Kundasang

Decent Chinese dinner, very fast service.

Opt for a sunrise hiking package at 3am for 2 person (RM 230 could be shared among 5 person). The journey is about 3.3km one way, taking less than 2 hours to reach the top. The view is quite magnificent on the observation deck, probably due to the good weather. Sunrise, sea of cloud and a great view of Mount Kinabalu.

Enjoy local dusun dishes, linopot rice. Also ayam kicap and salai ayam, with local vegetables. The meal is pretty good, linopot rice is good.

A tiny house homestay, which is quite tiny (not good for movement and luggage), but fun and unique as well. There are some house rules like no shoes in door (yet no safe place to keep shoes outdoor), and a list of banned fruit (mangoes, mangosteen, etc.) to be consumed indoor. The place is within a village, with plenty of other homestays, and a good view of Mount Kinabalu.

Need to pre book tickets online during covid, but luckily the process is fairly easy on a phone. Though the farm is quite big, but you can hardly spot any cows. If you do spot them, all of them are at the same spot. We book the morning session, so only interaction with the cows are feeding the little cows and goats. The barn are closed due to maintenance, and milking is done in the afternoon session. The area of visit is fairly small, so you go for the ice-cream and enjoy the view.

Ticket is RM 15 per person, with only 20 minutes with the animal. You need to pay more to buy food to feed them. They only let one alpaca out, so you get to touch it and take photos. The alpaca is very fluffy and cute, just that they don't care much for human. Still a fun experience.

The road to place is very bumpy. It is about 15 minutes hike to the platform. It could be very hot during noon, with a tiny place to hide from the sun, and a toilet as well. The place does offer a 360 views of the surrounding, and the rainbow platform makes it a great instagram spot.
