August 11, 2021 Joeann Galban

Sarawak (/səˈrɑːwɒk/; Malay: [saˈrawaʔ]) is a state of Malaysia. Being the largest among 13 other states with the size almost equal to West Malaysia, Sarawak is located in northwest Borneo Island, Sarawak is bordered by the Malaysian state of Sabah to the northeast, Kalimantan, the Indonesian portion of Borneo, to the south, and the independent country of Brunei in the north. The capital city, Kuching, is the economic centre of the state and seat of the Sarawak state government. Other cities and towns in Sarawak include Miri, Sibu, and Bintulu. As of the 2015 census, the population of Sarawak was 2,636,000. Sarawak has an equatorial climate with tropical rainforests and abundant animal and plant species. It has several prominent cave systems at Gunung Mulu National Park. Rajang River is the longest river in Malaysia; Bakun Dam, one of the largest dams in Southeast Asia, is located on one of its tributaries, the Balui River. Mount Murud is the highest point in Sarawak.

KLB Garden

Located in the heart of Tebedu, KLB garden provides a new leisure concept, "civilization meets nature" to visitors. It is a new retreat destination in Sarawak where both local and foreign visitors from bustling cities can truly experience Borneo.

We were there for about 2 hours. Please check feeding time before you visit, we made it for otter feeding and it was fun. Bidayuh performance available on Sundays. Good varieties of animals, and well maintained. Has riding activities for hire, mini playground areas for kids too. Kids had fun feeding goats, sheeps, rabbits, deer etc. Saw an area for boating but wasn’t open when we were there, perhaps later on.

Not the easiest to find as the signs run out once get to the road to the State Legislature, a sign at the top to go left would be helpful to tourists. We found it and told other tourists how to find. Overall, a great assortment of orchids, the outside ones seemed to be out of season but we still enjoyed what was there. We accidentally left the cold room to the end & that was the best as it had the best orchids, recommend doing it that way. If you have the time, go! Also free admission.

The park or zoo is more accurate as a lot plant and animals you can find here. Visitors come over to take photos of unique flora and fauna .Sectional park divided examples, orchids garden,butterfly garden, birds garden,and others. Tell you friendly, I even surprised by a bird, that can talk with two different sound like human beings. Be harmony with the nature or gradually many beauty creature will reduce or extinct.
