If there's one place that defines Kuching, it's the Waterfront. Locals walk here almost every evening — joggers, families, couples, dog walkers, everyone. It's not just a tourist spot, it's where the city comes alive. Opened in 1993 and stretching nearly 2km along the Sarawak River, the Kuching Waterfront is the first waterfront promenade ever built in Malaysia. It underwent a major upgrade from 2017-2019 with LED lighting and better walkways, and more renovations were announced in 2025.

At sunset, the whole scene turns golden.

"One of the best waterfronts in Southeast Asia," wrote one TripAdvisor reviewer. Another said "beautiful at night, great for evening walks."

老实说，古晋人最常去的地方，不是什么网红cafe，也不是Shopping Mall — 而是河滨公园 每天傍晚这里都超多人：跑步的、遛狗的、拍拖的、一家大小散步的… 几乎每个古晋人手机里都有一张河滨公园的照片。 如果你问古晋有什么必去的地方，我第一个推荐的就是这里。 [image: 1781056982336-02_kuching_waterfront_panorama.jpg] 来源：Wikimedia Commons - Panorama view 从Kuching Waterfront看对岸，左手边是The Astana（白拉惹的宫殿），右手边是DUN（州议会大厦），中间那座S桥是Darul Hana Bridge。傍晚时分站在这里看日落，吹着河风，真的很舒服。 [image: 1781056983557-04_kuching_waterfront_promenade-resized.jpg] 来源：Wikimedia Commons - Waterfront promenade 河滨公园是在1993年开幕的，全长接近2公里。2017到2019年翻新过一次，加了LED灯和新的走道，现在晚上走起来很有 feel。2025年还宣布了进一步升级计划，会越来越美。 其实这里不只是一个散步的地方。Google Maps上评分4.5，很多游客都说「比想象中漂亮」、「晚上更美」。TripAdvisor上的review也都是好评居多。 [image: 1781056981757-01_kuching_waterfront_night-resized.jpg] 来源：Wikimedia Commons - Night view 讲真，这里最精彩的时间是傍晚5点半到7点。太阳下山的时候，整个天空变成金黄色，对面DUN的灯光亮起来，河水泛着光… 很多人就在这里坐着发呆半小时。 游客的留言： "One of the best waterfronts I've been to in Southeast Asia" "Calming, great for walking, lots of food stalls nearby" "晚上来这里吹风超级舒服，比白天还美" [image: 1781056982809-03_kuching_sarawak_river_sunset-resized.jpg] 来源：Wikimedia Commons - Sunset cruise view 还可以搭Sampan（小木船）过对面岸，一趟才RM1-2。或者搭Sunset Cruise看河景，大概RM30-50一个人，包饮料那种。 实用资讯： 地址：Jalan Tunku Abdul Rahman, Kuching（靠近Main Bazaar） 开放时间：全天24小时，免费入场 Best time：傍晚5pm - 7pm（看日落） ️ 附近有停车场（Main Bazaar路边或Hilton后面） ️ Sampan过河：RM1-2/人 建议走全程：从Hilton一路走到Darul Hana Bridge再折返 [image: 1781056984562-04_kuching_waterfront_promenade2-resized.jpg] 来源：Wikimedia Commons - Along the promenade 你多久去一次河滨公园？还是说你也像很多人一样，每次朋友来古晋都带他们来这里打卡？留言分享你的看法
