This national park located in Sabah on the northern end of Borneo Island. It covers by 75,370 ha dominated by Mount Kinabalu (4096 above sea level). Also, Kinabalu National Park is one of Unesco World Heritage Site. There are more than six trails in area which you can choose based on your ability to trekking. Don't be affraid of lost, there are so many directions in every turn. I choose Bukit Burung Trail first then continue to Silau-silau Trail towards to Botanical Garden. These trail are not too hard because there are stairs.

This beautiful park have so many interesting things for tourist because there are thousands of flora and also animals who live in this park. I see Orchid nursery in this park.

Satisfied taking picture here, I continue to hanging bridge. I buy the entrance fee around RM 5. This bridge called Poring Canopy Walkway which over 175 meters long and 43 meters in height, constructed by steel, ropes, cables and series of alumunium ladders bolted together. Laced with polyester ropes, the open rungs of ladders are covered by walking plank. Netting enclosed both sides for addtitonal security. The structure of this bridge is elastic, so it will bounce and swing when people walk on it. Some people feels this thrilling and some feel scary, but I feel both. LOL.

Cara ke Sana

Second day in Kinabalu, after wake up in the morning and have my breakfast, I decided to go to Kinabalu National Park. This national park is only 7 km from my hotel and I need 16 minutes to go there.

But, if you starting this trip from Kinabalu airport, you need around 2 hours trip by car, bur or taxi.
