Some said it is the holy mountain of the locals. Some said there was a dragon residing on top of the mountain, guarding a pearl which would prolong life. Some said there was a widow standing on top of the mountain and waiting for her husband to come back from China. Too many beautiful stories about this mountain. Too many of them that leave imagination to younger generations to come. Too many adventures for the hikers from every corner of the world.
This is Mount Kinabalu - the highest mountain in Malaysia, one of the UNESCO Natural World Heritage. Located in Sabah, one of the 13 states in Malaysia on Borneo, the mountain stands at 4095m, which is the highest peak between Himalayas and Papua New Guinea. Mount Kinabalu offers various types of adventures and wonders to people who pay the visit. The scenic view of the highland is also an unforgettable one.
To get here, you will need to fly to the nearest city of Kota Kinabalu, Sabah state capital. The city is accessible by direct flights from most of the major cities in East Asia e.g. Hong Kong, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Shanghai, Seoul, Manila, etc. It is just a 2 hours drive from the city. Therefore, the highland area serves as a urban getaway to the urbanites. Come and enjoy. I am sure you will love this lovely place!
