Serian Division

Serian Division is an administrative region in Sarawak consisting of three districts spread across hilly terrain with numerous rivers and limestone formations. The landscape is shaped by these geological features that define the character of the area.

This region was established in 2015 as the twelfth administrative division of Sarawak and separated from Samarahan Division. This separation created an independent administrative structure for the area.

Serian is home to various communities including Bidayuh, Iban, Chinese, and Malay peoples who maintain their traditions through daily life and celebrations. Visitors notice this cultural diversity in local markets, traditional crafts, and the way different communities share the same spaces.

The best time to visit is during the dry season when roads and river access are easier and travel is more comfortable. Preparation for rainy conditions and uneven terrain is necessary since the region is hilly.

Tebedu functions as a border town between Malaysia and Indonesia where people cross daily and trade occurs naturally. This border traffic creates a place where two nations meet and exchange goods and customs.
