We were once under the British rule. They left somethings behind. Worth going and see the view of the river and city from village side.
Iconic building, but you have to cross the river and walk for a short distance to reach here. Also good to know more about the history of Brooke govern in Sarawak.
Do visit in the evening for visiting Fort Magherita and spend your time at the waterfront for an unbelievable sight of the sunset. There is a botanical garden nearby, so laced up your best walking shoes to discover the area
