A Month in Malaysia # 1 - Beautiful Borneo

in #travel7 years ago (edited)

Hello, Steemians

Last year my boyfriend and I traveled to Malaysia for a month and I want to share my experience to you here. We flew to Kota Kinabalu on 17th of October 2017 after 3 months in Shanghai and we were so happy to go back to the trip. Kota Kinabalu is a small city of Malaysia in Borneo.Borneo is politically divided among three countries: Malaysia, Brunei, Indonesia.
When you travel to Borneo Malaysia, there are a bunch of places you must to see: Mount Kinabalu,Orangutans, rainforests, beaches. Our first stop was Kota Kinabalu and we spent 3 days there to explore the small city and here are our itinerary:

离开上海之后,于是我们就去了马来西亚--亞庇。相信很多朋友都知道这个地方,亚庇属于热带气候,终年夏天,我们去的时候是10月刚好是雨季。我们感觉很无奈,每次去旅游都是撞上雨季
17号的飞机,来到亞庇已经是18号的凌晨了。赶快打的到旅舍好好休息然后第二天才有精力去玩。

Day 1

On the 17th we flew to KK. Landed on 18th early morning.

Day 2

On the 18th we went exploring the town and enjoying the rain.
到处走走,爬山附近的小山顶府视这个小城市,真的很喜欢这个城市,很安静舒适。可惜这一天都在下雨,下午我们就去了咖啡厅看雨。

Day 3

On the 19th We joined the day tour package to Mount Kinabalu,Hot Spring and Market. Such a shitty tour and i don't suggest you to join it. It spent half way in the mini van and it was raining all day, so you can't go up to the mountain and only 30 mins stop in the Hot Spring so we just rest on the bench.

今天我们在旅舍报了一日游 神山公园+市集+温泉 这天下来,我们超级失望,三分之二的都在车上,路途太遥远了,加上又下雨又冷。本很期待的温泉也没有泡上,因为停留时间只有30分钟。

Day 4

On the 20th we took the bus to Sandakan. The road to Sandakan was nightmare to me. It's so bumpy and curvy and i felt sick the whole bus ride. Finally we had arrived there at 2pm and we checked in the hostel and explored the town a little bit.
