Batu Sapi (GPS: 5.79764, 118.0418) is a rock formation beside the river to the south of Sandakan, Sabah. This rock formation was created by water erosion, current and waves over millions of years. It now stands at the estuary surrounded by mangrove and the fast encroaching Sandakan town. Over the years, the area on the foreshore of Batu Sapi has been developed into an industrial zone.
Getting there
To reach the rock formation, go along Jalan Batu Sapi until the road forks into two, and follow the left fork. The area is now known as the Batu Sapi Heritage Park. There is an unattended pondok where, if manned, you would have to pay admittance fee (Malaysians RM1 for adults, RM0.50 for children, and for foreigners RM15 for adults and RM10 for children).Batu Sapi is

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.
While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
