S19EP64 | MALAYSIA | SANDAKAN Borneo

Sandakan was founded in the 15th Century during the Bruneian Empire but was completely destroyed during the Second World War. Although today it is a modern city, it has very few tourist specific landmarks to visit. Nevertheless, the city is very pedestrian-friendly with a lovely 2.5km heritage trail past some significant landmarks and with great views. The friendly and good-natured people are what really make Sandakan worth a short stay.

We spent a day exploring this often-overlooked city in Sabah.

Most people, however, only pass through Sandakan to see the famous Borneo Orangutans at the Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre which is less than 20kms outside of Sandakan and rescues and rehabilitates Orangutans.
