Visiting the Chimney at Tanjung Kubong

Continued from The cape called Tanjung Batu...


If Tanjung Batu is the eastern-most tip of Labuan island then a place called Tanjung Kubong is almost the northern-most tip.


From here one could also get a good look at mainland Sabah albeit a few kilometres further.



However the main feature of Tanjung Kubong is a building called the Chimney.


It is a remnant of a time when this parts of Labuan used to be important for coal-mining and there's a museum to commemorate it.



Inside is a map showing the coal-mines all around the island.




There's even a replica of the tunnels inside a coal-mine.
