The Koror-Babeldaob Bridge (KB Bridge) in Palau. It connects the country's two main islands: Koror Island, which is home to the old national capital (also known as Koror), and Babeldaob Island, the archipelago's largest island, which has the airstrip, power station, and other key facilities. This is one of the most beautiful historical sites in Palau , and it is a must-see for visitors.

The first KB Bridge was constructed in 1977. A terrible accident occurred in September of 1996. The bridge suddenly collapsed, killing several people. The bridge brought electricity and water lines from Babeldaob to Koror, in addition to being the major mode of transportation between the two islands. The collapse seriously interrupted the infrastructure of Koror, which is home to 70 percent of Palau's population, and had a significant impact on people's everyday life and its principal economy, tourism.

Palau's government constructed a floating bridge as a temporary substitute while also asking Japan to assist in the construction of a new bridge. Japan reacted by giving grant funding for the project, which began in November 1999 and is still ongoing. Six years later, in 2002, the rebuilt bridge was completed. The Palau people dubbed it the Japan-Palau Friendship Bridge, and a plaque bearing the name was erected at each end.

Palau's oldest bai also named Airai Bai (men's meeting house) is over 100 years old, measuring 21 meters long and 6 meters wide with a steeply pitched roof reaching a height of 12 meters. It is one of the most beautiful historical sites in Palau. It was constructed on a stone foundation using local resources such as wood and thatch. A variety of classic scenes and significant themes are painted both inside and out. Look for the famous money bird delerrok, which is thought to bring good luck to the hamlet and can be found in all four corners of the bai.

In the village of Airai, the bai is the focal point of civic and religious life. Women require special permission to enter the building, which is used by the village's ten chiefs who play key roles in the government. Each chief represents his or her clan and has his or her own seat in the meetinghouse. Airai Bai is located in the village of Airai, in a clearing. It is not well-marked; get instructions from locals. The bai's keeper is likely to arrive out of nowhere and demand the admittance fee.

The meetinghouse also serves as a repository for local folklore and myths. The beams are painted with symbols like the rooster, money bird, spider, and bats. This is a section of a story that tells about the village and the spirit world. There are lamps that hang from the beams for lighting and in the center there is a wooden beam known as the Ngchongch which is a path for the gods so that they can join the meetings.

On the list of most beautiful historical sites in Palau, the Airai War Canoe is ranked third. The Kabekl, also known as the War Canoe, was a significant type of ocean watercraft in the Pacific region that stood out from the rest by being low in the water in proportion to the length of the boat and the size of the sail.

Nonetheless, Palauan sailors and paddlers kept exceptional talents in manipulating and maneuvering their canoes. The Airai war canoe was made in the 1990s by some of Airai's elders and some of the village's younger men who were interested in the village's man's organization. The tools used to carve the canoe were adze tools, which are fairly prevalent in every village who are constructing the canoes.

The war canoe’s length is base of the certain trunk of the tree and its quality, better yet, the longer the better, they’re usually 40 feet in length or more and 2 feet deep, to accommodate 40 people, and if you noticed the rope made of coconut husk is being used to hold all parts of the war canoe together as a replacement for nails.

The Southern Lagoon of the Rock Islands is made up of a smattering of big and tiny forested limestone islands strewn inside a marine lagoon protected by a barrier reef. In the western Pacific Ocean, the property is located within Koror State, just to the south of Palau's major volcanic island, Babeldaob.

The Rock Islands Southern Lagoon spans 100,200 acres and is home to 445 deserted volcanic limestone islands. In turquoise lagoons bordered by coral reefs, many of them have unusual mushroom-like formations. The site's physical attractiveness is enhanced by a sophisticated reef system that includes over 385 coral species and various types of habitat. They support a diverse range of flora, birds, and marine life, including the dugong and at least thirteen shark species.

The place has the world's highest concentration of marine lakes, which are small bodies of seawater separated from the ocean by land. They are one of the islands' most distinguishing characteristics, sustaining high endemism in populations that continue to provide new species discoveries. Over three millennia, the ruins of stonework towns, as well as burial sites and rock art, bore witness to the organization of small island communities.
