Kuching is slowly becoming a shopping heaven with many shopping malls popping up. Due to the significant growth of shopping malls, and the fact that most of these malls are located in different locations, I think there’s a need to list down the top best malls which one can find in the city so that tourist especially can plan their journey when coming to Kuching.
That said here’s the list of the best shopping malls in Kuching, listed from number 10. The list is based on my observations.
