced as more and more development occurred. Hopefully, it will be still a garden city in the future.

I was driving in the city at night thus i stop to takes a few snap shots of Kuching.

The baruk like building at the waterfront.


The Grand Margarita Hotel at the Kuching Golden triangle (shopping and hotels).


Who say the economic was bad? I took this picture at Jalan Song. A place that i usually frequent: Peach Garden. What to eat here? I especially like the oyster pancake.
