  |   | TourismBrunei Darussalam's vision is to promote the country as a unique tourist destination and gateway to tourism excellence in South East Asia. The objectives are to create international awareness of Brunei Darussalam as a holiday destination; to maximise earings of foreign exchange and make tourism as one of the main contributor to GDP. In addition, it will create employment opportunities. The country offers a wide variety of attractive places to be visited and experienced. The rainforest and National Parks are rich in flora and fauna. Its most magnificent mosques, water village (traditional and historic houses on stilts), rich culture and Jerudong Theme Park are among the uniqueness of Brunei Darussalam. The government is now actively promoting tourism as an important part of its economic diversification. It would like to see a target of 1 million-visitor arrival by the year 2000. From January to August 1999, the statistic recorded 405,532 visitors visited Brunei Darussalam. TOURIST ATTRACTION Clean, neat modern but quiet and peaceful. The Abode of Peace lives up to its name as its tranquility is apparent, even to the casual visitor, yet it is current in infrastructure with wide roads, the latest cars and contemporary architecture. Brunei Darussalam has 161 km of pristine coastline, filled with palm-lined beaches and blue waters. No wonder it has been called the Pearl and Tropical Paradise of the East. Brunei also has vast tracts of virgin, uninhabited rainforest. This is mostly in the Temburong District. For this reason, Tern burong is known as the Green Jewel of Brunei. There are four districts in Brunei - Brunei-Muara, Tutong, Belait and Temburong The capital, Bandar Seri Begawan is located in Brunei-Muara, the smallest of the four districts. Around 60,000 people live in this capital, which remains remarkably quiet, even at the height of rush hour, save for the occasional minor traffic clog around schools at certain times. For the visitor, he or she will be awed by the excellent museums, resplendent mosques and scenic spots in the country. Most are located in and around the capital. Further out, tourist attractions tend to be more nature inclined with lakes, forested hills and seashores being the predominant features. Brunei-Muara District BANDAR SERI BEGAWAN AND BRUNEI/MUARA DISTRICT Kampong Ayer Kampong Ayer Stretching for several miles along the banks of the Brunei River, Kampong Ayer, Brunei's famed water village, is a fascinating glimpse into Brunei's past. Built entirely of stilt houses and wooden walkways, this cluster of 42 villages housing more than 30,000 inhabitants is the world's largest water village. Some people refer to it as the 'Venice of the East'. Kampong Ayer retains much of the historical features of the 16th century when Ferdinand Magellan's chronicler first discovered it. The traditional lifestyle of its inhabitants-fishermen, river traders (or padian as they are called in the Malay language) and artisans making and selling traditional handicrafts (silverware, brassware, woodcarving and cloth weaving) - has remained unchanged since then. Today Kampong Ayer is an almost self-sufficient community being equipped with modern facilities such as schools, shops, markets, mosques, clinics, police stations and fire brigades. All are connected by a maze of stilted platforms and walkways. Kampong Ayer is a national heritage and efforts are being made to preserve this lifestyle so that the legacy of the 'water' people of Brunei will be retained, not only as a tourist attraction, but also for the future generation of Brunei. Visitors can have a personal experience of this heritage by taking one of the many water taxis that ply daily between the water taxi jetty in front of the Yayasan Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah in the centre of town and the water village itself. Yayasan Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah The Yayasan Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah Foundation Complex is both a foundation initiated by His Majesty the Sultan to generate revenue for the welfare of the Bruneian people and an upmarket shopping centre. Opened in July 1996, Yayasan (as it is called in short) sports traditional Malay and modern architecture and is a prominent landmark in the heart of the capital. The paved open-air foyer decked with landscaping offers a splendid view of the magnificent Omar Ali Saifuddien Mosque at one end and Kampung Ayer at the other end. Framed by blue skies or the brilliance of the evening sun, this is where most people come to enjoy the view and a breath of fresh air. Inside, Hua Ho is the anchor tenant surrounded by innumerable shiny stores offering branded and non branded goods of all kinds, restaurants and cyber cafés. Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddien Mosque This is one of the most magnificent mosques in Southeast Asia. Built in 1958 as a symbol of the Sultanate's faith, the mosque which bears the name of the Sultan who built it, features resplendent marble and granite floors, stained glass and chandeliers from all over the world. Outside, the mosque is surrounded by a serene manmade lagoon where a 16th century mahligai or royal barge reposes. The view is especially captivating at night when the lights are on. The Mosque is open for visits in the day but visitors are asked to dress conservatively when entering the building. The Royal Regalia Museum Built to commemorate the 1992 Silver Jubilee of His Majesty's ascension to the throne, this ornate building with a distinctively gilded dome holds a veritable collection of precious ceremonial regalia. Priceless collections such as jewel-encrusted crowns, a royal chariot, gold and silver armoury, a replica throne and gifts that His Majesty has received plus a full documentation of the history of the Constitution of Brunei Darussalam are all exhibited here. The building, located at Jalan Sultan, tel: 2238-358/360, is open to the public everyday of the week except Fridays when opening hours are shorter. Visitors are advised to remove their shoes prior to entering the building.

