Sibu, Labaan has always been a nice place for many foochows to visit. One very interesting feature which young people would like to see was the whirlpool which was very legendary there in the 1960's.
According to local oral history there, it was this whirlpool which brought a lot of good luck to the settlers here in the past. Many rich people originally came from Labaan or Lor Ma Ang e.g. the late Datuk Seri Wong Soon Kai.
Labaan is now famous for a bridge which was built recently. Jambatan Lebaan or Batang Lebaan Bridge is a major bridge connecting Sibu and Tanjong Manis. It is 1.24 km or 1 mile long and is the fourth longest bridge in Malaysia across a river and also the third longest bridge in Borneo. The longest bridge in Borneo is the Tayan Bridge in Sanggau, West Kalimantan, Indonesia (1.4Km)
