Click below for an interactive road map of the Lamin Dana Guest House in Kampung Tellian Tengah and for directions:Strolling together with local guide Ambrose over the plank walks between the stilted houses of his traditional Melanau water village and stopping at a 200-year-old kelidieng (a sacrificial burial pole, made from a hollow belian [Borneo ironwood] tree trunk decorated with ornate carvings, which was used to ward off disasters by placing a young maiden inside the pole and giving her only water until she finally died).
Hiring a local sampan (MYR 10.- for the four of us) for the 3-km long ride on the picturesque Sungai Tellian to the bustling fishing harbour in Mukah.
