Launching on 14-Oct 2018, still new attractive place to visit. Sitting beside river front, sharp at 10.30pm start showing us the fountain with main 3 element: music, water and lighting.Started with the traditional sarawak musical song and drama, follow by water and colourful lighting. Most important is free. Nighttime have a place for sightseeing at the middle of town.

Kuching Waterfront esplanade located just opposite the Main Bazaar Street or for those not from Kuching it is just beside The Imperial Riverbank Hotel. You won’t missed it on the path where Gloria Jean’s Cafe stands. Those visiting Kuching, this is a MUST visit especially from evening onward. I will share my personal experience with you, the crowd started to build up as it gets dark into the evening. I was there on weekend, strolling along the riverbank straight on 2 evenings while staying at the Imperial Riverbank hotel. It is definitely a happening place to be and suitable for all people, be it a couple looking for a romantic backdrop, family bringing their children, elderly people sitting on the riverbank bench watching life passing by and tourists. This Sarawak river will tailor your mood for an enjoyable, relaxing & to forget your worries.... What you will see and participate :- 1. Riverboat ferry diners for a relaxing dining night out on a river cruise or simply let the river create your relaxation moods, cost around RM60+ 2. Or on a more like “AirAsia “ budget type, you can get a sampan boat ride on the river, price under RM20 per trip. 3. Then of course there is a sampan transportation to get you cross the other side of the riverbank. 4. Restaurants, there are the mak chik styles of cooking with plastic tables & chair along the path of this esplanade. Dishes are reasonably price and sedap too. Then there are the upper class dining choices, James Brooke restaurant & café surrounded by the park garden. Or the Gloria Jean’s Cafe with a river view on the top floor, for cakes, pies & coffee. 5. As you stroll along the riverfront, you will see stalls selling Sarawak souvenirs, cake lapis, lekor stall ( lekor stall was swamped with customers waiting for their orders, when I was there.... must be delicious ). 6. Street busking.... yes, you will see local singers performing, some in native Sarawak costume and some with bands too. Then you will see people dressing up in teddy bear outfit, Transformer characters performing generating happy mood . 7. THIS IS THE HIGHLIGHT – colourful water fountain show, jetting water up in the sky hundreds of feet above, with catchy songs to make the water fountain shows come alive using the Sarawak Legislative Assembly beautiful building as the backdrop.... awesome, you MUST not miss it. Do check out the timetable for this performance during the night, the show is on a schedule time. 8. You can walk across to the DUN & Fort Astana using the Darul Hana bridge. 9. Yes, there is a Tua Pek Kong Temple across the road where James Brooke's restaurant & cafe is. You won't miss it . There are plenty to do and pass your time in a memorable way..... don’t forget to take as many photos as possible so that when you get back home you can look at them longer..... Enjoy and have a wonderful time like I did...

I would tell you not to expect much from this little park. Although it's not totally quiet, you will definitely feel lighter and calmer as soon as you've completed your walk in this park. There is a Chinese restaurant with a traditional touch to its design, and somewhat sits on the lake. I bought some fish food to feed the fishes in the lake. One pack of food was sold for only 2 ringgits.
