CHINESE HERITAGE TRAIL

Embark on a scenic 40-minute drive from Kuching to Siniawan Village, a historic Hakka trading hub to unfold the Chinese legacy of Numerology and Geomancy through its traditional town planning. Explore authentic wooden shop-houses. Discover the Saliva of Hope (Bird’s Nests) and the Mountain Elf Shrine (Siniawan Tao Temple).

Our journey continues with a short drive to a secluded spot where Liew’s Sanctuary is located. A tranquil spot with a hill at its background and a river bypassing its front where Liew Shan Pang once quoted as saying, “An endless journey to go with an entire hill to climb comes not without any tribulation. Our sweat and blood is immeasurable like the flow of the river.”

Next, we head to Buso, a quaint town that once served as a base for Hakka Freedom Fighters. Here, you can stroll through the petite town or relax by the riverbank or in a local coffee shop as your guide shares captivating stories of Buso’s history and its brave warriors. Our adventure wraps up with a drive to Bau absorbing mystical chronicles, mythologies and philosophies on places like the Chinese (Hakka) Cemetery, Bong Low Sian Tze (Taoist) Temple, and the stunning Bau Blue Lake (former gold mine). Return to Kuching by late afternoon.
