Sandakan Travel Guide.

Sandakan is the second largest city in Sabah, Malaysia, and has a unique charm. Attractions: - Rainforest Discovery Center: Here you can explore the tropical rainforest and see a variety of rare animals and plants up close. Walk along the boardwalk and see colorful birds, lively monkeys, and more. It feels like you are in the kingdom of nature. It is recommended to visit in the early morning or evening when the animals are more active. - Sandakan Memorial Park: Built in memory of the prisoners of war during World War II, the park is quiet and peaceful, with many memorial sculptures and tombstones telling the heavy history and allowing visitors to feel the preciousness of peace. Food recommendations: - Seafood: Sandakan is close to the sea, so the seafood is fresh and delicious. For example, creamy tiger prawns, with firm and bouncy shrimp meat, and the rich cream and sweet shrimp meat blend perfectly; there is also steamed grouper, a simple method that retains the original flavor of the fish. - Local snacks: Such as fried bananas, with a golden crispy crust and soft and sweet filling, affordable, and available at street food stalls. Accommodation options: - Downtown hotels: Convenient for travel, close to restaurants and shopping. You can choose hotels with high ratings and new facilities, which can provide a comfortable resting environment for your trip. Transportation: - City transportation: You can take a taxi, which is convenient and fast. If you want to go to nearby attractions, there are also tourist buses available. Travel tips: When playing in the rainforest, be careful to avoid mosquito bites and wear appropriate clothing and shoes. When eating seafood, be sure to choose a restaurant with good hygiene to avoid stomach discomfort. In addition, respect local religious and cultural customs, such as dressing appropriately when entering mosques and other religious places.
