2 days in Sandakan, Borneo
We spent 2 days and 2 nights in Sandakan - our primary goal was to visit the Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Sanctuary and we thought a few days of hanging around the infinity pool.
But the actual highlight of our visit was wandering around the town following the Heritage Trail. The locals were incredibly beautiful and friendly people and we actually had sore cheeks from smiling so much!
Another highlight was seeing the top of Mt Kinabalu rising over the clouds as we flew from KK to Sandakan (we have tips on the best seats!).
The only thing missing from our adventure was a visit to the Rainforest Discovery Centre....just means we'll have to go back! :)

Warisan Sandakan - Jenn on the Heritage Trail
Heritage trails are popular in many places in our country - Georgetown Heritage Trail, Ipoh Heritage Trail, Melaka Heritage trail (just to name a few) - simply because Malaysia is rich in her history. We were thrilled to discover there are more than a dozen iconic stories on the Sandakan Heritage Trail. Here's Jennifer Thompson sharing her experience on the trail.
Warisan Sandakan is a series of stories featuring the unsung heroes, iconic heritage and hidden treasures of Sandakan through videos, photos and write-ups. These stories are presented by singer-songwriter Juwita Suwito, author-novelist Gina Yap Lai Yoong, music advocate and conservationist Jennifer Thompson as well as singer and host Zamil Idris.

You've never seen this part of SANDAKAN! Borneo, Malaysia (WeWillNomad)
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.
To find more info on Sandakan see our blog:
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.

Return to Sandakan POW DVD Documentary Trailer
During World War II 2500 Allied prisoners were held at Sandakan POW camp in North Borneo.Australian prisoners were sent to Sandakan in 1942 to build an airstrip. At first they were treated reasonably well. Gradually, however, rations were reduced and bashings anf torture increased.By late 1944, with Allied forces advancing toward Borneo, the Japanese decided to send about 2,000 Australian and British prisoners westward to Ranau, in Borneo's rugged interior. Weak and sick prisoners staggered for about 260 kilometres along jungle tracks. Many died on the way, their bodies never recovered. Those unable to continue were killed; those too weak to march had been left behind in Sandakan, where all died or were killed. Only 6 POWs survived the Japanese atrocities, 1787 Australians were killed. The 6 POWs who survived only survived due to their escape .
