45 minutes from Kuching lies the Sarawak Cultural Village portraying the state's rich cultural diversity in one single place. The village is built at the foot of the legendary Mount Santubong. There are seven ethnic houses, ranging from the Bidayuh round huts, Iban longhouse to the house on stilts of the Melanaus. The center offers an insight into traditional past time such as tattooing, blow-pipe making, weaving of the "pua kumbu" and top spinning. Traditional dances are also a common sight of this village.
