| View of Main Bazaar road today, 9 April'17. The picture shows the road leading out of town.
The twin market building in the background houses the 'Pasar Utama' and in the far background is seen a similar building that houses the 'Tamu'. Both have the architectural look of local Melanau sun-hat called the 'Terendak'.
The architecture of the market was inspired from the local Melanau sun-hat called the "Terendak". The Main Bazaar road now functions as a four-lane one way street with ample car parking spaces on both sides. Towards the left of the picture is partly seen a large open space for public activities, show, fairs and public assembly area.
