Known as “The Cat City,” Kuching, Malaysia, is a sprawling, yet charming, British Colonial/Chinese/Malay town. The city has no more cats than other cities of its size, but the name translates to “City of the Cat,” and indeed, there is a cat museum and cat statues. About 40 minutes by bus from the city center is an extremely well-done cultural village billed as a “living museum.” Sarawak Cultural Village is a 17-acre estate featuring traditional houses and cultural exhibits and shows. Among the favorites: the Penan Hut, where visitors get to try “blowpipe shooting.”