Taman Tasek A forest reserve and recreational park in the middle of the city. Only in Brunei would an urbanite be able to commune with nature with just a 15-minute walk from the heart of the capital. Taman Tasek has a natural waterfall in the middle of a lush forest. Brunei Shell, as part of their community work, has also installed an eight-metre high wall for those interested in climbing. Lapau and Dewan Majlis Another magnificent building is the Royal Ceremonial Hall or Lapau where His Majesty the Sultan was crowned in 1968.Traditional royal ceremonies are often held here. Another splendid building is the Dewan Majlis or Parliament House which is adjoined to the Lapau. Tamu Kianggeh The Kianggeh Tamu is also known to the locals as the Amah's Market, and for good reason. Everyday, before the crack of dawn, this community market situated on the banks of the Kianggeh River opposite the Chinese Temple, is filled with all sorts of local fresh fruits, vegetables, flowers and handicraft - just the kind of things an amah would want to pick up for the kitchen. Most of the produce sold here would be finished by early evening. The Arts and Handicraft Training Centre This centre, which also holds classes for those interested in a career making handicraft, displays brocades called 'jong sarat, hand-woven baskets, silverware, brassware, woodcarvings and snake-like daggers called 'keris'. The Brunei Arts and Handicraft Training Centre is located at Jalan Residency, Bandar Seri Begawan, Tel: 2240676/391/399 The Art Gallery The Art Gallery, located next to the Arts and Handicraft Training Centre at Jalan Residency, tel: 2223-205/2222741 provides the services of promoting and educating the public about art.

Displaying three dimensional mock-ups of boat making, house-building, metalworking and gold smiting, the exhibits serve to provide an insight into the past lifestyle of the Brunei Malays. The Mausoleum of Sultan Bolkiah One of Brunei's greatest Sultans was the fifth Sultan of Brunei known as Sultan Bolkiah or Nakhoda Ragam which means 'captain of great manner and activity'. It was under his rule that Brunei's sovereignty extended over the whole of the coastal kingdom of Borneo and the islands of the Philippines. His tomb, which lies within a mausoleum at a quiet alcove of greenery off Jalan Kota Batu, commemorates that golden age of the nation. The House of Twelve Roofs This quaint piece of British architecture - once the home of the British Resident when the British Residential System was introduced in Brunei in1906- has exhibits that examine the long relationship between Brunei and the United Kingdom since the 19th century. Between 1905 and 1906, an agreement was signed between the two countries for the establishment of a British Resident in Brunei, the stabilising factor in this country at a time when Brunei was vulnerable. In 1906, Malcolm McArthur became the first British Resident. Today, the building shows historical photographs of the lives of individuals and those involving the state politically, economically and socially. Regarded as one of the oldest surviving buildings in Brunei, The House of Twelve Roofs is situated on Jalan Residency, tel: 2244-545/2244-181. ' The Jame' Asr Hassanil Bolkiah Mosque Grand and opulent, with shimmering golden domes and intricately ornamental minarets set in a landscape of gardens and fountains, this mosque is arguably the most magnificent in Brunei today. The Jame' Asr Hassanil Bolkiah Mosque is also known as the Kiarong Mosque because of its location. The Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah Silver Jubilee Park and Recreation Area Built in 2002 in tribute to His Majesty the Sultan's 56th Birthday, this beautiful six-hectare-large Silver Jubilee Park and Recreation Area in Kampong Pusar Ulak, Mukim Kianggeh, is situated not far from the centre of town.

