KOTA KINABALU: One of Sandakan district’s most iconic landmarks, the Rainforest Skywalk is finally complete after almost 20 years of on-and-off construction and extension.

The canopy walkway, which is now 620m long after the completion of its final extension of 250m, would serve as a safe and perfect amenity for visitors and researchers, as well as bird watchers at the Rainforest Discovery Center in Sepilok.
