Kinabalu National Park
The region was designated as a national park in 1964. British colonial administrator and naturalist Hugh Low led an expedition from Tuaran to the region in 1895. He also became the first recorded man to reach the peak of Mount Kinabalu.[2] The highest peak of the mountain was later named after him—Low's Peak. This is the Most Attractive Place, named Kinabalu National Park . This Park is administered by an organization called Sabah Parks.

The Tip Of Borneo - Simpang Mengayau
This dramatic headland is situated in the northern-most tip of
BORNEO,
the third largest island in the world,
after Greenland and New Guinea. It is located in the Kudat Peninsula,
about three and a half hours (or 215 kilometres) drive from Kota
Kinabalu City.
Simpang Mengayau means '
lingering junction'
as it is here that the South China Sea lingers and meets the Sulu Seas
flowing from the east ... Enjoy the stunning view. The sunsets and full
moons are just beautiful ... The
Pulau Kalampunian
lighthouse is a reminder of treacherous coastline and past shipwrecks.
On the left is the beautiful beach of Pantai Kalampunian.
It's a lovely easy stroll to the flagpole, the Globe and the rocky outcrop that forms the
"Tip of Borneo".
