Sibu, River port city in Sarawak, Malaysia
Sibu stretches along the confluence of the Rajang and Igan rivers, with an extensive network of waterways connecting different sections of the city.
The settlement began in 1862 when James Brooke constructed a fort, followed by Chinese Hokkien traders who established businesses around the protective structure.
The Sibu Central Market displays local products across three floors, where vendors from different ethnic groups sell regional specialties and fresh produce.
The city maintains direct flight connections to major Malaysian destinations through Sibu Airport, located 23 kilometers from the central district.
The timber industry forms the economic base of Sibu, with numerous processing facilities and shipyards operating along the Rajang River banks.
