SANDAKAN: Famous for its eco-tourism and home to the orang-utan, Sandakan District has now discovered yet another tourism potential i.e. to become the next “paragliders’ haven” in the region.
Disclosing this was Elopura Assemblyman Au Kam Wah, after hosting a group of four Korean paragliding enthusiasts who came here to try out the newly-established ‘paragliding ground’ at the Trig Hills, about one kilometers from the town.
The area complete with a ‘launch platform’ was established last August to better promote paragliding with the help of a local paragliding promoter, Asnawi B. Mohd Hassan.
Trig Hills is one of the two sites that have been identified as being suitable for the paragliding; the other one is at the vicinity of Bukit Sim Sim.
