Mount Kinabalu Botanical Garden

Reviewed By YUANSIANG - London, United Kingdom

Family + a 2yr old had a good time at the gardens. An enjoyable walk amongst the lush greenery. Enjoyed the sounds of the streams throughout the garden, and various flowers and plants around. If you have an interest in plants it is highly recommended that you engage a local guide from the gardens as they will be able to tell you about the various plants and very importantly point-out to you the rare plants and flowers that are around. The entrance fee is RM10 per adult.

Monsopiad Cultural Village

Monsopiad Heritage Village is a traditional village with historical site in the heartland of the Kadazandusun people and it is the only cultural village in Sabah built to commemorates the life and time of the legendary Kadazan and head-hunter warrior "Monsopiad". The direct descendants of Monsopiad, his 6th and 7th generations have build the village on the very land where Monsopiad lived and roamed some three centuries ago to remember their forefather, and to give you an extraordinary insight into their ancient and rich culture. Take a step back into the past, to the days of head hunting and spirit worshipping, when the Bobohizan (High Priestess of the Kadazandusun), ruled the villages and took care of health and spiritual well-being of their people. More than just a Museum, the concept of the Monsopiad Heritage Village is to document, revive and preserve the cultures and traditions, as well as the beliefs of the Kadazandusun people. Monsopiad Heritage Village is privately owned and managed by his direct descendants. Your visit at Monsopiad Heritage Village contribute directly to the conservation of one Malaysia's rich Cultural heritages and traditions.

Atkinson Clock Tower

Reviewed By jenniemgc - Philippines, null

Tick Tock! The clock still works til’ to day from the day it was erected. It surely is a good spot for memories. I was told that there was a great mess in Kota Kinabalu back in the days but, Atkinson Clock Tower is still standing tall.
