It is also one of the richest countries in the world.
Like Dubai, it is a country floating on oil.
The solemn and splendid mosque, the integration of culture and religion,
The land of kingship and stability, the only mystery among the drunken gold fans...
Just hearing these words makes me feel "No way, no way,
I have to go and check it out"-walk, go to Brunei!
Preparation before departure

Most of the exhibits in the Sudan Memorial are the supplies used when the Sudan was enthroned and gifts from various governments. Simply put, it is a display of royal power.
Sultan memorial
But what is more special is that it also displays gifts from the people. It can be seen that the support and trust of the people are not only in the publicity bulletin.
The royal carriage used by the queen when it was enthroned on display was gilded. As a small farmer, I felt the shock from money and wanted to go up and take a bite to see if it was true (reason made me come back safely).
Omar Ali Saifuddin Mosque
Although I am familiar with this long name, I still have doubts: Is the theorem that the name is too long is universal? Then I have to think of a resounding title for myself according to the template of Dragon Mother!
This mosque is the symbol of Brunei, and the symbol of Brunei is the symbol of money. Look at this golden dome!
I have begun to adapt to this upstart style of decoration, and I don't even think about taking a bite anymore.
There is a stone boat on the artificial lake in front. Although there is a smell of French paintings hanging in the study of nouveau riche households, this kind of humanistic feelings is still in place.
There are too many rules for visiting the mosque, and my memory is not particularly outstanding. I just choose to follow others for a superficial visit. I came back safely and chatted with you, the effect is visible.
Brunei Floating Village
The largest stilt house community in Asia is not far from the richest Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddin Mosque in Asia, just across a long bridge.
The housing in the community can also clearly see the level difference, which can be understood as similar to bungalows, tube houses, townhouses, and villas.
