I believe that some people might know Niah caves from friends, newspaper or school text book(history) but never come to there. In here, i got a chance to introduce all about Niah caves.<b> </b> I believe that it is certainly one of the most important and unusual attractions to visitors.<br />

The cave is an important prehistorical site where human remains dating to 40,000 years have been found.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-Barton_2-1"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niah_Caves#cite_note-Barton-2"><span></span><span></span></a></sup> This is the oldest recorded human settlement in east Malaysia.More recent studies published in 2006 have shown evidence of the first human activity at the Niah caves from ca. 46,000 to ca. 34,000 years ago<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-3"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niah_Caves#cite_note-3"><span></span><span></span></a></sup> Painted Cave, situated in a much smaller limestone block of its own, some 150 meters from the Great Cave block's south eastern tip, has rock paintings dated as 1,200 years old. The caves are also well known for the bird nest (Swiftlet) industry. It is a popular tourist destination in Sarawak.<br />

There got some items that can be found at Niah Caves. For example Pleistocene chopping tools and flakes, Neolithic axes, adzes, pottery, shell jewellery, boats, mats, then iron tools and ceramics. But, the most famous item can be found in the cave is the human skull dated at around 38,000 years BCE.<span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10pt;"></span>Fang Tinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10201492330905772619noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6652024898392252894.post-29782745119833932172010-12-26T04:29:00.000-08:002010-12-26T04:35:53.733-08:00Annah Rais Longhouse<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjde72YRSOdpikOk2S1tH6OF0Q4YI38qy3X0qczEB-A5xdeXuow-dqio1ug-ZM-_KMvESRXzixQUnagoGVFiZnTIxN-uF2Z5J4QJQ1cdEOCxgdxb8Iz2AbtukH3FD6it_KiJrF7NMYI8qiU/s1600/images21.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjde72YRSOdpikOk2S1tH6OF0Q4YI38qy3X0qczEB-A5xdeXuow-dqio1ug-ZM-_KMvESRXzixQUnagoGVFiZnTIxN-uF2Z5J4QJQ1cdEOCxgdxb8Iz2AbtukH3FD6it_KiJrF7NMYI8qiU/s1600/images21.jpg" /></a></div>Today, i will like to talk about the Annah Rais Longhouse. Annah Rais Longhouse is a Bidayuh longhouse that located at Padawan District(the outside of Kuching), approximately 60km away from Kuching city. From Kuching city go to Annah Rais Longhouse will take around one and half hour drive. Although the journey take very long time to arrived but visitors will not feel bored because they will be amazed by the scenic countryside view. Like the beautiful mountain range, limestone hill, paddy field, palm oil plantation and.......<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipz6jl0L0SvbnSGUJSegi5dWcTGh35oVZ2rlENXfbHj674EZz8GuVYVmvAeTLDEwiuvFJ_eigo0hecEnUMELm5oAbSQg0YVEj07df5pYT0qZ8W-_cH6aZxmftfqqQ7ibfbiBJSmcxl_m9c/s1600/images22.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="149" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipz6jl0L0SvbnSGUJSegi5dWcTGh35oVZ2rlENXfbHj674EZz8GuVYVmvAeTLDEwiuvFJ_eigo0hecEnUMELm5oAbSQg0YVEj07df5pYT0qZ8W-_cH6aZxmftfqqQ7ibfbiBJSmcxl_m9c/s200/images22.jpg" width="200" /></a>Before entering the longhouse, visitors will like to pay for entrance fee to entrance. The entrance fee is <span style="color: red;">RM8 per person for adult</span> and <span style="color: lime;">RM5 per person for children</span>. This collected by the village's committee as community fund that will be used to maintain the Annah Rais Longhouse original structure and perserve the Bidayuh's cultures. Visitors are advice arrived early because the activities will start from 10am. Besides, you will found the second longhouse that called Mr Edward Gunui at door no.71 inside the Annah Rais Longhouse.<br />
<br />
In additions, I will like to suggest some transport to go to there. After doing some research, I found that taxi is the only public transport to go to there.This is because, Annah Rais Longhouse is so remote and not many local people will travel to there. So, no bus services serving to there. The only public transport available for visitor is Taxi. Genarally, the local taxi will charge RM90 to RM110 for 1 way transfer from Kuching city to Annah Rais Longhouse. Besides, the other way go to there is rent car. The normal price is RM70 by small private car Perodua kancil, maximum 3 adult; or by 10-seater van at RM120.<br />

