Recreation@Kuching.

Tasik Biru or Bau lake,formely a gold mine.
Normally,there will be many people fishing,swiming and playing in the lake but not to-day and the rest of the day as water is contaminated with poisonous chemical called ARSENIC.
Tasik Biru is located at the out skirts of the old Bau Town.The lake is a fovouite spot fo the locals to pass their leisure time during public holiday and weekend.
Welcome to the cave but don't forget your gear such as torch light etc etc....
for senior like me just relax here..
One of the cave enterance.
Kids are playing and swiming...hopefully no bujang senang around.
I am not very good in words,so I try to capture the beauty of wind cave throug my lens(See above).The Wind Cave or Gua Angin located just north of Bau town some 48 kilometer from Kuching.The wind cave lay majestically along the same range of lime stone hilly range in the Serikin District.The cave is partly covered amidst the tropical rainforest along the slopes of the scenc limestone hill.

This is Fairy Caves.For rock climber this are the caves.


Rock Climbing:"The Batman Wall",a climbing wall located at the Fairy Caves ear Bau,offer a series of challenging rock climbs and abseiling routes.The wall is named after a huge roof section hat rock climber can opt to traverse before they continue up the main climbing wall.


On my way to Fairy cave I can see local are selling the exotic plants which may be some are protected plants.
This are the most popular stick in town.Kayu hujan panas and Tongkat Ali.



Before I proceed to Fairy and Wind cave why not drop by Sarikin Border Market.The Bidayuh village of Serikin,just over an hour drive from Kuching,hold a bustling weekend market were Indonesian traders cross over the border to sell their wares at bargain prices.To see more picture you can visit my http://uncleawang.multiply.com/
Fresh exotic fruits on sale in Serikin.
I thought the head hunter still exist here......




The landmark of Bau"The Civic Centre"this building wad built in 1988 .The modern baruk or head-house of he civic centre reflects the cultural heritage of the Bidayuh in the district.
Another landmark of Bau to welcome her visitors.
The history of Bau Town.
Early 19th century when hundred of Chinese miners come from Kalimantan Barat,Indonesia to mine gold at Bau lama(old Bau) and 1898 the Borneo Company operated gold mining pit known as Tai Parit mine and this is how Tasik Biru was formed.





This is Bau......about 60km from Kuching.There are some interesting caves around Bau.
One and only traffic light in Bau town.Most people stop at Bau for lunch after shopping in Serikin Border Market.So Sarawak is more than just a great tourist destination,bring your family and capture that special Sarawak style.







Now what we have here in Bau Town, Airport ? Oh I see ...it"s only the name of the old road that link to the lake...... Have a nice day.
