My Hometown!

Hmm..Wonder what is Limbang? Is it something you can eat?

Well, Limbang is basically town in northern town in Sarawak, Malaysia.

It is not something you can eat, though it does sound like a good name for a fruit.

The town is peaceful and beautiful. It springs into life every Thursday and Friday when you have 'pasar tamu'.

Lots of tiny makeshift 'stalls' sprout all over the town.. ermm..ok.. probably 40% of the town.

The Sarawak natives come over to the town to sell their jungle products and fruit during these 2 days.. Sometimes you get to see plenty of interesting stuff like their traditional herbal medicine, exotic animals and etc.

Limbang is in Sarawak, East Malaysia (Borneo) in the small piece of country between the 2 halves of Brunei. It is a small town but growing at an incredible rate. For a small town in a rural country location it is remarkably modern.

The major ethnic groups are Malay/Kedayan, Chinese, Lun Bawang and Bisaya.

Logging, small holding agriculture, commercial plantation and commerce are the main economic activities here. Even though, Limbang has a small-based and sparsely scattered population,

the purchasing power remains relatively strong especially in Limbang town due to the vicinity of Brunei.

A bustling Malay water-village directly across river simply adds to the charm of the location.
Many of Limbang’s attractions are spread out around the town, and it is well worth booking a short tour.
There are some well kept Malay and Chinese traditional villages along Jln Pandaruan which offer excellent photo opportunities. Further along the road towards the Brunei Ferry are a number of Kedayan kampungs where delicious fresh swamp clamp are offered for sale.
In town, the Esplanade is a popular place for strolling in the evening with a memorial of the Limbang Rebellion as its focal point. There is a bustling Tamu or wet market is on the waterfront in the centre of town.
