Sibu #2 - Sungai Merah Heritage Walk

Sungai Merah means Red River. Many years ago, this river water was dark red due to the roots of mangrove and other plants along the riverbanks. The history of Sungai Merah can be traced back to 1900 when pioneer from China called Wong Nai Siong brought groups of young men and women in boats to arrive here for first settlement.

Over the last few years, most of the 2-storey wooden shops built during the 1900s era were either burnt down by fire and rebuilt, or replaced by new ones. Thank you for visiting, drop your comments below.
