Visiting Desa Cattle Dairy Farm, Kundasang during Sabah Trip

Image
After a cold, shivering and exciting night at Kinabalu Pine Resort , we checked out and went to Desa Cattle Dairy Farm to play with cows and goats.  Desa Cattle Dairy Farm is located at the foothills of Mount Kinabalu in Kundasang and took only around 15 minutes from Kinabalu Pine Resort.  When we reached, we saw this full view of Mount Kinabalu with clear sky. The cute baby sheep at Desa Cattle Dairy Farm The mighty Mount Kinabalu.  According to locals, Mount Kinabalu normally will be covered by cloud in the afternoon so the best time to shoot photo is in the morning. We reached Desa Cattle Dairy Farm and saw the cloud started to cover the Mount Kinabalu. Please follow this way if you want to see calf or young goat. On the way to see calves and young goats, we saw this group of cattle munching on green grass.  We mooed, jumped and waved but none of them seems interested with us. Imagine waking up everyday to the sea of green grass.  The grass field is very wide...

After we check in at  Kinabalu Pine Resort , we went to visit Poring Hot Spring & Nature Reserve.  This is actually our first location for our Sabah trip.  There are so many benefits of hot spring.  From what we normally heard, hot spring can help to eliminate toxin from the body, can heal many diseases and help our body to relax.  A quick Google bring me to this website which shows many benefits of hot springs: Enjoying hot spring at Poring Hot Spring, Sabah Poring is actually a small town near Ranau and Mount Kinabalu.  It has open-air and private cabin bath with hot spring that contains sulphur which is good for skin.  A lot of people came here to relax after climbed the Mount Kinabalu.  We came here just to try the hot springs and actually wanted to walk the suspension bridge / canopy walk.  However, we reached late and the entrance is closed at 4 pm.  From what I read, you may also get the chance to see  Rafflesia , which ...

The Kinabalu Pine Resort is our first night's accommodation during our trip in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah.  After eating delicious fish noodle at  Fatt Kee Fish Mixed at Kota Kinabalu, Sabah , we took around 2 hours to reach the resort.  Why it took so long to reach this resort?  It is because Kinabalu Pine Resort is situated near the Mount Kinabalu. Cabin at Kinabalu Pine Resort Kinabalu Pine Resort is a multi-award winning & privately run accommodation that caters to budget-conscious travelers.  All of their cabins have wide open porches that are facing the Mount Kinabalu.  But the most important for me, is the nice cold weather and I can use my new jacket bought from Taiwan . The small hut welcoming us to the Kinabalu Pine Resort.  It is surrounded by pines tree or known to us as Christmas tree.  This is the first time in my life to see so many real pines tree. So many tall and big pines tree!  A scene not easy to find in tropical...
