Serian Division is a administrative division in Sarawak which separated on 11 April 2015 from Samarahan Division. It is about 64 kilometres (40 mi) from Kuching. Sub-district headquarters towns are Balai Ringin and Tebedu.

Serian Division is known for its durians. This has prompted the Serian District Council to erect a giant monument to this "king of fruits" in the middle of the market square. The town is connected to the hinterland by road and by water. Most produce is brought in from Kalimantan, Indonesia as the prices are cheaper there.^{[citation needed]}

Geography

Limestone formations and paddy fields can be seen along the way to Tebedu. Other attractions of Serian include Gua Tiab Bilanting^{[clarification needed]} which is situated at Kampung Pichin and also Bukit Parang^{[clarification needed]} which is located on the Sarawak-Kalimantan border. The southernmost point in Malaysia, Bukit Niat, is also located on the border between Serian Division and Kalimantan, southeast of Tebedu, at a latitude of 0°51'10" N.^[1]^[2]

There are many waterfalls found in Serian District. Ranchan Waterfall is located at about 5 km (3.1 mi) from Serian town and is easily accessible by road. Simuja Waterfall is another waterfall in Serian but was damaged badly by logging activities. It is about 7 km (4.3 mi) away from town. There is no proper road to the waterfall and visitors have to hike 1–2 km (0.62–1.24 mi) from the Serian-Sri Aman trunk road to get there.

Tebedu (formerly known as Bandar Mutiara), located about 50 km (31 mi) away from Serian town on the Indonesia-Malaysia border, is one of only three official land border crossings between Indonesia and Malaysia.

Tebakang, a small town approximately 12 km (7.5 mi) away from Serian, is home to Mayang Tea plantation, Sarawak's sole tea producer.

Climate

Serian has a tropical rainforest climate (Af) with heavy to very heavy rainfall year-round.
