🌄 Sosodikon Hill: Where the Clouds Play Hide & Seek with Kinabalu!*

#kotakinabalutrip 5AM alarms are *never* fun—until you’re standing atop Sosodikon Hill watching the first golden light kiss Mount Kinabalu’s granite face. The morning mist swirled around us like lazy ghosts as the valley below woke up, with dairy farms and patchwork fields emerging from the darkness. **The magic moment?** When the clouds suddenly parted at sunrise, revealing Kinabalu in all its glory—our whole group gasped in unison! (Cue frantic camera clicks and someone yelling *"Ini betul lah!"*) **Secret spot:** The **hidden viewpoint** just 50m left of the main platform (follow the narrow dirt path). You’ll get the mountain all to yourself! **Must-eat:** Warm *sinalau bakas* (smoked wild boar) from roadside stalls on your way down—best reward for that 4:30AM wakeup call! 🍖 **Sunrise Itinerary:** ⏰ 4:30AM: Arrive (headlamps required!) ⏰ 5:00AM: Begin 15-min hike ⏰ 5:30AM: Claim your sunrise spot ⏰ 7:00AM: Breakfast with a view **Pro Tips:** - Wear thermals (it’s *cold* before dawn!) - Bring a mini tripod for steady shots - Check weather apps—clouds can be moody That heart-stopping moment when the mountain appears? Worth every sleepy eyelid. ✨ P.S. The toilet situation is... *very* rustic. Go before you come! 😅
