[Malaysia] Head to The Grand Old Lady on the hills of Miri

#0yentrip The first place I visited when I went to Miri was "The Grand Old Lady". The red pylon at the top of Canada Hill is the remains of Malaysia's first commercially successful oil well, drilled by Shell in 1910, and is the starting point of Miri's development. From here, there is a wonderful view overlooking Miri city, and the view at dusk was particularly beautiful. You can also feel the historical background, and it's a relaxing place. In addition, at the adjacent Petroleum Museum, there are exhibits that teach the history of the oil industry, and the oil well models and simulators were interesting. The museum is interactive and can be enjoyed by both children and adults. There are many places where you can experience Miri's nature and history, and it was a valuable experience to fully experience the local culture.
