The Water Villages of Kampong Ayer
Venice of the East
Bandar Seri Begawan | Brunei
OCTOBER 28, 2018—It's the afternoon of our first day in Bandar Seri Begawan. We just had late lunch after doing a private tour in Kuala Belait and Seria in the morning.
It's our first time in Brunei and we were told that Kampong Ayer is a must see so we made sure to visit it on our first day.
Kampong Ayer is truly interesting to say the least. We expected to see boat houses or makeshift houses because those were what we've known to associate to floating villages. We were pleasantly surprised that the houses in Kampong Ayer are neither of those. In at least one particular area the houses can actually be considered as affluent. In general, the houses are of regular working-class citizens of Brunei. There are actually several contiguous villages in Kampong Ayer, making up complete communities, with mosques, schools, clinics, police stations, etc. Most of the communities are connected by concrete or wooden bridges. Water taxis are available to bring people to farther villages or to the city center across the river.
We later learned from research that the floating villages of Kampong Ayer are the original capital of Brunei. However, it is now feared that Kampong Ayer's culture and tradition may be slowly vanishing as more and more people choose to move and live on land.
From our water taxi and while navigating around Kampong Ayer we also got a good view of some of Brunei's stupendous palaces and mosques in and around the city proper. In a way Kampong Ayer provided us with a good bird's eye view of Bandar Seri Begawan.
This is a short video presentation of our very interesting visit to the floating villages of Kampong Ayer in Bandar Seri Begawan. Enjoy watching.

Cinematic BRUNEI: VENICE of The EAST- Kampong Ayer(Water Village)
Venice of The East and its perfect for photography and cinematography. The beautiful and exotic Brunei from my own cinematic experience. Strolling from unstable wooden pathway and riding the adrenaline pumping ride of water taxi. Watch and share and don't forget to subscribe.
Kampong Ayer dated back to hundred of years where one of the crew of Ferdinand Magellan reported about a settlement and houses on the river. It consist of school, restaurants, clinic, stores but unfortunately for the past 40 years, some of the residents are moving in-land so the population decrease. Some of the houses never fully restore it and some abandoned it and turn to some parks.

나는 다시 강을 따라 수도, 반다르세리베가완으로 돌아왔다. 이곳에 세계 최대 규모를 자랑하는 수상마을이 있다. 브루나이 왕조와 함께 시작된 캄퐁 아에르는 오늘날 브루나이의 근원지이다. 1906년 브루나이 도심이 형성되기 이전까지 브루나이를 대표하는 거주 지역이었다. 지금도 국민의 약 10%가 이곳에서 살고 있다. 왕가에서 수상가옥을 무상 제공하기 때문에 불편함 없이 생활이 가능하다. 동방의 베니스라 알려진 이곳, 28개의 수상 마을들을 연결해 강 위에 거대한 도시를 만들었다. 수많은 나무 기둥이 수상 가옥들을 떠받치고 있고 알록달록하게 페인트 칠해져 있는 집들은 크기도 모양도 제각각이다. 주택과 주택 사이엔 나무다리가 설치돼 있다. 주민들은 주로 소형 보트로 통행한다. 캄퐁 아에르는 그 역사만큼이나 전통과 현대를 함께 볼 수 있는 곳이다. 긴 세월을 꿋꿋이 잘 버텨온 가옥들이 신기해 보인다. 자연환경을 활용한 독특한 수상가옥 캄퐁 아에르엔 브루나이 사람들의 일상이 묻어있다.

I came back to the capital, Bandar Seri Begawan, along the river again. Here is the world's largest water village. Kampong Aere, which began with the Brunei dynasty, is today the source of Brunei. In 1906 Brunei was a residential area representing Brunei until the city was formed. About 10% of the people still live here. It is possible to live without inconvenience because the water house is provided free of charge in the royal house. Known as the Venice of the East, it connects 28 water villages to create a huge city on the river. Numerous wooden pillars support waterfront houses, and houses painted in shades are of varying sizes and shapes. There is a wooden bridge between houses and houses. Residents usually travel in small boats. Kampong Aeer is a place where you can see tradition and modernity as much as its history. The houses that have survived for a long time seem strange. A unique waterfront house utilizing the natural environment, Kampong Aireen Brunei is home to daily life.

Saya kembali ke ibu kota, Bandar Seri Begawan, di sepanjang sungai lagi. Berikut adalah kampung air terbesar di dunia. Kampong Aere, yang bermula dengan dinasti Brunei, kini menjadi sumber Brunei. Pada tahun 1906 Brunei merupakan kawasan kediaman yang mewakili Brunei sehingga kota itu dibentuk. Sekitar 10% orang masih tinggal di sini. Adalah mungkin untuk hidup tanpa kesulitan kerana rumah air disediakan secara percuma di rumah diraja. Dikenali sebagai Venice of the East, ia menghubungkan 28 kampung air untuk mewujudkan bandar besar di sungai. Terdapat banyak tiang kayu yang menyokong rumah-rumah tepi air, dan rumah-rumah yang dicat dalam warna mempunyai pelbagai saiz dan bentuk. Terdapat jambatan kayu antara rumah dan rumah. Penduduk biasanya mengembara di perahu kecil. Kampong Aeer adalah tempat di mana anda dapat melihat tradisi dan kemodenan seperti sejarahnya. Rumah-rumah yang telah bertahan untuk masa yang lama kelihatan aneh. Sebuah rumah air terjun yang unik yang menggunakan persekitaran semulajadi, Kampong Aireen Brunei adalah rumah kepada kehidupan seharian.

Walking Tour of Kampong Ayer Water Villages in Brunei’s Capital (Part 2)
A local photographer named Hannan takes me on a walking tour of Kampong Ayer, the world’s largest overwater stilt settlement with an estimated 20,000 residents living in 42 villages above the Sungai Brunei River in the national capital, Bandar Seri Begawan. The settlement at Kampong Ayer is believed to have been founded at least 1,000 years ago. When Venetian scholar Antonio Pigafetta visited the villages in 1521, he called it the “Venice of the East.”

Walking Tour of Kampong Ayer Water Villages in Brunei’s Capital (Part 3)
A local photographer named Hannan takes me on a walking tour of Kampong Ayer, the world’s largest overwater stilt settlement with an estimated 20,000 residents living in 42 villages above the Sungai Brunei River in Bandar Seri Begawan. Notice the contrast amongst older, flimsier wooden houses versus newer, sturdier buildings better designed to survive monsoon storms. Sadly we pass an area of intertidal mudflats full of garbage that has washed ashore. This disgusting scene contrasts with the spectacular sunset we witness as the Muslim evening call to prayer sounds from mosques throughout the capital city.
