The capital of Sarawak, Kuching is the largest city in Borneo and one of the most vibrant cities in the region. Situated on the banks of the Sarawak River, in the north-western part of the island, the city's name derives from the Malay word for 'cat' and it was once the personal kingdom of the British adventurer James Brooke, the first Rajah of Sarawak. Surviving the destruction of World War II relatively intact, the city's historic centre reflects something of the city's colonial and Chinese influences, whilst its waterfront has been transformed into a landscaped esplanade of restaurants, shops and food stalls. The city can also boast an internationally renowned museum and a bustling Sunday market that is one of the best in Sarawak.
