Serian Division

Serian Division is a administrative division in Sarawak which separated on 11 April 2015 from Samarahan Division. It is about 64 kilometres (40 mi) from Kuching. Sub-district headquarters towns are Balai Ringin and Tebedu. Serian Division is known for its durians. This has prompted the Serian District Council to erect a giant monument to this "king of fruits" in the middle of the market square. The town is connected to the hinterland by road and by water. Most produce is brought in from Kalimantan, Indonesia as the prices are cheaper there. Limestone formations and paddy fields can be seen along the way to Tebedu. Other attractions of Serian include Gua Tiab Bilanting which is situated at Kampung Pichin and also Bukit Parang which is located on the Sarawak-Kalimantan border. The southernmost point in Malaysia, Bukit Niat, is also located on the border between Serian Division and Kalimantan, southeast of Tebedu, at a latitude of 0°51'10" N. There are many waterfalls found in Serian District.
