How do you get around in Tawau?
Tawau's public transportation is only suitable for locals. So, It is recommended

minutes.
Town Area
Basically you can't get lost in Tawau as the town is really well planned,
compared to most of the major towns in Malaysia. The town is designed in grid
system. You can get in and out of the town by two major roads - Jalan Utara and
Jalan Apas. Jalan Utara links to the west side of the town and to places like
Merotai and Kalabakan. Jalan Apas is a dual carriageway that links Tawau to
Kunak and Lahad Datu and vice versa.
The interesting places in Tawau are all about getting closer to mother nature.
The places are for people to get away from their busy lives. Nothing is more
relaxing than being far away from the city.

This park is located about 30km from town. This park is being taken care by
Sabah Parks. The park is a home to macaques, redleaf monkeys, forest tortoise,
giant squirrels, hombills and pheasants. Occasionally, one may chance upon civet
