✨ Gedung Ubat
Gedung Ubat or Ammunition Store is located near the tip of Tanjung Kubong. The name of the structure comes from the words ‘gedung’, which means warehouse in Malay, and ‘ubat bedil’, which in local parlance means ‘bullets’ or ‘gunpowder’.
It is the storage area for artillery and explosives used by the Japanese army during World War II. The structure is cylindrical in shape with a height of 3.5 meters. It has a cone-shaped roof and a doorway overlooking the sea.

ReplyDeletebestnya...dah lama saya tak lakukan aktiviti walking trail ni. Tak tahu la bila dapat peluang join aktiviti macam ni lagi...
ReplyDeleteWahhh... bestnya pi Labuan sambil hiking! I miss hiking and travelling! Next year la plan pi labuan bawa family
ReplyDeleteBelum pernah berkunjung ke taman atau tempak geopark. So tmpat ni dulu tmpat gali arang batu lah kan? Menarik la.
ReplyDeleteboleh saya tolong reply? Ya. Tanjung Kubong pada 1847-1911 merupakan lokasi utama perlombongan arang batu di Labuan. Bukan setakat mulut terowong dan monumen Gedung Ubat yang ditinggalkan tapi tunggul tiang bekas dermaga Raffles Anchorage turut masih kelihatan. Paling menarik kawasan tebingnya adalah salah satu daripada 16 tapak geologi bernilai tinggi (geotapak) di Labuan.
