The Grand Old Lady (Miri First Oil Rig)

Описание: The grand old lady is located on top of Canada Hill in Miri City, the second largest City in Sarawak, East Malaysia.

Canada Hill is also known as Bukit Telaga Minyak by the locals and it is popular for the first oil well drilled - The Grand Old Lady.

The Grand Old Lady is Miri's first drilled oil well which took place in the year of 1910 by the Royal Dutch Shell Company.

This famous landmark has a height of 30 meters and marked the beginning of modernization of Miri city.

Back in the years before the discovery of The Grand Old Lady, Miri is just an undeveloped fishing village.

From the Canada Hill, you have a chance to spectate the beautiful sunset down the sea horizon, and the city glows in beautiful night lights.
