    Venue for Rainforest Music Festival
    Located 35km from Kuching city center.
    Entrance fee for non-Sarawakians is RM85 while fee for Sarawakians is RM30.
    Highlight is the cultural show featuring traditional dancers. Make sure you don't miss it!

    It's interesting to see the native longhouse replicas.

    Iban longhouse - Most common type of longhouse that exist today in interior Sarawak.

    Bidayuh barok - Large round hut with a central fireplace. My favorite type of longhouse.

    Orang Ulu longhouse - Longhouse on tall stilts.

    Melanau tall house - This house is even taller than the Orang Ulu longhouse. Gigantic house sitting on tree trunks. Marvellous piece of engineering.

    Penan hut - Small house.

    Come in the morning as it tends to rain during evenings in Kuching.

    Getting there
    For me, getting to the longhouse was the best part. Myself and a fellow traveller hired a driver/guide to do a day tour including Semenggoh Nature Reserve and two long houses. Annah Rais was interesting to see, people seemed friendly considering the volume of tourists they must normally see (tourism way down because of COVID, few weeks before lockdown). The drive to Annah Rais was beautiful, the highlight of the day. We made many stops to explore and take photos along the way.

    Impressive Building
    Although relatively small and surrounded on three sides by roads this is a very colourful Chinese/Taoist temple nearby to the James Brooke restaurant. Still very much used by the local community as shown by the amount of incense sticks burning when we visited. Some very ornate carvings on the roof and also inside the building, worthy of a short visit.
