VMY 2018 – Local Opinions
There are events from areas of Sibuti, Marudi and the nearby national parks of Niah, Lambir and Loagan Bunut.
Miri is also a fast-developing resort city that offers quite a lot of tourism, only that the place is not promoted heavily at the moment.

I have been an avid fan of Miri, having visited this resort city yearly since 2010 and have seen the changes since back then.
There are international world-class hotels and resorts, modern shopping malls, rich local heritage and culture and beautiful places to explore.

Just so you know, scuba diving in Miri is also one of the untouched tourism activities. Usually, adventure lovers tend to come here due to the three national parks in the area.
Another new place to explore for food is the all-new Container City Miri which is in the main city area. This is a pork-free lifestyle place and there are Halal food restaurants available here.

You can find services like Grab and Uber in Miri as taxis are not easy to get. Most visitors tend to book day tours from the various travel companies in Miri as travelling around requires a knowledgeable guide.
