Miri is known as Sarawak’s second city. It is a thriving oil town that is busy and modern. The food here is good, and there are plenty of things to do. Miri is a coastal city that is in northeastern Sarawak, Malaysia located near the boarder of Brunei. There are these places in Miri that I could recommend to you go. Here’s some of the recommendations.
1. The Grand Old Lady
The Grang Old Lady is located at Canada Hill. Canada Hill is also known as Bukit Telaga Minyak by the locals and it is popular for its first oil well drilled – The Grand Old Lady. The Grand Old Lady is Miri’s first drilled oil and it is one of Miri’s many main places of interest. Petroleum Museum is located just right next to The Grand Old Lady.
