It acts as a gateway to the four surrounding national parks and beaches.

Miri Attractions

If you want to see the symbol of the city, you can visit the Grand Old Lady. The statue of the Grand Old Lady on Canada Hill marks the spot where oil was first extracted in Miri in 1910. After looking at the monument itself, you can finish this experience with a hike up Canada Hill. Canada Hill, also called Miri Hill, rises from the back of the city center with its magnificent view. The panoramic view of the small city and the South China Sea in the distance will amaze you.

The Oil Museum on Canada Hill tells the story of the oil in the city of Miri. People lived in wooden houses in Miri, a relatively small fishing village before it was discovered in 1910. Making their living from the South China Sea, the city flourished in a few decades. A visit to the museum will be a logical journey to see the traces of this development.
