Poring Hot Springs

We made a detour to the Poring Hot Springs before returning to Kota Kinabalu. The highlight of the visit was the 172-metre canopy walk. At first we thought: what...more climbing involved?? Yes, before we could enjoy the canopy walk, we'd have to climb to the tree top first, wouldn't we? But please don't get the wrong impression. We did not climb any tree. We simply had to climb a trail to get us to the canopy walk. And I tell you, it was well worth the climb despite our weary legs.


After all, where else could we have enjoyed a steamy hot, relaxing bath after a walk which took us about 100 feet above ground level than at Poring? At RM15 per room, we have an hour of privacy all to ourselves. Only snag was, it would be very difficult to last one whole hour in the hot tub. Yuen Chee was saying, why didn't we think of sharing the room, each of us occupying it for half an hour? Good idea!

Anyway, this is the public bath area at the Poring Hot Springs. Even Mat Sallehs come here for a long soak:


Stay tuned for Part Four.
