Botanical Garden @Mount Kinabalu Park, Ranau
I am back again at Mount Kinabalu Park bringing my 2 Guangzhou girls from China. Previously I brought a group of Guilin girls here but too bad that we do not have enough time to go to the Botanical Garden. |
The other option is drive to the location which kills all the fun of enjoying the scenery and the environment. |
Either drive or walk, you need to pay RM3.00 for local and RM15.00 for foreigner. |
We decided to walk to enjoy the weather and the plants. |
And trees too! |
The landscape here are quite awesome as well. |
There is a BBQ hut for group activity to come here to do their little barbecue fun! However, the grilling place seems a little old and rusty. I wonder if there is still people using it. |
Not just walk, there are climbing to do too. Not really that bad...don't be too lazy. |
Along the road you will see a lot of trail like this. This will lead you to different mountains or hills. You need to have a guide for all this trail. |
Here we are at the Botanical Garden the entrance fee is RM4.00 for local and RM5.00 for foreigner. |
The walking path is well built. |
There are water stream from right from the mountain. The water is crystal clear and cold. |
I took a sip and it is cool and sweet. While the ladies decided to take a bottle back home. Haha...not sure if is clean but nothing happened to me though. |
Basically it is just walking around the park looking at wild plants. |
Some plants you will see the name and description to explain and let you learn more about the plants. |
Do not lay your hands on the plants there. You might not know if they are safe to touch or not especially plants with spiky thorns. |
The place is not really big though. It just took us 15 minutes top to take the whole trip. Nothing fancy and exciting for me. |
Still do not have the right mood to climb the Mount Kinabalu. Plenty of tourists has been there and persuading us must be there somehow but I am just not keen with mountain climbing. |
