Last August we went to visit the dragon in the Lung Hua Kong Temple in Musi, not far from Bau. You might remember that he's the largest dragon sculpture in Sarawak, and you can walk right through his gloriously sinuous body.

Today we went back, with a couple of friends:

An outing in Sarawak always starts with breakfast... This is Premier Food Republic in Batu Kawa. Mine was the mee goreng from the stall at the back...

Last time, there'd been nothing inside the dragon. Now, decoration is well under way

It was great to meet Mr Goh, who's in charge of all this. He designed it, helped to build it, and is now undertaking the sculpture and the painting

But apart from the dragon himself, it's a lovely locality, alive with birdsong. These are wild orchids

Looking forward to another expedition in June, when the decoration will be completed.
