Kampung Santubong 240206
Early in the morning, we drive to the coastal fishing village of Kampung Santubong, with the spectacular peak of Mt Santubong still wrapped in mountain clouds. Just 35km from Kuching, it started life as an important port way back before 10th century, to become capital of old Sarawak in the 15th century.
