Poring
Hot Springs
 Located
around the east side of Mount Kinabalu and some 43km from the Kinabalu
National Park is the Poring Hot Springs (also part of the Kinabalu Park).
Here, you can enjoy a soothing bath in the many Japanese-style bathtubs
filled with warm mineral-rich running water from the depths of the earth.
The water contains sulfur, known for its curative properties in curing
skin problems. There is also a well-landscaped garden and chalets that
offer comfortable accommodation.
Flora
Besides the exhilarating
experience of conquering the mountain, Kinabalu Park is known for the
abundance and diversity of its plant life within one of the world's most
ancient vegetation in the world. There are over 1200 species of wild orchids
and 40 varieties of oak in its forests, not to mention the countless varieties
of rhododendrons with blooms raging in hue from deep red to pale pink
and white. Masses of moss and ferns weigh down the trees of the Montane
oak forest of the upper regions. Flowers are to be seen everywhere; on
the trees, in the shrubs, along the river banks, on the forest floor,
and even peeping out of the rocky crevices of the summit.

Water Rafting

seekers who enjoy the heart stopping, gut wrenching excitement of shooting
