The mountain and the surrounding area make up the Kinabalu Park, a reserve covering an area of 754 sq km (291 sq miles). This park, which is only a two-hour drive from Kota Kinabalu,is home to an incredibly diverse range of flora and fauna, including the rafflesia, the largest flower in the world and the nepenthes (picther plant) and More than 1,000 species of orchids. There are two ways of exploring this nature's treasure trove. The More energetic and adventurous one can hike up the summit trail to the peak of Mount Kinabalu. The ascent and descent will take two days. Those with a More leisurely visit in mind could stay for a few days at the park's chalets .
Longhouse :D
You can see typical Longhouses in the northern and interior parts of Sabah as you journey away from the town. Each longhouse is divided into apartments for individual families. Cooking, weaving, beading and rice winnowing all take place within the longhouse. The Longhouses of the rungus people are located near kudat, three hours' drive north of Kota Kinabalu. It is possible to visit and even stay in these Longhouses. It is polite to repay their hospitality with gifts.
Mengkabong Water Village :D
Thirty minutes away from Kota Kinabalu is the famous Mengkabong village which is a remarkable sight - a village built on water. The houses are built on stilts and connected by narrow, wooden planks, the houses extend further out to seal.
