#travellerswonderland The Rejang Esplanade is a landscaped waterfront promenade that stretches from the express boat terminal to Kingwood Hotel. Also, it includes the Hii’s Association community park. It is funded (whether it is maintained, that remains a question) by the clan. In the evening, many will take a stroll along the promenade to see the riverfront scenery and the conspicuous swan statue, the emblem of Sibu.
