D3 – Tamparuli Suspension Bridge & Monsopiad Cultural Village

Stories of Day1 & Day 2 can view by Click Here. Day 3 in Sabah was a sunny day. We visited many places. One car seated by 6 persons, travelled all the way in Kota Kinabalu. In Sabah, have to practice their talking intonation, sentence always ended with ba…. Ba… ba…. In Sabah, you can see dogs are everywhere by the roadside and kids running without shirt here and there. Most of Sabahan are Christian I think, in town, you can see church every 1 or 2km. In Kota Kinabalu, many tourism places just within 1 hr drive, quite near. So, in a day, we arranged few places to visit. We must visit as many as places we can in the shortest golden time.

Famous attraction 1: Tamparuli Suspension Bridge

~ Tamparuli Suspension Bridge ~

Did you notice anything from the picture? The bridge looks WOW, under the bridge is a river, and a road to let cars pass by. What’s wrong with the road leh? That is a one-lane-road. So when cars from right hand side cross the road, cars from another side have to wait for their turn. Drivers there also very patient, seems situation like that also not a big problem for them, no hone sound at all. Cross the bridge, you can see a pasar. The river under the bridge called Kiulu River, very very famous for White Water Rafting. But this trip I didn’t have enough time to do that. Next time la.

~ Their morning market ~

~ On the bridge, river by my side, mountain behind me, I like that ~

~ Yeah, Tamparuli Suspension Bridge ~

Famous Attraction 2: Coconut Street

There has a street full with coconut stalls at both sides of road. You can just stop at any stall you want. For the 1^st time I see Kelapa Bakar, quite special, black skin and hot coconut drink inside. Usually they use old coconut to make Kelapa Bakar, because the skin is thick enough to burn it, if use young coconut, might crack during burning process. At the coconut stall, got a lot of mosquitoes, you eat coconut, mosquitoes bite you back lo!!!

~ Black Kelapa Bakar costs RM3.00 each, can try this ~

~ Fresh coconut with fresh drink inside, RM4.00 each.

~ Fresh coconut pudding, RM4.00 ~

~ Tauke helped us take this picture, haha ~

Famous Attraction 3: Monsopiad Cultural Village

~ Entrance of Monsopiad Cultural Village ~

When you want to know Sabah culture very well, this is the place – Monsopiad Cultural Village. Monsopiad is name of a pahlawan. 6^th &7^th generation of Monsopiad are just staying next to Monsopiad Culral Village, so you can feel like the history sounds very very real. Now they also keep on improve their living lifestyle, become very modern already. 7^th generation of Monsopiad also already converted to Christian. I recommend you MUST visit this place if you go Kota Kinabalu. But there got a lot of mosquitoes also, better bring repellent la. Here also got culture show.

~ Here, let you learn few Kadazan words ~

~ You may try few activities there, one of them, but not easy to do this ~
