Fort Margherita
Fort Margherita is an old fort built in 1879 by Charles Brooke, Rajah of Sarawak situated in Kuching, Sarawak, Malaysia. The fort is an important landmark and monument in Sarawak’s history which goes back to the Brooke Dynasty. The fort, built in the style of an English castle, was designed to protect Kuching from attack by pirates. It served as a Police Museum from 1971 before being handed over to the Sarawak state government and now is a tourist attraction in Kuching.
The fort was built on a hill overlooking the Sarawak River and situated on the north bank opposite the then fast expanding town centre of Kuching. The fort was well-equipped to protect the capital from river-borne invasions.
The three storey tower block’s battlement includes a watchpoint on top,a courtyard surrounded by a high wall with sharp glass shards inlaid for protection and set into the wall itself are wooden windows from where the cannons were fired. Executions of prisoners were carried out in this courtyard,right up to the Japanese occupation during World War II.

Tune Hotel Waterfront Kuching
古晋的这间Tune地理位置非常好。出门就是水岸，而且是靠近去Fort Magherita的码头。
后门出去便有廉价美食，上坡就是hills购物中心。那里也有金湾茶餐厅、My Chicken Cafe等空调餐厅可免费上网。
古晋的Tune酒店正位于Hilton对面。图中的椰子树就是Hilton种的。
出门下坡过马路就是水岸，看夕阳美美的。到其他任何景点都不远，可谓绝佳地段。
我前两次住的是单人房，房间小小的。可能因为开业已经好几年了，床单、垫脚布等已经留下不少的污痕。而且每日整理客房的人也很懒，时常不按规定隔日换寝具，就算换的新的还可能出现新鲜污痕。
明显的深刻的污痕，第二天我特地把请整理的牌子放在床上指向污痕，但还是没有给我换床单，直到第三天我守在房间里亲自监督她们换了床单，但是又出现其他新的污痕。
保险箱都是小小的，上网本都放不下。
