The village is an old Chinese trading post,[3] about ten minutes downstream by boat from Long San.[4]
It is the site of an old Fort built in 1929 as an administrative centre in Charles Vyner Brooke’s era.[5] The structural timber in the two-storey fort is the very hard Ironwood (local name Kayu Belian) and it has undergone some refurbishment, including replacing the timber roof tiles with zinc roofing.[4]