Luagan Lalak Recreational Park About 25km away lies the famous Luagan Lalak Recreational Park, a 270-hectare site of lush, green hills. An alluvial freshwater swamp fills up during the rainy season but dries up to become a valley of swishing sedges in the dry season. The effect is striking and most people admire the scene by strolling along the 200m walkway that meanders along the lake. The Wasai Wong Kadir The Wong Kadir Waterfall or wasai is what visitors will find at the end of a rather arduous uphill jungle trek. But the watery reward is worth every minute of the work out. SERIA AND KUALA BELAIT Seria is the oil town of Brunei. 'Nodding donkeys' (machines that pump up oil) are therefore a common sight. The Oil & Gas Discovery Centre (OGDC) An initiative of Brunei Shell Petroleum to uphold sustainable development efforts in the areas of tourism and education such as educating the public about science, technology and the environment, the Oil and Gas Discovery Centre (OGDC) - an imposing exhibition centre opened in September 2002 - is the latest attraction in Seria, to the world of science and engineering by providing fun education through the exploration of their seven galleries that showcase 150 exhibits covering the multi facets of science such as the development of hydrocarbons, the industrial aspects and technologies of hydrocarbon industries and the basic theories of science that surround our lifestyle. However, OGDC does not confine itself only to the science of oil and gas, it also has an outdoor setting for the physically active such as a giant chessboard, a skateboarding ring, jogging track and a walkway that leads to the Billionth Barrel Monument - another landmark in the oil town of Seria. Because of its educational and recreational facilities, OGDC has attracted a total of 28,656 visitors in its first year of opening.

TEMBURONG Batang Duri About 17km from Bangar, the main town of Temburong - the most forested district - is Batang Duri, an Iban settlement cum park with a longhouse (traditional extended family house) where shifting cultivation is still practiced. Batang Duri provides visitors with a rare insight into Iban culture and lifestyle. Taman Batang Duri This is a landscaped park with a mini zoo that houses civets, monkeys, otters, birds, honey bears, mongoose and crocodiles. Kuala Belalong Forest Reserve This forest reserve features 2,000 breath-taking steps that lead to the summit. It affords a panoramic view of the majestic mountains, the rushing river and the surrounding forestland below. Batu Apoi Forest Reserve & the Ulu Temburong National Park The Batu Apoi Forest Reserve is an endless spread of thick virgin jungle and inside lies 50,000 hectares of parkland that has seen very little human impact. Called the Ulu Temburong National Park, this tract features steep, swampy terrain and thick impenetrable jungle land. Because there are no roads that lead here, the only access is only by boat or' temuai'. A trail from the forest takes visitors to the Kuala Belalong Field Studies Centre, a research facility set up for the study of the abundant ecological treasures found in these parts. However, charting the difficult terrain to get there requires the help of a guide. This forest features a seven-kilometre walkway, tree houses about 30 meters high and hanging bridges intended for nature 66 observation of the surrounding mountains and the river and forest below. The Kuala Belalong Mini Park Situated at the Temburong Civic Centre Padang, this park which was opened in 1993, has a waterfall, a pond, a landscaped garden and huts similar to those in Kuala Belalong. However, these are not used for accommodation but for exhibiting pictures of His Majesty's Temburong visits and findings made at the Kuala Belalong Field Studies Centre. Peradayan Forest Recreation Park For an eco-tour that comprises caves and strange rock formations, this park would be the ideal place. Spreading over 1,070 hectares, it is declared as a conservation forest by the Forestry Department. The peaks of Bukit Patoi (310m) and Bukit Peradayan (410m) are contained.--Courtesy of Brunei Year Book Best Link Other Links . |
