Sabah Malaysia tourism
INTRODUCTION (OVERWIEW)

Situated on the beautiful island of Borneo, Sabah is one of the thirteen states which Malaysia is made of. Sabah is the second largest state in Malaysia and shares the island of Borneo with Sarawak, Brunei, and Indonesian Kalimantan.
Sabah is richly blessed with nature diversity, unique cultures, fun adventure, beautiful beaches, and fantastic cuisines for the adventurous taste buds. We have it all, from the world’s largest flower - the Rafflesia, one of the highest mountains in South East Asia - Mount Kinabalu, to one of the world’s top dive sites - Sipadan Island. Sabah is also known for her great natural treasures which include the world-renowned Danum Valley Conservation Area and Tabin which is Sabah’s largest wildlife reserve.
Not only will you be amazed by the places to see and things to do here, you will also be treated with unique Sabahan hospitality. Explore the unique culture and tradition of Sabah and get ready to experience sweet memories to last a lifetime! Sabah is often referred to as the "Land Below The Wind", a phrase used by seafarers in the past to describe lands south of thetyphoon belt.

The tourist industry of Sabah has matured and has been expanding in recent times, but still the state is successful in maintaining the virginity of its flora, fauna and its beaches.
Mt. Kinabalu, the highest mountain in South East Asia at 4,101 meters is also situated in Sabah. The region is also known for some very rare and protected, endangered species, including the Sumatran Rhinoceros, the Orang-Utan, the Mousedeer, the Flying Squirrel and the Barking deer. Considered a 'botanical heaven', it contains some of the rarest plants on earth, such as the smelly Rafflesia.
Be it the tropical rainforests, luscious beaches, delicious Malaysian cuisine, or the welcoming spirit of the Malayan people, Sabah is a place where nature and man come together to form paradise.

    The national parks that make up the heritage site are all located on the spine of the Bukit Barisan Mountains, known as the Andes of Sumatra.

    This is a kind of a love story. There is a Malay saying tak kenal maka tak cinta which has been used for the tourist promotion song, "to know Malaysia is to love Malaysia" and the Sarawak version should be "to know Sarawak is to love Sarawak". Undoubtedly to know the history of Sarawak is to love Sarawak. For the historians it is not that simple as falling in love. In the case for Sarawak we do not know where and when to begin. Sarawak has a fairly rich historiography, thanks to the Brooke. But unfortunately the present historiography of Sarawak begins with the Brunei Rule as the background for the Brooke period. My lecturer in the university, James Ongkili taught me this approach and in one of his articles he says:…

    In Malaysia, I would like to visit the Nexus resort. The resort is situated between the Rainforests and a beautiful sandy beach the whole island and they offer services such as wildlife scenery, Beauty and the cultural diversity that Malaysia has to offer. Before we reached the Nexus resort, I had a chance of visiting the wild life scenery and saw different species of life that the world has to offer from a trip to the rainforest. The beaches gave a good view of the sun setting. The rainforest makes the sea coast warm by blocking winds that would cause a cold effect to the beach and this has made the environment suitable for a tourism attraction site. At the resort I also had a chance to play golf with people from different societies and it was very enjoyable. The golf courses are wide and distributed so there is no congestion.…

    Lush. Greenery. Justice. Freedom. Singapore, to me, means a lot more. What may seem to be a normal piece of rock to one, might seem like gold to another. We have to see Singapore as gold, treasure, and value it. The world is filled with uniqueness and differences. Singapore, being a little red dot, is filled with her own uniqueness. Although life in Singapore is hectic, it is filled with the pleasure of people and the contentment of solitude. Life in Singapore is balanced with both good and bad things.…

    There are so many nice places scattered across the country. Every place has its own distinct features. I have visited so many places of scenic beauty and tourist interest. But the visit which has a lasting impression on my mind is the visit of Sarawak’s Mount Mulu National Park. It is the most beautiful place I have ever seen. It is said to be the heaven on earth. It has the accolade of being “the most spectacular caves on earth”. The complex network of vast caves were formed over millennia the flow of water draining from the slopes of Mount Mulu towards the sea has cut deep gorges through the Park’s limestone mountains and, within the rock itself. I was wonderstruck to see the ravishing beauty of the Mulu Caves. Mount Mulu National Park is one of the most bewitching places on earth. It has been a great attraction for the tourists all across the country and abroad as well.…
