What to See & Do in Miri? 

Miri is a city rich in history, especially with the discovery of oil in 1910. Oil wells were quickly drilled and the sleepy town quickly started to prosper, attracting petroleum companies to set up base there. The town has a special mention in wartime history as it was the first place the Japanese army set foot in Borneo during WW2. In retaliation, the Allied army bombed the Japanese occupied town repeatedly, resulting in major destruction of the oil wells and refineries. 

Miri is a very prosperous city at present and hosts many cultural and heritage attractions. As the foundation of its growth rests on petroleum, a visit to the Petroleum Museum at Bukit Tenaga is a must to understand the commodity instrumental in the city’s prosperity. Along with a visit to the museum, a visit to the Grand Old Lady is a must. This monument marks the site of the very first drilled oil well in 1910. 

The Hua San Ching Tien Temple and Tua Pek Kong Temple are 2 places of worship worth a visit to Miri. The Lian Hua San Ching Tien Temple is believed to be the largest Taoist temple in Southeast Asia. Both temples are adorned with intricately carved statues of dragons and other mythological creatures.
