this is my first time as a 3days 2nights tour guide..
my friend came all the way from KL and visit me here at Kota Kinabalu
I'm not very good at this but at least I can give low cost, cheap and affordable tour tips
especially for students because we are students
Kota Kinabalu for sure have to go island
so we went to 2 islands, Pulau Manukan and Pulau Sapi
go to Jesselton Point which is located at the city, and there got lot agency try to pull you and give u so many information about activities and islands over there
so no need to worry, you will be directed
Pulau Manukan not recommended, try Pulau Sapi or Pulau Mamutik
 |
| Pulau Manukan beautiful place |
 |
| There's chalet too..can check out the price and information..just google |
 |
| you will fall in love deeply |
you can prepare and bring your own food over too
if you didnt prepare dont worry, each island selling food but not much choices
we chose to hop 2 islands in a day
we reached Jesselton Point at 9am then spend few hours at Pulau Manukan
then hop to Pulau Sapi at 12pm
you can choose to stay at 1 island but if you can choose 2 islands why not?
as usual, snorkeling, banana boat and lot activities there
life jacket, the mask cost rm10/each roughly that price
if you need one contact your agent =)
 |
| Pulau Sapi.. I prefer here more |
tired tired day..sunburn is unavoidable haha
then we walked around at the city
opposite Suria Sabah which 10minutes walking distance from Jesselton Point have this amazing unwanted left building full of mural painting, well in the other word, vandalism haha
although I dont know this is vandalism or meant to be a tourism spot as well
but because of some people whose hand itchy, the beautiful spot became not pretty already
it used to be nice but because somebody spoil it by add more not artistic drawing so it became disaster
 |
| nice place for an abandoned spot |
 |
| if you ignore those unwanted sketches it actually very nice |
dinner can go to restaurant near there
an old kinda dirty restaurant but serve delicious food
located at Ang's Hotel, opposite Wisma Merdeka
is a chinese restaurant
try it out..
first day ended because so tired..after a day island hopping
next day you can visit the chilling chilling place, Kundasang
we called a van, tour van who fetch us and it's not expensive though, rm500/van and can fit 10 people
he will fetch us 3 places, Kundasang, the park..Poring, the hot spring.. and Mesilau, the cow farm..
all the way to Kundasang we will pass by Pekan Nabalu
every tour bus will stop by here
there's a spot for you to take picture of the Mount Kinabalu
unfortunately, super cloudy and only see cloud
 |
| pretties and the cloud no mount Kinabalu |
there got a lot of stalls..selling local food like tuhau, fruits..
they selling snacks as well.. amplang, kuih cincin..
of course beside food, souvenirs too.. keychain, t-shirt, hat
 |
| welcome to Pekan Nabalu, spot the left bottom picture, is a Gong, a traditional music instrument |
alright after Pekan Nabalu, next stop is Kundasang Park
reached Timpohon View
this place for tourist to see the Mount Kinabalu Peak as well but because the cloud keep following wherever we go, so only can see cloud and no peak
 |
| Timpohon View..all of us, 10 in total |
there have some office showing a lot information like the history, the largest flower Rafflesia's information and a lot more
alright, nothing much to do there since is cloudy so we go the next destination Poring, the hot spring
erm, I dont really fancy that hot spring because it seems not so hygiene although you can pay for a more personal place but I still dont feel like enjoying it, so we go to the canopy walk..
 |
| here a lot places to go if you dont feel like putting your leg into a same tub with others |
you need to pay for the canopy walk and of course your camera need to pay too haha
not expensive only rm5/camera...
of course canopy walk we have to walk up high high then only can go on the bridge..
so all the way up is not that tough i can wear so pretty and walk it with sandals
 |
| it is worth to walk it |
done with Poring here we go to Mesilau, the Desa Dairy Farm
this is the place I want to go so badly!! because it looks like New Zealand
here is where they produce Desa Dairy milk..
they actually have this session for people to visit and milk processing thingy, it open at 3pm
try to make it around at time to cow farm
 |
| i like the green grass..dont worry no cow poo poo |
 |
| really like New Zealand rite?? |
 |
| and if not so cloudy you can see the peak |
 |
| done with green grass, mountain and skies now with rock |
besides cow farm, there's War Memorial Park too..can pay a visit if want =)
all right..i'm done for 2 days trip here
these 2 days really tiring both day used up whole day
from Kota Kinabalu city to Kundasang took around 2 hours so it's not so far
if you decided to drive up yourself no problem is not that hard..just a way to go
but I dont like these bumpy up hill road haha so I will never drive up
next I'm going to share the food post haha
my blog often about food and this post no food at all because I'm saving it for next post
when my friends visit, we took a whole day just to eat out at KK
come back next time for food post haha..maybe few days later and all about food =)
