    If you see Mt Santubong from an angle, you'll find a profile that resembles a woman lying down. This has inspired a legend about two beautiful princesses, Santubong & Sejinjang who got into quarrel and started to fight. Princess Sejinjang then injured Princess Santubong who fell and turned into the mountain we see today. Princess Sejijang was also injured by Santubong and was turned into a mountain

    Orang Ulu literally means "up-river dwellers" and made up of several tribes, namely the Kayans, Kenyahs, Kelabit, Lun Bawang & other tribes. The model house in the Sarawak Cultural Village is common amongst the Orang Ulu except for the Penans.

    The long house is normally built close to the river and supported high on berlian or ironwood stilts. 20-30 families can be accommodated and each family reside in their own "apartment" referred to as a door. The community gather & socialize in the main hall or gallery in front of each door where a main fireplace and display of skulls are seen
