KUCHING: As they were driven through the city, the first thing that Chinese tourists Fan Rui and Zhong Hua noticed was that the city was terribly quiet.

Fan and Zhong said they found this strange because in China no shops would close their doors during the Chinese New Year holidays.
"We had not expected this,” they said when met at the open house of Sarawak Tourism Federation president Wee Hong Seng yesterday.
