Although known as the birthplace of Malaysia’s petroleum industry – and still reliant on oil as a leading source of income – the coastal town of Miri, in northern Sarawak on the island of Borneo, is today so much more than an oil and timber town and site of national monuments like the Grand Old Lady,  or Oil Well No. 1, drilled way back in 1910.

Looking past its industrial origins, Miri and its surrounding region draw in many visitors eager to indulge in Miri tours and activities, including scuba diving, beaches  and, just 30 minutes from Miri, the largest biodiversity park in the world, Lambir Hills National Park. Another national park, Loagan Bunut, is a magnificent haunt for bird watchers, who keep watch over a central lake that shrinks every summer. Before and after such trips, a wide range of Miri hotels covers all tastes and budgets.

Mulu Caves National Park is a World Heritage Site located 110 km west of Miri. Believed to be the longest connected cave system in the world, Mulu includes marvels like the astonishingly large Sarawak Chamber, voluminous enough to accommodate 40 Boeing 747s. Mulu’s origins probably date back more than 5 million years, giving it another superlative: the oldest cave on earth.
