KAMPONG AYER

For at least 600 years, Bruneians harvested the bounty of the seas, forging a way of life that is still strongly evident in the lives of the 30,000 inhabitants of Kampung Ayer, the capital's sprawling water village.

Here, the village's centuries-old web of homes, markets, mosques, schools, medical clinics and police and fire stations hovers on stilts over the shallows of the Brunei River. Even today, water taxis are the most efficient and popular means of negotiating the Kampung's labyrinthine waterways. From their prows, one could see the mosque's glistening minarets rising above multi-hued, garden-draped homes.

Brunei has not been spared the encroachment of high technology and high-flying aspirations, but beyond the cold blinking faces of computer screens and beneath the hum of modems, Kampung Ayer's heart still dances to an ancient rhythm.

Visitors may wander along the Kampung's pathways at appropriate hours.

ROYAL REGALIA

Situated at the heart of Bandar, the Royal Regalia Building and its unique collection of royal Bruneian artefacts was established to commemorate the 1992 Silver Jubilee of His Majesty's accession to the throne.

The ceremonial regalia on display includes the royal chariot, gold and silver ceremonial armoury, the traditional jewel encrusted coronation crowns and a replica of the throne used by His Majesty on state occasions. An exhibition documenting the history of Brunei's constitution may also be inspected.

ISTANA NURUL IMAN

The largest residential palace in the world, the Istana Nurul Iman is the home of His Majesty Sultan Hj Hassanal Bolkiah and the site of his Prime Ministerial offices. Built on a leafy, riverside sprawl of hills, the Istana boasts golden domes and vaulted roofs which echo Islamic and Malay architectural influences.One good place to view the Istana, especially at night, is from Persiaran Damuan, the palm-tree studded park that ambles along the river bank on Jalan Tutong.

ULU TEMBURONG EXCURSION

Ulu Temburong National Park occupies approximately 50,000ha of the Batu Apoi Forest Reserve. The park's locality and steep, swampy terrain have limited human impact on the area and helped preserve its rich biodiversity.Established forest trails through the park include 7km of wooden walkways which protect ground vegetation and help prevent erosion.

A canopy walkway affords visitors an opportunity to observe the rainforest's surprisingly diverse treetop ecosystems.In addition, a series of treehouses some 20m above the ground, and linked by hanging bridges, provides excellent observation points.

Ulu Temburong Park Headquarters Information Centre, including staff quarters and a surau (prayer hall), is located at the confluence of the Temburong and Belalong Rivers. Access to the park is by temuai or longboat, and visitor accommodation within the park consists of some seven guest houses and three well-equipped campsites.
