Temburong District, Administrative district in eastern Brunei.
Description
Temburong District is an administrative area in eastern Brunei separated from the mainland and characterized by extensive rainforests and mountainous terrain. The landscape is heavily forested with limited development, giving it a remote and natural appearance.
History
The area became geographically separated from mainland Brunei in 1890 through territorial changes, leading to its designation as a distinct administrative district. This division established the territorial arrangement that exists today.
Culture
The population of 9,444 residents maintains traditional practices through five administrative divisions called mukims, each governed by a local Penghulu leader.
Practical
Access to the district requires traveling across a bridge that passes through another country's territory, which can affect travel planning. Visitors should allow extra time for crossing and be prepared for remote conditions once there.
Did you know?
The district harbors gravel deposits that fuel local construction, and operates shrimp farms along its waterways that produce aquaculture goods. These resources remain largely overlooked despite their importance to the regional economy.
