  Surprisingly nice small museum about Belait.. (Aircon very strong, place is clean). Gallery no 1 about cultural is very informative.. It will be better if museum has small shop selling souvenirs or has special monthly activity for children or adult. Take note museum is closed on Thurs and Fri..

  It’s a nice small museum with several relics gathered across the district, with some traditional items (clothes and tribes).

  This was super cool to see. We probably shouldn’t have stopped in the middle of the street to take pictures, but I wanted to see it up close. Really cool, really neat. Honestly didn’t know it existed, but when I saw it I was amazed.

  Looks interesting. When I saw this for the first time, I was surprised to see it challenging the gravity. It is beautifully designed with nice garden maintained around it.

  A long time ago, it is said a nomad tried to drink out of the teapot. Frustrated, he bangs on the tea pot amd losses all hope. He rubs the teapot out of despair when suddenly a black spectre-like creature came out of the pot. The legends starts from there
