DAY TWO
31 MAY 2013 (FRIDAY)
I promised you in my first blog post that this second blog post will mainly talk about nature.
And so, here we are, in Poring Hot Spring.
Poring Hot Spring as according to local sources has the ability to de-stress and soak away the sores and aches of our muscles due to its richness in sulfuric minerals. The hot spring is well maintained and is very clean and organized.
 |
| Welcome Sign! :) |
 |
| Surrounded by greens, clean and well-organized, you can even book private hot spring rooms! But its First Come First Serve (FIFO) basis |
However, as I mentioned earlier, its super peak season and we didn't manage to enjoy the hot spring. Luckily, we still manage to proceed with the canopy walk.
Note: The canopy walkway is 157.7 meters long and 41 meters high.
 |
| On the way to Canopy Walk! |
 |
| We passed-by a bridge |
 |
| Almost reaching the canopy! |
 |
| There are 5 check points for the canopy, this is the first! |
 |
| Only max 6 persons are allowed to be on the bridge each time |
After the canopy challenge, we walked further down to the waterfall which taken 15-20 minutes.
 |
| Nice avenue :) |
 |
| We reached the waterfall! Time for some splash! |
You can stay whole day at Poring Hot Spring as it is very big! Apart from the hot spring, canopy and waterfall, you can explore the butterly farm, Poring Orchid Conservation Cente, Tropical gardens etc. So much to explore. If only you have all the time :)
For more information on the entrance fees for the activities inside Poring Hot Spring, refer to the link below.
After a day of nature, we finally decided to check-in at Horizon Hotel. Horizon Hotel is a good place to stay as it is at the city center. All the major banks, pharmacies, polyclinic are just walking distance. Needless to mention about the night life, abundance selection of food and shopping malls (ie. Suria Sabah Shopping Mall).
 |
| Spacious and comfy beds |
 |
| The Main Entrance... Notice the horse? |
Note: Famous eating place to explore are Double Luck Restaurant, Sinalau Bakas and Gayang Seafood Restaurant.
