藍洞是姆魯四個觀光石洞中最小的一個，但她的石灰岩景觀絕對值得一覽。
Lang’s Cave is the smallest of the show caves but its rock formations are well worth seeing. These are made all the more attractive by the strategically positioned spotlights which highlight stalactites and stalagmites. As the cave is relatively small and well-lit, it offers good opportunities to see some of its inhabitations such as bats, swiftlets and even cave-dwelling snakes. – from mulunationalpark.com Continue reading
我們參觀姆魯國家公園的行程都由Borneo Tropical Adventures（簡稱TA）安排。第一天下午去參觀藍洞和鹿洞，第二天早上參觀風洞和清水洞，這是純旅遊不變的走法，因為至今只有四個岩洞有完善的步道讓遊客有個輕鬆的旅程。想探險的人，可以選擇攀爬石峰（光攀峰就至少要三天兩夜），或是岩洞內的探險路線（良好的體能和心理素質，及基本的攀岩功夫是必要的）。姆魯國家公園的官方網站（點此）有提供更多景觀和玩法介紹。這輯照片是第一天下午往兩個岩洞的沿途景色。
Our tour was organized by Borneo Tropical Adventures (TA). As we only have chosen for 2D1N show caves programme, the activities were visiting Lang Cave and Deer Cave at first day’s afternoon, and visiting Wind Cave and Clearwater Cave in the next day morning. Untill nowadays, there are only 4 show caves open to tourists to explore the beauty of Mulu National Park in easy way. For those who like to have adventure experience, there are challenging activities such as adventure caving and the Pinnacles trail. At the official website of Mulu National Park (click here), you can obtain more information about this UNESCO heritage site and the ways to explore it leisurely and/or with challengings. These are the photos on the way to Lang’s Cave and Deer Cave.

Mulu Marriott Resort & Spa位於姆魯國家公園邊沿，是在熱帶森林中的五星級享受。她的前身是經營了20年的Mulu Royal Resort， 在2015年被納入萬豪國際Marriott International旗下後，重新包裝，以新的面貌提供頂級的酒店服務（相關新聞連結）。雖然姆魯的廉價住宿（Lodge）越來越多，我們此程還是選擇了星級酒店。我們三個人住一間房，含早餐。午餐和晚餐則是由旅行社安排到對岸的小餐廳吃合菜。這輯全是在Mulu Marriott拍的照片。
Mulu Marriott Resort & Spa is located next to UNESCO heritage Mulu National Park, a place where you can enjoy 5-stars luxury in tropical forest. Formerly known as Mulu Royal Resort for 20 years, this resort has been renovated and transformed into Mulu Marriott after becoming a member of Marriott International in 2015. We stayed here for one night, and these are the pictures taken at this beautiful resort.

續尼亞石洞之後，重頭戲來了：姆魯國家公園的兩天一夜遊。這是本人第四次去姆魯（是有點多，很多美里人都沒去過說），上次是2010年跟巴特去的，這次有湘群和大妹同行。因為往返美里姆魯的班機有限，去姆魯得早訂票，不然向隅的機率很高。也因為班次有限，機票價錢也跟著水漲船高，來回從馬幣300起跳。這輯是從美里到姆魯的照片。
This’s my fourth tour to Mulu, and last time was in 2010 with Bart. Together with XiangQun and Jessie, we have taken a 2D1N trip due to limited time. These’re the pictures from Miri to Mulu.

繼續我們尼亞石洞之旅。
Let’s continue our Niah Cave trip.

上回是2005年跟巴特和好友運發一起來尼亞石洞，相隔十二年，這次舊地重遊，依然被這岩洞的壯觀氣魄所震撼。數數這應該是第五次造訪在鼎鼎有名的燕洞（因為產燕窩，本地人都叫它燕洞），亦是走得最慢、照片拍的最多的一次。可惜我們這四個女人被伸手不見五指、前後沒有他人的路段給嚇住，最後沒堅持走到壁畫洞，不然就是一套完整的尼亞石洞介紹。
This’s my 5th visiting to Niah Cave, and I am still fascinated by those amazing masterpieces of nature. This time, I did slow down my speed to take more pictures in dark caves. It’s a pity that we couldn’t make it to Painted Cave, and left a missing piece in this wonderful trip. Continue reading
尼亞石洞有四萬年前的原始人遺骸和約1200年前的壁畫，是考古學家的天堂，也以產燕窩和旅遊業遠近馳名（參考維基）。既然湘群來美里玩，當然得帶她到著名的尼亞國家公園走走，開啟了她東馬自然之旅的第一炮。
Niah National Park is a popular tourist spot in Sarawak. It is an important prehistorical site for archaeology where human remains dating to 40,000 years ago and rock paintings dated as 1,200 years old have been found (wikipedia). As this is the virgin trip of XiangQun to Sarawak, we have to introduce her this unmissable location for sure. Continue reading
來遊吉膽村了。
Let’s discover the beauty of Pulau Ketam.
Continue reading
吉膽島（Pulau Ketam），馬來文名字的直譯就是“螃蟹島”（Pulau=島，Ketam=螃蟹）。此島位於雪蘭莪州巴生港外，面積約30平方公里，居民約九千人，以華人居多。因為全島位於潮汐線下，所以建築物都建在高腳柱子上。這裡以漁業為重，也是著名的旅遊景點（參考維基）。說到吉膽島，老馬識途的都去吃新鮮的海鮮，我們當然也不例外了。這是去年去吉膽島拍的照片，既然已經挑了就貼上了吧！
Pulau Ketam (Pulau=Island, Ketam=Crab) is a famous tourist spot of Selangor, Malaysia, and it is located nearby Port Klang. The locals are mainly Chinese. There are two Chinese villages on the island, and fishing is the major economic activity here. Due to its location at intertidal zone, the buildings are on wooden (or cement) pillars. Nowadays, Pulau Ketam is also an unique spot to visit for culture and seafood. This’s our trip in 2016, but as the photos were selected already, I update this aging post as well to recall our visiting to this island. Continue reading
下午三點半，我們到了沙壩市場前的長途巴士站，心驚膽跳地拿著在河內領的收據去確認回程的位子。四點正，我們的巴士準時開車。雖然回程的景色更來程一樣，但還是很賞心悅目。晚上十點半，我們回到河內，到酒店附近的小餐廳吃了晚餐（宵夜？），就回酒店休息，準備第二天去陶瓷村淘寶。
We arrived Sapa bus station at 15:30pm, and confirmed our bus tour back to Hanoi. Our bus departed at 16pm on time. It took 6,5 hours until we finally arrived our hotel in Hanoi. We decided to have our dinner nearby our hotel and went to bed early, to prepare for the tour to Bat Trang Ceramic Village the next day.