During the trip at longhouse ,visitors, specifically visitors from oversea, they will know about the traditional way to live. Like way to cook, way to hunt and culture. As we know that, different culture has different custom. I believe that the knowledge that learn from this trip, actually can't found from text book or learn from school.Fang Tinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10201492330905772619noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6652024898392252894.post-36217160043893210162010-12-12T20:11:00.000-08:002010-12-12T20:11:55.194-08:00H-O-M=E<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWxT7H8AABMXE1Z7smQCtmxP9Gt51BfL4pEC2PlJ1h_wyY3q_MLH99MMaxW92t7MzFADV0O2lGvURJarAINBi4LpoxUoqS5C5vb684_IQvBRo_YST64s11c2hbYvcE-sxJebE8F2py-1a0/s1600/images1.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWxT7H8AABMXE1Z7smQCtmxP9Gt51BfL4pEC2PlJ1h_wyY3q_MLH99MMaxW92t7MzFADV0O2lGvURJarAINBi4LpoxUoqS5C5vb684_IQvBRo_YST64s11c2hbYvcE-sxJebE8F2py-1a0/s1600/images1.jpeg" /></a></div><br />

<li><small><span style="font-family: Verdana;">The Court House was built in 1874 to bring together all government offices and be the venue for all state ceremonies. State council meetings were held here from the fifth council meeting in 1878 until 1973. Befitting its status, this is an impressive building with belian (iron wood) roof and is decorated with beautiful engravings reflecting local art form. It now houses the High Court, the Magistrate's Court and several government departments. Back in 1847, this was originally the site of a missionary which was turned into a judicial administration office. It was demolised in 1858 and two more buildings were put up in its place before the Court House came into being.</span></small></li>

The second Rajah, Charles Brooke, built this palace in 1870 as a bridal gift for his wife, the Ranee Margaret. Then known as the Government House, it is actually three separate buildings fused into one, with each connected to the other by short and narrow passageways. First occupied by Charles Brooke in 1870, it was the private residence of the second Rajah. It has undergone substantial alterations and renovations and is today the official residence of the Yang di-Pertua Negeri, the Governor of Sarawak. </span></small></li>

Named after the second Rajah, Charles Brooke's wife, the Ranee Margaret, it was built in the defensive edifice/castle style of the late English renaissance. Fort Margherita has been converted into a Police Museum and many of its old cannons, cannon balls, guns, pistols, swords and other vestiges of its artillery can still be seen. The armoury still exists as does the condemned prisoner's cell. The Police Museum has a display of old police weapons, reconstructed opium dens and scenes of hanging and other forms of criminal punishment</span></small></li>

<li><small><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Constructed in 1886, the reason for the building of the Round Tower remains a mystery. Because of its structure, it is claimed the building was meant to serve as a fort in an emergency. Instead it became the Dispensary and was then used by the Labour Department until 1980. It now houses a section of the Judicary department. In earlier days, the Round Tower was strategically located to provide an excellent view of the town.</span></small></li>

<li> <small><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Originally built in 1891 to house and display arts and crafts of the indigenous people of Borneo, the Sarawak Museum has gained a reputation for having the single most comprehensive collection of Borneon artefacts to be found anywhere. After extensive extensions, the Sarawak Museum now straddles both sides of Jalan Tun Abang Haji Openg, with both buildings connected by an overhead pedestrian bridge. The original 1891 building was designed in style of a Normandy town-house and was extended to its present structure in 1911. The new wing, just across the road, was built in the 1970s and has a reconstruction of life in the prehistoric Niah Caves. </span></small></li>

Actually,this is the first time i come to selangor.So, i very happy can recognize them as my friends.I still remember my feeling when went to Bukit cahaya with them.That day ,i feel very excited because this is the first time that i went out with friends ,not for shopping.You cant imagine how excited i have.when reach there,i feel disappoint because the bicycle shop havent open!!!!So,we decided to walk until feeling tired.I think after walk 2 or 3km ,i feel tired and give up to continued walked.I ask my friend go back to the bicycle shop and wait until the shop open.Luckily, the bicycle shop open already.Of course, i cant miss the change to cycling.Finally,we have rent a bike for transportation. By the way, I am facing problems on cycling because i feel tired when cycling.It was so tiring while cycling up hills so I give up on some spot and carry up bike to the hills. Now,i want to apologize with my friends because of my selfish and my laziness . </span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;"><span style="color: #cccccc;">Although this is tiring trip,but i still feel happy.</span><span style="color: magenta;">Thank you,my friends.....</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: left;"></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #00b050; font-family: "Times","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="color: #00b050; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"></span></div>Fang Tinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10201492330905772619noreply@blogger.com0
