Get close to the jagged granite peaks of the highest mountain in Southeast Asia, Mount Kinabalu (4095 metres), towering above one of the most biologically diverse areas in the world, the Kinabalu National Park. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Kinabalu National Park is a natural wonder that offers visitors a glimpse into the fascinating, and often unique, world of plant and animal life within the park. Take a guided nature walk along one of the Park's various graded trails. Visit the Exhibit Centre and Mountain Garden and learn about some of the natural wonders of the park or enjoy a completely different perspective of the forest by taking the Canopy Walk (100 - 200 feet above the forest floor).
The hot springs of Poring in the Kinabalu National Park are another major tourist attraction in Malaysia. Named after a species of giant bamboo that grows in the area, the sulphur hot springs provide a therapeutic bath and marked trails lead to small waterfalls and caves.
