Borneo Highland Penrissen Summit Exploration 婆罗洲高原朋里逊峰登山之旅

One of the most prominent highland in Sarawak is the Borneo Highland, its famous for its close to nature resort, the beautiful Indonesia border view point, the Penrissen Mount Summit trail, the misterious Batu Panggah, and its beautiful landscaping near the resort.

砂劳越最著名的高原非婆罗洲高原莫属。这里有一间度假屋，里面的食物只有提供素食。这里也有一个可以遥望加里曼丹边界的景点。还有一座神圣而且神秘的大石头"班亚石"，有一片漂亮无比的大草原，还有很多很多。。。

This place also has a few magnificient waterfall, like this Simangas waterfall which can be seen on the way up to the highland resort.

瀑布是我最喜欢的景点之一，这里有几个瀑布可以参观。这个“氏墁卡斯”瀑布就是在你要去高原度假屋的路上就可以看到了。

如果天气好，没有起雾，你可以看到印尼加里曼丹边界

The different between a millipede and a centipedes is that millipedes have paired legs, while centipedes don't. For this picture, can you tell its a centipede or millipede?

千足虫有两种，第一种是它的脚都是双配双对，而第二种的就是密密麻麻的脚。

在未到达山顶的路上，巧遇这朵漂亮的野胡姬花

Found this gorgeos orchid at the steep cliff, its very danger to go over and take a close up picture, I've already zoom to the max with my SLR and this is what I get.

而这朵胡姬花就长在悬崖的旁边，我有点胆小，不敢爬过去拍近照。只能用相机的放大功能来拍。这朵非常的美。

砂劳越与加里曼丹的边界石

This place are full of leeches, prepare some mint oil to get ride of this nasty little thing when it latched on your skin.

除了风景漂亮之外，这个地方也超多水蛭。一定会有一两只咬你，吸你的血。来这里时，记得带一瓶气凤油，水蛭特别怕这个味道，很见效。

The Bung Jagoi Heritage Centre Hike and the Bung Tesen Peak Viewpoint

With just around 320 meters above sea level, the Bung Jagoi it's one of the most family friendly trail available in Kuching. The trail is super easy to hike, and suitable for children and old people, a good weekend gateway. Not to forget it also has a very nice viewpoint on the summit peak. And if hiking is not your cup of tea, you can also bring your family to the waterfall, just a few mins hike at the base of the mountain. There is a big parking space for your car, a few ringgit per car. This is a restaurant, and we paid our entrance fees here. They also offer daily tour package, which includes food. A friend of mine bring his 70+ years old mother and two young children to hike together, and impressively she made it to the summit. A waterfall trail just below the mountain. Good for children, as I know my children like to play in the water more than hiking to the summit. Very clear water from the mountain. view along the way to the summit A souvenir...

Its a long stretch of beach, which lead all the way to the river mount of Sungai Sebako Besar. My friends and I decided to visit the place, and stay at the resort hut which we paid RM50 per night. Pugu Beach is about 7.11km long from bukit Gondol. The day I visited, was a hazy day. Partly due to the heavy burning on our neighboring country Kalimantan. A panoramic view of the Pugu Beach, the view are very nice if you are at the top of the bukit Gondol. A small hill on the other end of the beach. Enjoying the time hanging out with my buddies.

This is a simple resort hut, they also have a toilet and washroom. But they don't sell food, so we have to bring our own food and water....

You can see this chapel just beside the Kuching - Sri Aman highway. What interesting about this place first is the design of the chapel, and second will be the story behind it, and it goes like where God spoke to the philanthropist who funded the church construction and healed his wife which is diagnose with critical illness. When I meet one of the chapel members there, and asked about this, he deny this. And told me that this is not true, and it was the priest himself who raise the fund to build this chapel.

In Christian doctrine, the Trinity is the unity of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit as three persons in one Godhead ...
