| Sandakan Waterfront |
Sandakan serves as the gateway to nature on the east coast. Our plan was to head south to Bilit, a small village on the edge of the Sungai (river) Kinabatangan.

Sandakan, Sabah
The views on our flight into Sandakan were incredible. The stark contrast between ancient rainforest and modern palm oil plantations was eye opening. Sadly Sandakan was once the site of the Japanese prisoner-of-war camp in WWII and the starting point for the infamous death marches. Today it is Sabah's second largest city with a rundown centre but a pretty waterfront filled with restaurants and hotels and Sabah's largest fish market. Boats are plentiful.
