         <description><![CDATA[<div>Located at the foot of Mount Kinabalu, Kundasang is an area that will most likely be cloudy on sunny days. The mundane weather triggers a somewhat demotivating ambience, and residents may prefer to stay in bed rather than yearn for a day out. Though, random, impulsive trips are exciting, often exhilarating even for the locals. That split second decision could either be a huge success or a disappointing failure. Regardless of the fact, one could simply pack up their necessities and head to the many interesting sight-seeing destinations present in Kundasang.<br><br></div><div>On the 20<sup>th </sup>of January 2022, my family and I had the opportunity to visit some of these places. The first location that we visited was the Tambiau Forest House. This site was and is still a huge tourist attraction. Hiking enthusiasts often come with the hopes of experiencing nature in its most authentic form whilst challenging themselves to reach the peak. Early birds could head to the venue as early as 5.30 A.M. to catch the beautiful sunrise view. Those who have experienced this trail could begin their hike earlier, whereas first timers such as ourselves would gather along with other individuals to climb the hill together with the supervision of the respected tour guide.&nbsp;<br><br></div><div>Though I myself and some others may not be athletic, the hike itself was rather pleasant, as the route was straight and easy to conquer. An aspect that one should take into consideration before visiting the place is that fashionable sneakers would not help you walk on the steep, slippery muddy pathway. It’s important to use suitable footwear before attempting to hike the hill. After approximately 40 minutes, visitors should arrive at the peak. There lies various types of ‘treehouses’ and swings that are open for public use. Some of the treehouses lack walls and roof, similar to those you see in children’s movies. You just can’t resist to climb on one and take a picture as a memento!<br><br>After eating homemade and or café food while resting for a sufficient amount of time, hikers could either stay for a beautiful barbeque night-out or start their journey back. Going downhill from the rise is easier than proceeding uphill. Thus, it took us about 30 minutes to arrive at the starting point.&nbsp;<br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Those who are still rather energetic from the hike could stop by another location before calling it a day. That location being the infamous Culvert View. It takes around 15 minutes by car from Tambiau Forest House onset to arrive at the designated place. It was shocking as it was situated in the middle of a village, but that is to be expected in Kundasang. The air was fresh and the food was affordable, though the car park was very inconvenient. I don’t suggest those who just received their car license to drive there because even experienced drivers find it difficult to park. Nevertheless, you could definitely fully enjoy your visit, specifically by yet again, taking pictures on the ‘sky mirror’.&nbsp;<br><br>All in all, a trip to Kundasang will be endlessly thrilling, as there are so many spots to visit and choose from. Whether you are a local, foreigner, or a tourist, there are 101 reasons as to why Kundasang should be the number one location of your staycation.&nbsp;<br><br></div>]]></description>
