Traditional boats (the sampan or locally known as tambang) are still an important form of transport in Sarawak, with its vast network of rivers. Where once the boats were mainly for fishing and transport, they have now become tourist attractions too, with tourists taken on sightseeing tours of the city. Tourists can hop on board and cruise along, past some of the city’s famous landmarks and heritage buildings such as the Astana (official residence of the Yang di-Pertua Negeri Sarawak), Sarawak State Legislative Assembly as well as the Fort Margherita (a fort constructed by Charles Brooke in 1879). Tourists can also find traditional Malay villages along the riverbanks and drop by at the cake shop across Kuching waterfront for a taste of the Sarawak layer cake.
