Sailor of a bygone era found Sabah a safe shelter from the ravaging typhoons of the South China Sea. The geographical location of the State placed it just below the typhoon belt and Sabah thus earned the soubriquet " LAND BELOW THE WIND" More than just calm shores these early visitors also found a land of great natural beauty and friendly hospitable people.
