"Marudi is a town on the Baram River which north of Sarawak. The Baram river borders the state of Sabah Malaysia and Brunei. Marudi is a river town situated inland from Miri. Its main attraction is yet another of the Brooke outposts, the beige wooden Fort Hose. It is the cultural heart of Sarawak's highland tribesfolk, collectively called Orang Ulu. Marudi, a riverine town about 100 km upriver from Kuala Baram, is the largest town in the sparsely populated Baram district. It is also the district administrative headquarters and has been since the days of the White Rajahs. Marudi is well known tourist destination because of the Mulu cave. For the adventuruos they can travel from Miri to Marudi first, and then from the river, they will have to use long boats cutting through few adventurous rapids upstream before reaching Mulu".
During my week free i got an opportunity to go and to my assignment in a small neighboring town called Marudi. It is a two hours drive from Miri. After having visited this small place i noticed that its contains lots of historical monuments so if you are a person who likes adventure and learning about lots of ethnic tribes and their history it could be counted as one of those places to go. This temple is about 100 years old and it was built by the first six Chinese family's in Marudi. close by the temple there is also a museum where you can go and read about this place. There are three ways which you can visit Marudi which are by flying, boat and by road. The road is not really smooth as it is packed with rough terrain. When i was there i also learnt that from ther you can drive to Mulu caves so which means if you are a unadventurous s you can drive there through Marudi.
