Oya is the town next to Mukah. It is connected to Dalat which is connected to Sibu by the Kut canal. Travellers from Mukah would go by road to Oya and the Dalat in less than an hour, and then take a speed boat to Sibu, via Kut canal, Igan River. This takes about 2 hours. It is an adventure by river!!

Dalat's Chinese Temple.

Dalat is a nice place to visit. However remember no shops would be opened after five p.m. So have your dinner before that time.
