Puu Jih Syh Temple

Hilltop Chinese Buddhist temple with broad views over Sandakan and Labuk Bay.

Puu Jih Syh Temple sits on a hill behind Sandakan and is worth the climb or short ride for the view alone. The temple is bright, busy and photogenic, but the real pleasure is looking back across the bay and seeing how the city spreads between water and hills.
