KAMPONG AYER
Kampong Ayer or Water Village, is home to some 30,000 people. Stretching for several miles along the banks of the Brunei River, Kampong Ayer is a fascinating glimpse of the traditional lifestyle that has remained unchanged for centuries, although today's inhabitants enjoy most modern comforts and the visitor can see satellite dishes and TV antennas adorning many roof tops.
THE ROYAL REGALIA BUILDING
Architecturally extraordinary, with its distinctive gold pattered dome, the Royal Regalia building was built in 1992 to commemorate the Silver Jubilee of His Majesty's accession to the throne. The building houses an equally extraordinary collection of priceless Royal Regalia, including jewel-encrusted crowns, a magnificent royal chariot and a replica throne. A separate exhibition documents the constitutional history of Brunei.
KIANGGEH OPEN MARKET (Tamu Kianggeh)
Tamu Kianggeh is situated on the banks of the River Kianggeh, opposite the Chinese Temple. Open daily from very early in the morning to late in the evening, a wide variety of local produce, flowers and handicrafts are on sale at the many stalls.
TASEK RECREATIONAL PARK (Taman Tasek)
Situated in the city area, only a 15 minutes walk from the Lapau, Taman Tasek with a natural waterfall and lake and abundant trees and flowers is a popular place to escape the hum drum of the city.
ULU TEMBURONG NATIONAL PARK
50,000 hectares of park located within the Batu Apoi Forest Reserve, Ulu Temburong is rich in biodiversity and given it's remoteness, human impact has been limited.. The forest-canopy walkway is a fascinating chance for scientists and visitors to examine the tree tops. Tree houses set 20 meters high are connected by hanging bridges which provide opportunities to view this tropical rain forest.
