Sarawak : Sibu Town Map |
| Sibu is the gateway to the mighty Rajang
River and its vast hinterland. As the main commercial centre and
port for the Rajang Basin, Sibu is the starting point for one of the
world's great river journeys. The second largest town in Sarawak,
Sibu is situated on the confluence of the Rajang and Igan River, 130
km from the South China Sea. It is a thriving, modern town dominated
by its bustling and crowded waterfront. Sibu's wealth and fame are
largely due to its enterprising, hard working Foochow community, who
arrived in Sarawak from Southern China during the reign of Rajah
Charles Brooke (1900 - 1917), and the town is still frequently
referred to as "New Foochow". Nowadays, however, Sibu's populaton of
180,000 is a colourful mix of Chinese, Malays, Ibans and other
ethnic races. Each race takes great pride in its own traditions and
customs, but racial harmony and unity are the norm here. You can find more Borneo
