Exploring Labuan - A Tax Haven Island in Malaysia

On my first full day exploring Labuan Island, I set off from my hotel in Victoria, conveniently located near the ferry port.

I began at Labuan Square, a spacious area used for major celebrations and festivals. Here, I saw a replica of the Chimney monument, which is located on the other side of the island.

Next, I visited the Labuan Museum, which offered fascinating insights into the island’s history. The best part? I had the museum all to myself!

Venturing out of town, I came across the Clock Tower. This is a replica of the original structure that survived World War II. Unfortunately, the British demolished it in the 1950s, but the Malaysian government recently rebuilt it to honor its historical significance.

I concluded my walking tour at the Commonwealth War Grave, a serene site where British and Australian soldiers are laid to rest following World War II. The area was peaceful and deeply moving.

Throughout the day, I also visited the beach and various parks, making for an engaging walk filled with history and culture.
