Bukit Lima Nature Reserve — Attraction in Sarawak

Beware - any critical pictures on this place will be deleted automatically. Any photos shown here are not reflecting the reality. The forest reserve was opened in 2010 to the public. You can access it only by car. There are no bus services to this place. At first sight upon arrival, the car park was dirty. There was a sign indicating where to go. After 10 minutes walk, we realised that this is not even a tertiary forest, but more a tropical bush with some plants and maximum five trees. This place is located on Borneo, one of the most beautiful places in the world. Instead, this isn't any real tropical forest and all trees were cleared to be sold! What a shame! There were no animals, birds and wildlife!! All gone! What a big shame! The walkways need urgent repair. The watch tower is not accessible. Most people came here for jogging, but the place is really dirty. Sibu is a town with the most millionaires in Malaysia. However, the town development is really bad. What a shame! There are no walkways downtown and everyone drives car to get around. Most vehicles are the latest models from Toyota, BMW and Proton. But the Sibu town has not improved since 2000, but become worst, as poor as an...

Absolutely wonderful piece of fairly well preserved lowland peat forest. Very extensive boardwalks get you deep inside. Unfortunately, most fauna has seems to have been killed off or poisoned by pesticides (as in most of Sarawak, sadly).

I would suggest that Sarawak Forestry bans the very annoying joggers from this park. First, this is a NATURE park, NOT a RECREATION park - there are plenty of those in Sibu. Second, the joggers are rapidly destroying the already decayed boardwalks. Finally, they disturb the few remaining birds and animals with their pounding (and, the most inconsiderate ones, with blasting their music/radio/phone speakers!).

This is no place for jogging - take note, Sarawak Forestry, and ban jogging/exercise in this nature park...

Peat swamp reserve area in the middle of Sibu township, free entry. First visit for birding and walk about 2 hours along the trail. Weather is cloudy and fine rain, advise to bring a bottle of water and light snack if wish to explore the area. Wear a pair of good trekking shoes with good grid as the trail 👣 some path will be slippery during raining day. Signage in the park can be improve by adding more clear exit and location map within the park. Overall worth a visit for nature lover during your...
