The bridge is located adjacent to the Kuching Waterfront. From the city centre, it is accessible via a short walk or a quick ride by local transport, typically taking less than 10 minutes depending on the starting point.

Duration of Visit

Most visitors spend between 30 and 60 minutes crossing the bridge and taking photographs of the river and city skyline.
