J' Story ♥: Story 61 - Sabah Day 2 [23/05/2011]

In day 2, we went to Kundasang. Kundasang is a village in Sabah, Borneo that lies along the bank of Kundasang Valley. It is located about 6 kilometres away from Kinabalu National Park. It is the closest village to Mount Kinabalu and has a panoramic view of the Mountain.It has been described as the Cameron Highlands of Borneo. We rent a van for going there. Along the journey, we went many places. 1st, we went to KK mountain view point. There was a place for people to see the view of KK mountain. Then, we went to Sabah Tea. Bought some tea as souvenir. Long house is the next station. It is a modern long house because the roof was made from atap. After long house visited, we were going to do the fish spa. I was crying at there, so sia sui. The fishes are big and fat. So geli, i'm so scare on there. Even put my legs in the river also not dare. Just stand, shout and cry at there for 15mins. Finish spa, it's time to have poring hot spring. It's a nature hot spring open for the public. Continued to War Memorial Park as our next station. (It established in 1962, this was one of the first memorials to commemorate the brave Australian and British Prisoners of War who died in Sandakan and during the infamous death marches toRanau during World War II. The memorial also remembers the people of North Borneo who risked their lives to help the POWs.

The Memorial is made up of four beautiful gardens - the Australian Garden, the English Garden, the Borneo Garden and the Contemplation Garden and Pool - to represent the different nationalities. With its towering pine trees and blooming roses, a walk in the gardens is reminiscent to that of a stroll in a quaint English garden. The scent of roses lingers in the air and the serene atmosphere makes the Kundasang War Memorial an ideal place to contemplate and remember the heroes of the war. Visitors can also opt to view a brief video on the history of the SandakanDeath March. - from google search) The view at there is soooo nice. We met a pair of bride and groom had wedding photograph at there. Next destination is Cow Farm. It is a place look like New Zealand. The air so fresh and bit cold. There product fresh milk. I got tried the taste of milk, taste is similar HL milk. I love that place. Last station is KK park, it is a departure place for the people who wanna climb KK mountain. The weather at there is below 10 degree celcius. Really very cold. We back in the evening. We had a seafood dinner at Gayang Restaurant. I felt that the food are salty and no cheap too. After dinner we back to the hotel to have a rest. Tired!
