Kuching scored 5th place ahead of some major cities in Malaysia such as UNESCO’s historical city Georgetown in Penang, and Selangor’s Petaling Jaya whom both were placed seventh and tenth respectively in TripAdvisor’s Top 10 Destinations in Malaysia for 2012.
The list was compiled according to votes by the website users which are world wide.
A brief description on Kuching was also included as seen below:
Kuching is a fine choice for an enriching holiday that’s as packed with learning as it is leisure. Its many museums and impressive planetarium will enthrall even the tiniest travellers, and a quick climb to the top of the Kuching Civic Centre will reward you with jaw-dropping 360-degree views. Grab a snack from a stall on the bustling waterfront, and don’t miss the absolutely massive Sunday market, which is an electric experience for shoppers, vendors, and observers.
Kuching however failed to beat some more prominent destinations in Malaysia such as Langkawi (1st) , Kuala Lumpur (2nd), Kota Kinabalu (3rd) and Melaka (4th).
