Kundasang, Sabah (Mt.Kinabalu)

Mt Kinabalu is world well-known place for mountain climbing. However, most of the people thought this place is for mountain climbing only. Kundasang is a place at the bottom of Mt Kinabalu which you can stay and relax with cosy wheather and nice mountain view. I'm very familiar with this place as I was raised around this area. If you want to get our from the hot place... here is a good place to cool yourself down and relax your mind.

Mt Kinabalu has several name in Chinese which is "神山" or "中国寡妇山". A famous attraction always has it's legend. Mt Kinabalu has the legend as well. If you watch carefully the shape of the Mt Kinabalu peak, you will see a shape of lying down women. The legend is about a widow standing at the peak of the mountain and looking the South China Sea waiting for her husband to come back from war. From my sight of my window last time at Ranau, I can see the shape of women in other way which only can be seen in this angle. I so miss the time I was a child staying in such a cooling place everyday. I felt scared at night when the strong wind blowing at the window with weird sounds.

There is a war memorial park you can pay a visit to. The park now is beautify with lots of flowers and trees. It's very nice and you can view the whole area of Kundasang and Mt.Kinabalu. It's just like a bug and nice garden.

If you are driving yourself up to Kundasang, pay a visit to a cow farm. Fresh milks are from them and you can buy it there, drink it there. Nowadays, I guess they've changed some policy. Have you experience while having the fresh milk in hand and watching those cows just right in front of you? Funny....

Things you must not miss it! First, wake up early at the morning and wait for the sunrise. You will feel the beauty of life and a brand new day. The world is so beautiful created by Almighty God.

Second, Mt Kinabalu is a dead volcano. Wherever there's volcano, the next thing you will think about is hot spring. Drive for another hour to Poring Hot Spring. Get yourself dip at the pool and feel the relaxation. Much more better than you go for any spa. This is a nature spa that you'll enjoy it.
