Omar Ali Saifuddien Mosque

one of the best looking mosques you can find in Southeast Asia. It has an amazing gold dome.

Royal Regalia Museum

It is a great place to go when the sun is out or it suddenly rains hard outside, but the air conditioning is very strong, so you need to keep warm! It is best to go in with a guide to fully understand the history of Brunei. I usually don't like visiting museums because I always find it boring to stay in such places. Since there is not much to do in Bandar Seri Begawan, I had to visit this museum and was pleasantly surprised. It was so interesting! It was very beautiful inside! The staff was helpful and spoke fluent English, so the communication was very smooth. We walked around the whole museum and saw all the gifts presented to the King of Brunei by other countries and were deeply fascinated by them. Each gift was unique and fully reflected the style of their respective countries. The best thing about this museum is that at the end of the tour, you can see a small gift shop with a variety of souvenirs that are cheap and worth buying. We were very happy to visit this museum. Highly recommended!

Kampong Ayer

A must-see place in Bandar Seri Begawan.Traditional Malays water village.

The third mangrove trip on this trip was still rejoicing. From the village of Alshui, you can look at the palace from a distance, and you can see alligators along the way, as well as two families of long-nosed monkeys, the line between fresh water and sea water is clearly visible. Special thanks to the tour guide Ms. Zheng for her careful explanation and understanding of many local customs.

Istana Nurul Iman

The palace is usually not open, just look outside when you go. The emblem of Brunei on the big iron gate at the door is beautiful. The wide lawn inside, the flowers are in full bloom, and the palace is magnificent. Guards are strictly guarded. There is no public transportation around, and traffic needs to be considered in advance.

You don't know Brunei cold knowledge, super full travel guide Brunei this niche country, I believe many people know Brunei through Wu Zun, this is located in the green heart of Borneo, the north of Kalimantan Island, it is worth your visit. The following are some travel guides, share with you, suggest collection. [Visa] Implement landing visas in China, SGD 20 or Wen coins, buy round-trip air tickets and book a hotel, there are very few people entering, basically no need to queue, you can fly directly over. [Network] You can buy a local card or buy a billion-point connection. I use a billion-point connection. You can use the card. Which country to go to, you can recharge the traffic. It is too convenient. [Accommodation] There are not many good hotels in Brunei. The best is the Empire Hotel. At the beach, at least 1800 a night. I live in the Radisson Hotel, the hotel is old, located in the city center, it is more convenient to go anywhere. [Currency] The new currency is universal, the exchange rate is the same, there are some shops that can brush Alipay, most of them can brush the visa card. [Transportation] Brunei families have an average of 3 cars, so Brunei public transportation is basically 0. There are only 8 bus lines, 72 buses, 83 taxis in the country. The bus runs every hour, and sometimes no one will cancel it. Therefore, it will be more convenient to rent a car on the ground, and you can have a translation of your driver's license. Or take a taxi with dart, wait for a long time, you can basically get it. [Recommended punch card] 1️⃣ Sudan Memorial Hall: The world's largest private accommodation, in order to cooperate with the 25th anniversary of the accession of the Sudan, the collection of Brunei historical monuments and relics as well as the items of the king and queen. Tickets are 5 yuan, slippers are required to visit, you can't shoot with a camera, you can only use a mobile phone. 2️⃣ Al Water Village: Brunei's water village has a long history. It costs about 10 yuan per person to visit by boat. You can bargain. The sunset is beautiful. 3️⃣ Patong Night Market: The only night market in Sribaga Bay, mainly some local barbecues, basically locals, the barbecue taste is particularly heavy, You can try the local specialties - roast chicken butt 4️⃣ Jamie Mosque: Brunei's largest and most luxurious mosque, 29 gold-built domes are very stylish, known as the King's Mosque 5️⃣ Omar Mosque: Water Mosque, white appearance plus gold domes, special film 6️⃣Bake Culture at dusk: Wu Zun Bakery, for Wu Zun, in fact, bread is average, the second floor is coffee 7️⃣ Empire Hotel: you can go to check in, just by the sea, the hotel is very large, there are many punching points for filming, the sunset is not bad. Share some cold knowledge of Brunei: ✅ Brunei is very small, sandwiched between Sarawak and Sabah, Malaysia, the land area is very small, the capital Sribaga Bay City ✅ Brunei does not sell tobacco and alcohol, no bars, KTV, no nightclubs ✅ Brunei water is more expensive than oil, specialty oil, A liter of oil is about 2 yuan, a bottle of mineral water is 5 yuan cheaper, Brunei public transportation is not developed, each family has an average of three cars, taxis are very expensive.

Yayasan Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah Complex

Yayasan SHHB Complex, The square is located next to the Omar Ali Saifuddin Mosque. It is a large square where you can eat, drink and play together. It is similar to the domestic Wanda (of course, I think there is still a lot of distance from Wanda). The most interesting thing is not what is sold inside. But the architectural style here. The two main buildings are on both sides of the square, the blue sky and white clouds, and the water family on the south of the Golden Ding Mosque in the north. Even if the sun is hot, there will be a few blockbusters! ! !

Teng Yun Temple

It is a Chinese temple near the morning market. However, it looks like a Korean temple. I can’t put it in because it’s a time zone issue. As I walked along that river toward the main market of town, I saw the facade of this not-so-large Chinese temple, apparently built in 1960. For centuries Brunei was mainly a merchant. Although most people worked here after discovering oil in the 1920s, it was in the British era. Now they make up about 10 of the population and are the largest minority in the country.
