Tawau has its
own version of
KK¡¯s Gaya
Street Fair. It
is located at
the junction
between Jalan
Kuhara and
Jalan Apas.
Compared to the
one in KK, the
Tawau Sunday
Market is
shorter, but
has more
variety of
seafood. The
market is like
a mixture of a
wet market and
a pasar malam
(night market)
in KL. Food,
fish, plants,
flowers, toys,
kites and a
variety of
things are sold
here. Some of
the things
found here that
are not found
in Gaya Street
Fair (yet) are
the cotton
candy machines
and kites.

There are 1,200 species of orchids found in Sabah. In this
Tawau Sunday Market you can see in full display about 50 species.
Most orchids are highly evolved plants and the majority
of them are epiphytic on trees while some are terrestrial. They have green
leaves for photosynthesis and roots that captured nutrients from the leaf litter
caught on tree trunk and branches, or in the case of Bulbophyllum beccarii,
in cup-shaped leaves of the plant itself, roots than grow and ramify the leaf
litter collected there, to extract nutrients
