The warm sunshine and pink sand beaches of Labuan are breathtaking.

I came to Malaysia on a business trip. The offshore platform there needed technical support. I was a little excited but also nervous because it was my first time there and I didn't know much about the situation there. I took a five-hour flight ✈️ to Kuala Lumpur, and then took a boat 🚢 to Labuan. It was already dusk when I arrived at my destination. My Malaysian colleague came to pick me up, took me to the accommodation to put down my suitcase 🧳 and took me to eat the local seafood, which was very fresh and delicious. We started working the next day and after three days of hard work the task was successfully completed. With two days left, a local colleague took me on a tour. The following is a detailed guide I summarized. If it is helpful to you, please remember to like and collect it! 1.
