What's interesting about Kuching, Malaysia?

It is said that this is the only city in the world that worships cats.

Kuching is a very special city, divided into South City and North City. It is divided into two parts by the Sarawak River, with two mayors and two town halls. This is because Malays and Chinese in Sarawak live on both sides of the city. In order to manage the city, Malays elected a local as mayor, and Chinese chose a respected Chinese to manage the city. In this way, if problems arise between the two parties, they can always be resolved through consultation in a more equal way, and there will be no favoritism. This may also be a unique city government in the world, with complete Kuching characteristics.

Kuching is located on both sides of the Sarawak River, and the south bank of the river is the center of the colonial period, so many old European buildings have been preserved. The North Shore is the administrative center of the city, where government agencies and the Governor's Office (that is, palaces that are not open to the public can be watched from the south bank of the river) are located, and the famous Margaret Castle is also located on the North Shore.

Kuching, you must visit some local museums. The Sarawak Museum, Islamic Museum, Police Museum (Margaret Castle) and Cat Museum in the city are all very famous and worth visiting. In addition, the riverside park full of European flavor, the ancient Dabogong Temple (Chinese temple) and the Kuching Mosque in the west of the city are also must-see attractions.
