Bau One Of The Best Vacation Places in Malaysia

Sarawak is the world of Hornbills. As a matter of fact, Sarawak was well known as the habitat of Hornbill. However, do you think that it is the only reason people visit Sarawak? No, it isn’t. There are many places you can visit especially at Bau District.

Wind Cave
It is located in the middle of Bau District, 25 kilometers from Kuching International Airport. When you reach Wind Cave, you will be guided by the park attendant for the cave tracking. When you are inside the cave, you can feel that the wind blowing off your face. Cool, right? Besides the cave, there is a clean and clear river for you to swim. The water is refreshing and a bit cool. The park management also has provided a place for you to have a barbeque. Wind Cave is opened everyday for visitors.

Gawai festival
Gawai festival is one of the attractions. Bau, is the best vacation places to visit for its various festivals. Actually, Gawai is celebrated officially on the 1st of June every year but, at Bau it is celebrated from the month of June to the end of July. Gawai Festival has been believed to be the spiritual ceremony for the spirit of paddy after harvesting. During Gawai, you will be presented by several of spiritual dances and “Gong” musical to be played on that night. “Ngabang” is the activity of visiting friend’s house; you drink and eat everything served to you during Gawai.

Serikin
Serikin is a village located approximately 20 kilometers from Bau District. Actually, there is nothing so special about it but, during weekend there is a big sale occurs at Serikin. There are many things sold like handy crafts, cheap house holds, cloths and delicious food. They are all very cheap. For your information, it is not local men who do the sell but they are Indonesian. Since Serikin is located near the border of Sarawak and Jawa, they came to Serikin to sell various types of things that I have mentioned above. They sell it in a small stall or hut along the road of the Serikin Village. You should go here when you take a vacation at Sarawak.

The culture and the way people communicate here make you feel that Bau district is totally different from other places you have been visited. There are many best vacation places to visit actually, however it is your own decision. It is just my recommendation. I’m honest with myself that you can feel the lifestyle of the Land Dayak.
