At the foot of Mount Santubong, the Sarawak Cultural Village gathers the state's many peoples into one rainforest cove: an Iban longhouse, a soaring Melanau tall-house, Bidayuh, Orang Ulu, Penan, Malay and Chinese dwellings arranged around a lake, each kept alive by members of the community it represents — weaving, carving, cooking and telling stories.
Twice a day the theatre erupts into a whirl of sape music and hornbill dance, and every July the village becomes the stage for the world-famous Rainforest World Music Festival.
