Get captivated by by the beauty of Miri as it is a healthy balance of the city and greens. 

What can you find here in Miri? Well, first off, you can check out the Grand Old Lady and the Petroleum Museum which is located on top of Canada Hill. It is commonly known as Miri's No. 1 Oil Well which was Shell's first oil well and has now been declared as a national monument. The museum is open everyday but closes every Monday. Speaking of Canada Hill, if you are an adrenaline junkie, you can go for an extreme hike on the jungle treks of Canada Hill. Every evening, a group of trekkers or anyone else would go there for a hike. It sure is a test of endurance yet undeniably a healthy activity since you will burn a lot of calories for that. However, slopes can get slippery during the rainy season, so always always be careful and be prepared.

If you want to get in touch with Mother Nature, you can head out to Taman Negara Lambir Hills. It is about 30 km from Miri and takes around 30 minutes to reach by car or an hour by bus. Enjoy the wonders of nature and take a hike in the park. There are plenty of impressive tall trees and picturesque waterfalls in the part so enjoy the scenery of the waterfall where you can swim as well. Taman Negara Lambir Hills is popular with tourists, especially at weekends when more people from Miri travel there for a day visit. There are several trails for tourists to explore. These ranges from short and fairly flat walks to the long and steep trek to the summit of Bukit Lambir, the tallest point in the park.

You can also go for a swim at one of the beaches in Miri. One of the most visited beaches in Miri is Tanjung Lobang. It is a great place to go to on a Sunday afternoon for picnics as well as a place for families and friends to have fun. You can also drop by at Esplanade Beach which is the local's favourite beach front located at Luak Bay.
