Day Trip to Kinabalu Park & Poring Spring

We went for a day tour to Kinabalu Park and Poring Spring. The weather was not cold at all and I was wearing a long sleeve with me. I thought it was like Genting Highland or Cameron Highland before going there.

This was my second visit to Kinabalu Park. My first visit was when I was 5 years old. The journey took about 2 and half hours from Kota Kinabalu City. We stopped by at a local souvenir shop halfway to Kinabalu Park. A lot of souvenir items were actually imported from Cambodia and Vietnam. The price is much more expensive than those in Cambodia.

We were considered quite lucky as we managed to see the Rafflesia. Locals said that it will bring luck to us after we saw it.

I didn't aware that we were suppose to walk up to the mountain. Therefore, I was wearing high heels with me. It was really challenging to walk up the mountain for an hour journey with a pair of high heels sandals. I was proud of myself of being able to do it :P

End of the journey.
