The Downtown 071206

A major landmark of downtown Sandakan is the imposing yellow Majlis Perbandaran Sandakan building.


Downtown also has a host of old buildings, such as this HSBC Bank - been here since 1948. There is also an old Standard Chartered Bank. Both attest to the rich trading history of Sandakan.


Another old building, this one belongs to Harrisons Trading.


No more wharf in Sandakan, but here's a nostalgic reminder.


And of course, the old mosque, more than 100 years old, perched on the woody hill-side overlooking the town.
