The hauntingly lovely Sandakan Memorial Park
#myhiddengems
There's beauty in misery, sadness and things that are so unloved and forgotten.
The Sandakan Memorial Park is the exact location of the POW (Prisoner of War) camp where thousands of POWs, mostly Australian, were imprisoned by the Japanese during the World War II is a somber but beautiful and picturesque park to visit…
And yes, there has been stories of locals seeing “soldiers” still marching around the vicinity…

Sandakan Memorial Park
#traveldiaries
I am immensely grateful that Sandakan Memorial Park exists, offering not just a site of historical significance; it is built in remembrance of those especially the Australians and British who perished in the war defending North Borneo.
There are remnants of rusty machineries such as the excavator and boiler/alternator left there which were used in the construction of concentration camp and other infrastructure.
The memorial park earns a respectable five stars rating for its impeccably maintained grounds and the profound experience it offers.
