走完Silau-Silau森林步道，婆婆去陪公公，我們倆跟著Roy去參觀植物園。簡單地走了一圈，我們就去園區的Balsam餐廳享用自助午餐。
After jungle trekking, we visited the botanical garden of Kinabalu Park. Then, it’s time for lunch at Balsam Buffet Restaurant. Continue reading
面積佔754平方公里的神山公園，涵蓋四個不同的氣候區，從熱帶植物到寒帶植物都有，擁有超過4,500種動植物，為世界上少有的生態研究天堂，亦為馬來西亞第一個被列入世界自然遺產的地方。來神山就算不登山，公園內也有幾條森林步道，讓遊客體驗下神山的生態環境。Silau-Silau步道（黃泥步道）介於海拔1,600-1,700米高，可由高處往低處走到植物園，也可逆向走。因公公行動有些不便，我們讓司機帶他去步道的另一頭休息、喝咖啡，我們三個則跟著Roy從高往低走。值得一提的是，雖然這步道對婆婆來說很具挑戰性，但至今還給婆婆留下了非常難忘的回憶。
Kinabalu Park is the first UNESCO World Heritage Site of Malaysia. It covers an area of 754 square kilometres surrounding Mt. Kinabalu and 4 different climate zones. It’s one of the most important biological sites in the world with more than 4,500 species of flora and fauna, including 326 bird and around 100 mammal species, and over 110 land snail species. Although we’re not going to climb Mt. Kinabalu, we still can trekking in the park to observe the beauty of the nature. Silau-Silau Trail is located in between 1,600m to 1,700m above sea level, with vegetation of lower montane rainforest. We took the chance to trek on this trail descending. It’s quite challenging for Diny, but she made it and gained a wonderful memory for this trip. Continue reading
吃過早餐，我們整裝待發，迎接第二天的行程：上午參觀昆達山蔬菜市場、神山的Timpohon登山口、走Silau-Silau森林步道，下午折返亞庇。
After breakfast, we’re ready for the programs of 2nd day: visiting Kundasang Market, Timpohon Gate and Silau-Silau Trail at Kinabalu Park, and back to KK in the afternoon. Continue reading
第二天，早起看日出。松林渡假村在神山的南面，日出後，先是看到斜陽映照，然後在慢慢地照亮整個神山。我從廣角到長鏡都用上了，就為了把神山拍個仔細。2015年地震，山體受損，還留下許多石壁剝落、落石的痕跡。我們還打算再爬一次神山、爭取攻頂，至於何年何日，還有待計劃。
The next morning, I woke up early to shot the sunrise and morning look of Mt. Kinabalu. Our resort is located at the south of Mt. Kinabalu. The sun shines slowly from side to whole mountain. After the earthquake in 2015, a lot of damages occurred and can be seen by naked eyes. Anyway, we still plan to climb Mt. Kinabalu again and try to reach its highest peak. Continue reading
這晚，我們在昆達山的神山松林渡假村過夜。這渡假村位於海拔約1300米高的山區，面向神山，景觀奇佳。晚上用了晚餐後，我們就提早休息了。
This evening, we stayed at Kinabalu Pine Resort (1,300 m), Kundasang. This resort is faced to Mt. Kinabalu, with excellent views of mountain area. Continue reading
從樹冠吊橋回來，我們趕緊在蝴蝶園閉園前，跟婆婆去參觀一下。
Back from canopy walk, we’re rushing to visit the butterfly garden immediately before its closing time of 16 pm. Continue reading
Poring Hot Spring是溫泉旅遊區，離神山國家公園總部約40公里。Poring是當地昆達山語一種竹的名稱，因這裡有很多這種竹而成了地名。這園區內可以泡溫泉，還有樹冠吊橋、蝴蝶園等景點。我們在熱帶雨林餐廳享用午餐，公公婆婆不想跑溫泉，我們也興致缺缺，於是決定讓兩老在餐廳看書休息、享受熱帶雨林景觀。我們就去走175米長、40米高的樹冠吊橋，這是巴特第二次挑戰這吊橋，走了幾步後還是放棄了，變成本女士一個人走完吊橋。
Poring is located about 40 km south-east of the Kinabalu Park HQ, and its name comes from a local word for a bamboo species found in the area. Poring is known for its hot spring, and also other tourist spots such as Butterfly Farm, Canopy Walkway etc. We have had our lunch at the Rainforest Restaurant. Then, Wim and Diny decided to reading and relaxing at restaurant, and we went to challenge the canopy walkway. Bart tried this for the second time but he gave up after few steps, thus, I did it alone. Continue reading
離開Tamparuli，我們朝Poring溫泉區前進，中途在Nabalu休息，全程耗了二個小時半。
Leaving Tamparuli, we’re heading to Poring Hot Spring, with a short break at Nabalu. The whole journey took about 2.5 hours. Continue reading
離亞庇約半個小時車程的Tamparuli，是我們今天往神山行程的第一站。走過跨越Kiulu河的吊橋，我們到該鎮的中央市集、去看看當地的土產。
On the way to Mt. Kinabalu, Tamparuli was our first stop. We got to pass the Tamparuli Suspension Bridge, a famous bridge across Kiulu River. Then, we ended up at the local market at the opposite. Our guide Roy has given us a tour through the market with some introductions about their local food and products. Continue reading
離開美里後，我們第一個行程就是亞庇五天四夜遊。為了給公公婆婆個舒適的旅程，我直接選了Amazing Borneo（官網）的兩個配套：神山兩天一夜遊及亞庇出海一日遊。第一天早上，我們六點多從美里出發，經納閩到亞庇。然後，旅遊小巴直接到機場接機，開始神山兩天一夜遊的行程。
Now, we’re going to Kota Kinabalu for a 5 days 4 nights trip. To ensure a relaxing tour for Wim and Diny, we have decided to take tour packages of Amazing Borneo (official website), with combined of a 2D1N Mount Kinabalu Tour and a 1D Islands Tour. This morning, we departed at 6:15 from Miri. After arriving at KK, we’re picked up directly from airport and started with our tour to Mount Kinabalu. Continue reading
天下沒有不散的筵席，轉眼就來到我們在美里停留的最後一天。因為我們坐的是次日早晨六點的班機離開，所以，中午就先回家跟爸媽一起吃頓午飯、告別，讓公公婆婆有足夠的時間收拾行李、晚上提早休息。
All good things come to an end. This’s the last day in Miri already, and we would move on to K.K. the next day at 6 am. Therefore, we visited my parents for lunch as farewell, to let Wim and Diny have an easy time later to prepare for their coming trip. Continue reading
為了方便，我們在週末安排了聚餐，邀請親戚齊集一堂，介紹遠道而來的親家給大家“打個相識”。
To introduce Bart’s parents to my relatives, we have organized this family dinner at restaurant, instead of visiting them individually. Continue reading
