Taman Sahabat, Kuching, Sarawak, Malaysia

Taman Sahabat is a beautiful garden area in Kuching, Sarawak, Malaysia. It literally translates as "friendly garden" and was created to highlight the partnership between Malaysia and China.

The park shows a relationship between Kuching city and China's Kunming city. We went there at night time and it looked very inviting and was warmly illuminated. Here are some pictures:




These stone tablets depicting each of the states that make up Malaysia were very interesting and beautifully done:








This is a statue of Zheng He who lived in the 14th-15th centuries. Apparently he made many voyages, including to Malaysia.


Chinese-inspired structure

  1. Too bad we didn't walk all the way to the Chinese-inspired building. Lauren was too tired!

  4. Fidelia, there were many things we would have liked to do. Perhaps we'll do that on a future visit.

    Traveling Hawk, thank you, and I'd like to visit those gardens in the daytime too!

    Lotta, thanks for your visit. I don't know the name of those flowers, but they are everywhere here in Kuantan.
