To explore Miri is to walk around Miri.. not much for shopping or theme park but we have National Parks and also beaches. We have Mulu Caves its world famous cave system, Niah Caves for its burial grounds and cave paintings, Lambir National Park for the most diverse rainforest and waterfall and some scuba diving place that yet to be discovered
The 18-holes par-72 course is comparatively new, only opened for public play about 3 years ago... The fairway is fairly bare of trees which are still small... The 1st Nine (or Miri Nine) plays to 3,024m from the blue tees... and the 2nd Nine (or City) to 3,068m... Buggy is on fairway which makes play faster and more tolerable in the open course... The course is build around a large man-made lake and water comes into play in many holes... Within the club area, there are 120 chalets catering for golfers as well as stay-in guests... The clubhouse is a large 2-storey building with conference and meeting facilities... It also caters for weddings and company functions... Golf facilities include a driving range, pro-shop and changing rooms...
For F&B, there is the Lake View Terrace and the Driving Range Cafe...
There are 2 bus terminals in Miri.
There is one in Jalan Padang, adjacent to the Visitors' Information Centre, and this serves the local Miri network. Bus services to Sungei Tujuh (immigration point between Malaysia and Brunei) starts from the 1st bus terminal. At Sungei Tujuh, you will change to a Brunei bus which will proceed to Kuala Belait, Seria, and Bandar Seri Begawan in Brunei. The bus service is operated by the Miri-Belait Bus Company.
The 2nd one, the Outstation Bus Terminal is located at Pujut Corner, off the Miri-Pujut Road. Buses to Niah, Lambir Hills National Park, Bintulu, Sibu, Sarikei and Kuching depart from here.
The Grand Old Lady is the name of the first oil well that was dug in Malaysia back in 1910. It's located on top of Canada Hill overlooking Miri city and was able to yield 7 barrels of crude oil per day, every day, until 1972.
Located on the Sungai (river) Niah, about 3 km from the small town of Batu Niah, a 110 km to the south-west of Miri in northern Sarawak. The park was first gazetted as a National Historic Monument in 1958, gazetted as National Park on 23 November 1974 and was published to the public on 1 January 1975. The Park is one of Sarawak's smaller national parks, but it is certainly one of the most important and has some of the most unusual visitor attractions. The park's main claim to fame is its role as one of the birthplaces of civilisation in the region. The oldest modern human remains discovered in Southeast Asia were found at Niah, making the park one of the most important archaeological sites in the world.
Forty thousand years ago, the Niah Great Cave sheltered human life. Here lies the oldest human remains in Southeast Asia, along with many other relics of prehistoric man. Today the Cave is home only to bats, swiftlets and other specially adapted forms of life. However, a few locals still venture into the dark interior to collect guano (bird and bat droppings used as fertilizer) and bird's nest.
The famous Painted Cave is another highlight of the visit to Niah Cave. Here, little human-like figures drawn in red haematite watch over a gravesite where the bodies of the dead were each laid in its own boat-shaped coffin. The Great Cave and Painted Cave have been declared as National Historical Monuments.
The Caves are accessible via a raised plankwalk that winds through lowland forest vibrant with birds and butterflies. Apart from the Caves, visitors can explore several kilometres of forest trails to feel the richness of tropical rainforests, climb a 400m tall limestone ridge or visit an Iban longhouse located near the Park boundary. Visitors can also rent a boat or walk along the river from Park headquarters to Batu Niah town.
Syarikat Bas Suria (tel: (6) 085-434317/412173) has a regular bus service to batu Niah from Miri Bus Station. The journey 1 hr 40 mins to 2 hrs. Share taxis from the Bus Station are available as there are regular taxis, which can usually be chartered on a daily basis. self-drive cars are also available
The Park office ia about 3km from Batu Niah town. Chartered taxis and tour buses will take you straight there but if you arrive by bus or share taxi, you have three choices.
1. A motorised longboat from Batu Niah town to the Park Office brings you through delighful jungle scenery.
2. A taxi from Batu Niah town is not so interesting but a good idea if it is raining.
3. If you are not too heavily burdened with luggage, the park Office is a pleasant 45 minute stroll along the river bank.
I shared a taxi from Miri with another traveller for total RM120 from 7:30am to 5pm.
