Kota Kinabalu's famous North Borneo Steam Locomotive Tour and Tiffin Lunch Box

2018.09 #Kota Kinabalu ( #kotakinabalu ) Travel While preparing for my trip to Kota Kinabalu, I found a rather unique tour product. It was the #NorthBorneoSteamLocomotiveTour!! I couldn't help but book it right away because it was so attractive to ride a steam locomotive that burns wood to move through the jungles of Sabah, see small cities, and even eat #tiffin lunch boxes on the train. On the day of the trip, I went to Tanjung Aru Station to exchange tickets and start the tour. I was even more excited when I saw the front locomotive trying to maximize its output by putting wood into the furnace before departure. The interior of the passenger car that I entered was decorated in a way that really showed what classic beauty was. Of course, it was a shame that there was a fan instead of air conditioning. Anyway, it was a round trip course that started from Tanjung Aru Station, stopped at Kinnarut Station in the middle, arrived at the final destination, Papar Station, and followed this route. It was fun to experience the local market, buy simple snacks, and briefly get a glimpse into the lives of the locals. But the most important thing was the tiffin lunch box on the way back. I opened the tiffin lunch box that looked like an old 4-tier lunch box made of stainless steel and had lunch. It tasted good, and I felt great because it seemed like Malaysian sentiment was exploding. Well... It was a bit boring in the latter half because I had to ride a slow train without air conditioning for more than 4 hours round trip, but it was also a disadvantage that I had to devote about 3/4 of my day's schedule, but it was definitely worth riding it at least once. #Malaysia #MalaysiaTravel #KotaKinabaluTravel #malaysia #malaysiatrip #kotakinabalutrip #马来西亚 #马来西亚旅游 #哥打京那巴鲁 #哥打京那巴鲁旅游

[Parasailing in Kota Kinabalu🛥] I really wanted to do parasailing, so I did it at Kota Kinabalu Mamutik Island Tour😃 Since it was a same-day reservation, I went to Jesselton Point early and took the 9:30 boat. Since the number of reservations and the boat schedule are different for each window, it is important to choose the right window!! Before I went, I had already thought about which island I would go to, whether I would do the Nanamun tour, what activities I would do, whether I would eat, whether I would rent life jackets or snorkeling equipment, etc., and I went there to easily make a reservation after thinking about the expected price. After haggling over the price I wanted at Jesselton Point, I was able to get on the boat at the pier on time and arrive at Mamutik Island in about 15 minutes, cutting through the sea. And then parasailing!!!!!! The safety officer on the boat kept saying "Pongdang Pongdang Mani Mani" ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Even after riding it, it was so fun that I booked another ride 😍 About 30,000 won was gone in 10-15 minutes, but I think it was worth it. Parasailing is so great 💙 After parasailing, I ate the cup ramen I brought in advance in the shade of the beach, played in the water, and played. It was heaven! I recommend Mamutik as a close island to go from Kota Kinabalu. The water was clear and there weren't many people because we went early, so it was nice😊 ​ #kota kinabalu travel #southeast asia travel #malaysia #kota kinabalu #southeast asia #vacation spot #mamutik island #mamutik #island tour #kota kinabalu island tour #parasailing #kotakinabalu #malaysia #mamutik #mamutikisland #life travel destination #with nature #new year travel #travel guidebook #next time here #2019 travel #life shot spot #life travel destination #year end travel #vacation travel #winter travel

[The prettiest Mengalum Island in Kota Kinabalu🧚🏻] An island tour is a must in Kota Kinabalu! That's the only way to enjoy the beautiful ocean and activities😀 I was planning to go on an island tour twice, so the first time I chose Mengalum Island where you can snorkel in the beautiful ocean. The places you usually go on an island tour from Kota are Sapi, Gaya, Manukan, Mamutik, and sometimes Sepanggar, and Mantanini Island, which is far away but has much clearer water than the other islands. However, the island I found after beating out all of these islands was Mengalum Island!!!!! I am so proud and honored to have found this place..🥰 I hope you choose Mengalum Island for your Kota Island tour after reading my post~ 📍 Let's summarize the pros and cons of Mengalum Island - Pros 1. Unlike other islands, the water is very clear 2. There is a limit to the number of visitors per day on the island (not crowded) 3. The beach is very pretty 4. It is not well known to Koreans yet 5. It looks cleaner than the shower rooms on other islands - Cons 1. It is a Chinese private property, so there are many Chinese tourists --> However, there is a limit to the number of visitors on the island itself, so it's okay. 2. It takes a long time to get to the island (4-50 minutes one way) --> But the boat is as bumpy as a roller coaster, so it might be difficult for the scared or the elderly. --> Mantanini Island is 1 hour 30 minutes to 2 hours one way, but this is shorter. 3. There are no activities. Snorkeling only --> It might be a disadvantage for those who only play in the water or like activities during the trip, but it was okay because we planned to do activities on a nearby island on another day. 4. Data does not work. --> It was okay because we went there and snorkeled, took pictures, and played for a short time rather than using our phones. ​ #Kota KinabaluTravel #Kota Kinabalu #Malaysia #SoutheastAsiaTravel #MengAlum #MengAlumIsland #Kota KinabaluIslandTour #VacationPlace #LifeTravelPlace #WithNature #kotakinabalu #malaysia #NextTimeHere#NewYearTravel#TravelGuideBook#2019Travel#LifeShotPlace#LifeTravelPlace#YearEndTravel#VacationTravel#WinterTravel
