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).

About this website



Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
