16. 3.5 Taman Bukit Aup Jubilee Park (28 reviews)
    - Lovely
    Parks
    
    
    The park is one of the most unique place in Sibu; because Sibu town in normally flat due to the geographical location. Located at the outskirt of the town, around 15-20 ride; buses do pass-by this area, but not recommended as the service is very inconsistent. The first thing you'll see once entering the park is the pond. Plenty of fish are in it waiting for you to feed them (fish food can be bought at the canteen there). And if you are lucky, you can find some tortoises in it too. The highlight of the park is the hike to the top for a view of the surrounding. At the bottom of the park, there is a playground and some basic fitness amenities for young and old. In overall, it's an ideal place for an evening walk along with family, friend or solo.

18. 3.5 Lin's Swan Garden (15 reviews)
    - A swan city
    Gardens
    
    
    The statue of the swan here is smaller in size than that at the waterfront. There should be one as big as that at the waterfront and nicer design. The color is a bit of plain; the one at the water front looks more colorful. The Garden is within walking distance from Tahamas Hotel and also a Kompia shop nearby. You can buy some kompia to eat at the garden bu it is a bit hot in the afternoon. Nothing spectacular and the statue looks dull on a cloudy day. See more..

    - If you're already at bukit aup check it out
    Spent < 1 hour Points of Interest & Landmarks
    
    
    So we didn't know what to expect when we wondered across the road to this place, it was very quiet, but some retairan to staff having their afternoon meal were very friendly. Honestly though if you come here you have to walk past the restaurants and check out the bird cage!!! These black and yellow birds are shy to begin with but soon start talking and they are so funny!! They said things in English, Malay and Chinese and when we laughed at them, one of them mockingly copied our laugh!! So cool!! So if you are already at the jubilee park across the road pop in, at least for the birds! See more..
