The town is known for its durians, which are popularly believed to be the best in Sarawak. This has prompted the Serian District Council to erect a giant monument to this "king of fruits" in the middle of the market square. The town is well connected to its rich hinterland both by road and by water and thus there is all sorts of jungle produce available in the jungle produce market but lately, most produce was brought in from Kalimantan, Indonesia as the price are cheaper.
The district population was 90,763 in 2010.[1] About 65% of the population are Bidayuh. The other main ethnic groups are Iban, Chinese, and Malay.

There are many waterfalls found in Serian District Sarawak. Ranchan Waterfall is located at about 5 km (3.1 mi) from Serian town and is easily accessible by road. Simuja Waterfall is another waterfall in Serian but was damaged badly by logging activities. It is about 7 km (4.3 mi) away from town. There is no proper road to the waterfall and visitors have to hike 1–2 km (0.62–1.24 mi) from Serian-Sri Aman trunk road to get there.
