Niah

Niah's immense limestone caves open above the forests of northern Borneo. People sheltered and buried their dead here in prehistoric times, leaving traces of a remarkably long human presence. The caves are also home to swiftlets, whose edible nests have been collected and traded for centuries. Their harvest linked the forests of Niah to a wider commerce reaching China, with the Brunei Sultanate involved in the trade.

The later city of Miri lies here.
