On the flight from KK to Sandakan, I had a sighting of the summit of Mount Kinabalu from the left side of the plane. It was quite covered in cloud on that day though.

Kinabalu GeoPark Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
Mount Kinabalu is the highest mountain in Southeast Asia, with a height of 4,093 meters, about 85 kilometers from Kota Kinabalu. Kinabalu National Park is a forest reserve covering an area of 754 square kilometers. From Kota Kinabalu, it takes about two hours to drive to the National Park's main office at an altitude of 1,558. Here, the temperature in a day can vary from 13 to 20 degrees Celsius. Not only is this national park a favorite destination for mountain climbers, it is also visited by many nature lovers, whose main purpose is to watch birds, butterflies and observe the unique flora and fauna here. Here are rare "insect-eating" plants, wild orchid (orchid) and the world's largest flower, Rafflesia, which blooms up to 45 cm diagonally. The flora and fauna of Kinabalu National Park is very diverse, ranging from lowland rainforests to temperate forest oaks to high mountain pine and cypress trees. The more common way to visit the national park is to climb Mount Kinabalu, or you can follow the forest trails around the main office of the national park for an exploration tour. It takes 2 to 3 days to climb from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, and then back to the foot of the mountain, depending on the climate at that time and the physical fitness of the climbers. There are several rest stops along the way. About 40 kilometers from the Kinabalu National Park office, there is a Poring Hot Spring, which is a good place to relieve fatigue after climbing the arduous and steep mountains.

On the flight from KK to Sandakan, I had a sighting of the summit of Mount Kinabalu from the left side of the plane. It was quite covered in cloud on that day though.
Shenshan National Park is a very characteristic of many natural scenic spots in Kota Kinabalu. The area of the national park is very large, and some undeveloped landscapes are formed all year round. The number of plants here is very large and you can see a very good landscape.
There is a 4095-meter Southeast Asia's first peak, Sabah Shenshan, and the first world natural site in Malaysia. It is so beautiful that it is shocking! Shenshan 4 stations, each station is a different scenery, there is the same suspension bridge in Chiang Mai, there is an original ATV adventure, the last stop of the dairy farm, is also the highest, it looks very Alpine. At the same time, in this pure natural pasture, you can feed the cows yourself, or taste the freshest milk-flavored net red ice cream. Of course, the main purpose of our visit here is to experience paragliding. Personally, this is also the first time in my life that I have flown paragliding, and my heart is full of expectations. Because our group of four people reported a paragliding day tour group, when the tour guide takes you to the gathering point of take-off, there is a bunch of professional coaches to help you wear equipment and make a simple explanation, after this set is completed, silently wait for the wind. We had better weather and wind that day, about ten minutes, the wind started, the coach took me all the way to trot up. When I first flew up, I was a little nervous. After I flew completely high, I was full of joy and the comfort of achieving my wishes. I overlooked the panoramic view of the mountain in the air. I silently set up a flag in my heart. I must find a beach to fly paragliding next time. It took about 10 minutes to land slowly, which is indeed a rare experience in life. As our group of four landed one after another, the day trip paragliding tour was nearing the end. On the return trip, I think the beauty of Sabah is not only the island beach, but also the virgin forest and the peak mountain. It is called the sea in the world, this should be the best place to go to Southeast Asia.
this place beyond amazing u olls👏.korang yang nak tengok permandangan cantik,gunung kinabalu menghirup udara terpaling segar di alam semesta ahh korang datang la sini.banyak sangat yang boleh membuat mata korang terpukau tau
The last time I went abroad was before the epidemic, Sabah and Shenshan were good.
Shenshan is still good, go before the epidemic, you can go again
The beautiful forest, which is well preserved in good air and nature, is wonderful. However, the places we can go are limited and the content is weak, so it seems that we need to develop more tourist attractions to enjoy nature. It's not a ticket, it's a lot of small spending because it's always been asked to cut it off.
