We flew with Air Asia from Kota Kinabalul to Miri. The flight was good, and
so were the views!
Miri is the 2nd largest city in Sarawak and has a population of 300,000
people with a mixture of Chinese, indigineous tribes who have moved
down from their native lands that have been logged, and Malays
Miri is Sarawak and Malaysia’s first Oil producing area, with the finding of
Oil first officially recorded in 1882.
The locals had been using Oil long before, collecting it for medicinal use, for
waterproofing of boats and for lighting oil lamps.
It was not until 1910 when the first oil company moved in to exploit its wealth
Miri looks to be quite a rich city, we noticed that quite a few of the homes
were very large.
We did find there wasn't a lot to see and do here, and probably one day is enough.
I enjoyed walking around the large impressive chinese cemetery which I
could see from the air, it was so huge!
We hired a car from the Airport which they let us keep for longer for the
same price, as our plane was delayed. We couldn't complain about that
service!
- Pros:Loved our accommodation the Miri Marriott Hotel & Spa
- Cons:Very busy, not many parking spots in city centre.
- In a nutshell:Not a lot to occupy a Tourist for more than a day!

IMO Cemeteries are wonderful to visit and this one here in Miri looks very beautiful as are the many temples.
Really good main photo. Would love to roam around that cemetery as well.
Hello Hannah! Thanks for stopping by my Seoul page. I see you have traveled quite a bit. You photos of the cemetery in Miri looks quite different than mine in Seoul. My favorite cemetery I visited was in Paris. Just spectacular!
Sounds very attracting! Must be a nice place to visit!
