Chillin' out at the beach

Chillin' out at the beach, Bintulu

 Deng249 Says:  Have some R&R time at the Tanjung Batu beach. It's about 10 minutes from the town centre. You can walk, cycle, etc. There's also an area for beach soccer. Lots of BBQ pits as well. The place is always crowded in the evening, especially so during the weekend. If you don't... 

Historical monument

Historical monument, Bintulu

 Deng249 Says:  It'll probably look like any other clock tower but there's a monument right underneath the tower. The monument isn't itself historical but it marks a historical event. The monument of Council Negri (State Council) was built in 1969, 2 years after the official centenary of... 

Kuan Yin Tong Temple

A Nightly Affair, Bintulu

water villages

water villages, Bintulu

 picek Says:  Water villages (hmmm... or fishing villages) at the banks of Kemena river are good places to experience local culture and people's way of life. These are not touristy places, so you can't expect everything to be perfectly set up for visitors. You can see the closest one at...

AA (Air Cond) Inn: the cheapest place to stay in Bintulu, Bintulu

 picek Says:  It was the cheapest... most probably. We didn't check out one of these Rumah Tumpagan around the town and close to piers. AA Inn was a bit strange place. We arrived at 6.30 am and asked for double room first. They said the price was 25 RM. So, we checked in and wanted to...

boat taxi

boat taxi, Bintulu

 picek Says:  The small wooden boats are lovely and it is cheap way to get you across the river to nice villages over there. You will have to buy ticket at some of the piers and just point your direction. They will tell you which boat you will have to take. The price per person was 0,5... 

Off The Beaten Path  

Similajau National Park

Similajau National Park, Bintulu

Not Much Here

Not Much Here, Bintulu

 mizzzthanggg Says:  No favourite thing about Bintulu. Oh! Actually... the free wifi access at the Parkcity Everly Hotel. Elsewhere, nothing but gas processing plants and karaoke joints. Oh my goodness and the logging! On the way from the airport, many huge lorries carrying loads of timber......
