Tambunan Rafflesia Reserve

Dawanghua Nature Reserve belongs to a park of protected plants. Dawanghua is also a unique plant here. It is very precious. Many flowers are very delicate. Giant flowers are distributed in many parts of the forest.

Dawanghua Nature Reserve is mainly to see Dawanghua, Dawanghua is still well-known, only seen in the photos before, it looks very special, but look at Dawanghua or fate, the annual blooming period is only seven days.

Lao Ye took us to see Dawanghua, which should not be the Dawanghua Reserve in the National Park. He said that natural Dawanghua is very rare. It blooms once a year and only lasts seven days. One-day tourists like us are usually invisible. So the local residents circled themselves after they found the queen's flowers on the hill, waiting for them to blossom, and within a few days of blooming, they charged tourists to watch them on the roadside. It's also a way to generate local income. It charges one horseback and five horseback. The roadside signs were temporary, and the toll office had only tables and chairs, but there were notes on the days of the seven-day blooming period. The day we went was the first day of "First Day". Rafflesia, also known as Rafflesia, is the largest flower plant in the world. It is famous for its huge flowers and its rotten smell after flowering. It has the reputation of "World Flower King". Baidu Encyclopedia says the flower is a fleshy parasitic plant. Carnivorous parasitism means that organisms parasitize on the roots or branches of plants, and the organs that absorb nutrients degenerate into mycelia, invading the tissues of host plants. Read here, read me sweaty, how alike. In the "Protected Area", several of them have been circled, and some of them have already flowered, showing rotten black.

The world's largest flower, Rafflesia. If you are lucky, you can see it here. Information will be uploaded if it is in bloom on Facebook at the Tambunan Rafflesia Center. However, the flowering period is about 1 weeks, so be early. It takes about １ 30 minutes by car from Kota Kinabalu International Airport. I went by car rental, but it seems that I can go with grab. We recommend that you make a reservation for your return in advance.

Yes, a place worth going, like it, go again next time.

Luck was good at that time. It was very special to see a king flower. The first time I saw such a large flower, about 60 cm in diameter. In very damp and dark places, it's smaller than I thought.
