EPISODE 1 OF VR COUNTRY TOURS: BRUNEI 🗺🇧🇳| A NEW VR COUNTRY TOUR EPISODE EVERY SATURDAY
The tiny sultanate of Brunei is just a remnant of a naval empire that once ruled all of Borneo and part of present-day Philippines. Nevertheless, this quiet darussalam (Arabic for ‘abode of peace’) boasts the largest oilfields in Southeast Asia.
Look beneath the surface of this well-ordered and tightly regulated sultanate and you’ll see the underlying warmth of Brunei’s people and the wisely conserved wildness of its natural environment. Thanks to the money generated by the oilfields, Brunei hasn’t turned its rainforests into oil palm plantations. Old-growth, primary forest abounds, especially in verdant Ulu Temburong National Park.
In the charming riverside capital, Bandar Seri Begawan (BSB), opulent palaces and magnificent mosques contrast with the haphazard and flimsy-looking water villages. Fringing this city’s modest extents are lush forests and mangroves, home to proboscis monkeys, hornbills and crocs.
