Green Land

Few places beat Sabah, the Land Below the Wind, for the eco-loving traveller. With its wealth of natural offerings that range from mountains to seas, jungle and wildlife, Diana Khoo checks out the top things to do while in Kota Kinabalu.

What: The car rounds a headland and, suddenly, I see it: Gunung Kinabalu. I’ve heard that the mountain may choose to hide itself, as it often does, amidst swathes of clouds. But, today, we are fortunate to get stunning views of South-East Asia’s highest peak – craggy and forbidding, and with a palpable mystical air. Kinabalu is, without doubt, the icon for the state of Sabah in Malaysian Borneo. Its silhouette forms part of the state flag and many people travel from all corners of the world to summit it or simply bask in its shadow within the magnificent Kinabalu Park.
