There is a small 100 year old Chinese temple in Sandakan, it is a bit out of place now with Sandakan built around it.

In Sandakan I was equipped with a local map. After gathering my bearings I was already close to a landmark: the fountain. Close by was the Sandakan Museum off a court opposite the police station so I popped in to have a look around there.
