Follow my footsteps: Malaysia (Eight)
Malaysia·Asia Mount Kinabalu
On the way back to the hotel, I chatted with the white-haired Chinese old man. Their taxi company also provides a chartered service to the sacred mountain, 450RM, which is almost the same as the one contacted online, so I asked him to come to the hotel at seven o'clock the next morning. At six thirty in the morning, the famous Fuyuan near the hotel finally opened.
Before setting off to watch the proboscis monkey firefly sacred mountain, the temptation of Mount Kinabalu, which is as high as 4095 meters, is particularly great to me.
The morning wind carries a cool feeling. It takes about two hours to leave Yabi. The car starts to go uphill in the bend. The large clouds slowly spread in the pine forest, gather in the mountain concave, and the flowing beauty makes me excited. I said to the driver: I want to take pictures of the sea of clouds, and he slowly brought a kind smile: There are many above, many. The car is estimated to be about a kilometer away, the white clouds are still lingering at the foot of the mountain, the mountain situation begins to appear, there is no possibility of a sea of clouds above, my regret, for a long time to come back, with his Chinese level is not he simply do not know what is called the sea of clouds? These sceneries are nothing strange to him, and the sea of clouds?
The car continues to move upwards, thick dark clouds begin to gather and roll, the peak is hidden in the clouds from time to time, the sun is hidden behind the mountain, the nearby mountains present a green-black color, reaching the viewing platform at 1500 meters, except for the nearby pink mandala swaying in the wind, the peak is already in the deep clouds.
On the other side of the mountain, a fully armed team is heading towards the top of the mountain. I have been muttering for a long time that the registration has not been realized. To climb this highest peak in Southeast Asia, you need to make a reservation about three months in advance. Along the way, you can see from the tropical rainforest at the foot of the mountain to the cold needle forest on the mountain top to the shrub on the top of the mountain. This huge and ancient plant gathering place has become one of my wishes.
At this time, a small squirrel magically appeared, she suddenly jumped to the railing of the viewing platform in the pine branches, her eyes were shining at me, the girl was rare, said she was hungry must be hungry, she took out her treasured chocolate bar, I broke a little biscuit layer at the end, sure enough, this little thing quickly held up with both hands, small mouth chewing like flying cute, eating and flying charming eyes, and then shyly ran to the side to continue eating, I held the camera left and right to follow, the girl was even more excited, even the military brother took off his hat to let her in. When her other little friend called from the tree, she quickly climbed up, the clouds and mist came up, you can hear their happy running.
When we arrived near Poring Hot Springs, it started to rain in the sky, and the Chinese food in Dongling Restaurant made us feel at home.
Most of the people in the hot springs are locals. They all wear clothes and go directly into the hot springs. The colorful clothes make this place surrounded by green plants full of brilliance. On the island of Donggong Abdul Rahman in the future, the girl and I went directly into the sea, then wet and waited on the shore to the dock speedboat for a round, the clothes were dry.
Along the mountain path, we walked deep into the mountain, the slope began to increase, the lush branches and leaves covered the sky, there were sporadic raindrops falling, the feeling of hot and stuffy, the military brother was a little breathless, the road ahead was still far away, the military brother hesitated a little, I suggested to accompany him down, he let us go first, said if not, just go down, then call us, but when we arrived at the entrance of the rainforest suspension bridge soon, the military brother came up, he still did not give up this rare trip. This longest rainforest suspension bridge in the world is built between huge trees, with wooden boards two feet wide and a net on the side, about forty meters above the ground. We have not yet set off, a little girl walked backwards, with the help of security, pulled a big locust from her foot, looking at the girl's somewhat frightened eyes, we helped her apply insect repellent water, but as soon as she stepped on the shaking suspension bridge, she shrank back, this is the rain gradually increased, looking up, fine water arrows fell from the green leaves full of eyes, the sound of brushing slowly spread... Only six people are allowed on the bridge at a time, the people blocked by the rain on this suspension bridge slowly increased, under our encouragement, the girl took the first step, the suspension bridge looked far away, a misty rain, the clouds rose in the distance, the surrounding leaves were green and shiny, before the fifth section of the suspension bridge was finished, this wonderful journey has made the girl reluctant to stop, and another little girl went back and forth is another round trip.
nice place to bring our family to enjoy earth nature,sorround by green forest and nice view.friendly staff,good food.
Poling Hot Spring is very worth experiencing, and it is also a composition of the local tropical volcanic hot springs. The facilities and environment of the entire hot spring are quite interesting. The experience of this hot spring is very good. You can feel the unique natural characteristics here, which is very good.
I always thought that I was going to Sabah to see the sea view. I didn't expect that there is actually a hot spring glass hot spring here. It is actually a small place? But it is also more special, pure natural hot spring water, some colors
Boling Hot Spring is in Shenshan Park Tourist Area. We visited Shenshan Park in one day. It is divided into public hot springs and private hot springs. But the tour guide suggested that we only soak in public free hot springs. Private hot springs need more money, but in fact, they only give you a small room. The water is the same. The public hot springs here are like bathtubs, turning on taps. You can soak it in full water. There's also a big, hot pool beside it. Many local people sit beside it and soak their feet. It's really too hot. We can't stand it if we soak it for a while. Next door there is a pool with white smoke. The tour guide said that the water vapor is very hot and should not be near. Otherwise, it will be injured. The water vapor is also mixed with a great smell of sulphur. It seems that the hot spring water here is genuine.
The hot springs here are free of charge, and there are many local people soaking in them. Hot springs are divided into different pools, surrounded by green trees on all sides. Hot springs have large pools and separate small pools. The small pool needs its own water, the tap has hot water and cold water, but it takes a long time to wait, climbing down the mountain and jumping into the hot spring pool is also a very comfortable thing. Before coming, I heard that hot springs are only suitable for foot soaking, but in fact, it's no problem for me to soak in a small pool alone. I suggest that I take my swimsuit well in advance. There are also places for changing clothes and going to the toilet near the hot springs. Generally speaking, they are very convenient. But there is a charge for storing things here. In addition, there is an hourly charge for the individual bubble in the room. Personally, I don't think it is necessary to save bags and bubble alone. Just use public ones outside.
It takes about an hour's drive to Boling Hot Spring, north of Shenshan Mountain. It's famous for its natural sulphur springs. Most tourists are Malays. There are not many tourists. No tour group is relaxed. It's very primitive. I didn't expect Malaysia's hot springs to be so comfortable to soak and have some tropical fruits.
