Sandakan Town Tour – St. Michael’s and All Angels Church, Fishing Village
So after our trip to the picturesque Puu Jih Shih Temple in Sandakan we checked out the rest of the town.
We visited a church which is part of the heritage trail called St. Michael’s and All Angels Church. A quaint little church finished in the early 1900s, it reminds of those little village churches back in UK.
Beautiful architecture and gardens.
The interior.
After that it was off to the fishing village, we had gorgeous blistering weather. Apparently the original site of Sandakan Town.
These are proper stilt houses!
The view from the last house, very nice!
Our great guide, Adam.
Then we headed to the market where the locals bought and sold fish, we saw some weird and wonderful things there I can tell you. There were all kinds of dried and fresh fish.
The vendors were very friendly.
Anyone have any idea what these are? Very colourful, I think I ate some – bit chewy.
Saw these cheeky looking kids sitting outside.
After that back to the hotel for a shower and a rest. Next morning we flying over to KK to continue our adventure.

Love the photos of that church! I can’t believe how well maintained it is!
I wonder what it smells like in those stilt houses? Salty? Or like waste? It would be an interesting experience living there.

ST, I think you ate one of the valuable Giant Zebra Sea Snail. See link http://www.bbc.co.uk/birmingham/content/articles/2008/09/08/giant_sea_snail_feature.shtml
