Looking to immerse yourself in nature? If you're a hiking enthusiast, the Bukit Shahbandar Forest Recreation Park is located just across from the Empire Hotel with rich offerings in flora and fauna, as well as gorgeous panoramic views from the observation tower at the summit of the hill. Enjoy the sight of the coastline and the South China Sea stretching out to the north, Bandar Seri Begawan and the suburbs to the Southwest, the grand Istana Nurul Izzah and Jerudong Park to the west, and wide, spread-out tracts of verdant greenery everywhere else you look.
