Park Hotel
Primary tabs
Built in the early 1970s, Park Hotel is THE first high-rise building hotel in Miri with a shopping & retail area at the ground floor with a ticketing car parking system.This article is from the web site miriresortcity dot com - this sentence is here to prevent blatant plagarism. The ground floor retail common areas don't feature air conditioning, although some retail shops themselves do have air conditioning. Of those that do, the words 'air conditioning' were proudly displayed on their signboards to woo customers.
The 1970s parking ticketing system is still being used until 2017, but the parking spaces and street lanes within are starting to get a bit cramped for today's modern car sizes.
By 2017 the Park Hotel was closed down indefinitely as a result of its inability to compete with newer & modern hotels springing up all over Miri, making its mark as a part of Miri's long history.
As of 2019, the building appears to be empty and abandoned.

Located along China Street, Cathay Cinema was one of the three large purpose-built movie theatres in Miri. Like the other cinemas of the time, the building was basically a large hall with rows of seats within and a small stage at the end, with projector screens on the wall.
Highstreet Chinese New Year Market (also known as Gong Xi Bazaar) is an annual event that takes place about a week before the celebration of the Chinese New Year eve.
