Rock Garden Mount Murud at Sarawak Borneo 砂劳越姆鲁山的岩石公园

Mount Murud is the highest and sacred peak mountain in Sarawak with 2423 meter above sea level, I treked up Murud Mount and camp at the SIB Church Camp (2,135 metres above sea level). The trek takes us up the northern flank of the mountain, offering a magnificient panoramic views of the surrounding mountain view. The Church Camp is the largest evangelical mountain church in the nation, a pilgrimage site for thousands of people. The church camp is the only place to stay on this adventure. 

姆鲁山是砂劳越最高的一座山峰,海拔2423米。我和队友们夜宿在半山腰的教堂,教堂旁边有大约二十多间的木屋,这是给信众们来朝圣住宿的地方。而我们就住在一栋两楼的宿舍,楼下有一间厨房。这里没有水电供应,喝是喝雨水,电有发电机,但是只有教堂有常年的活动时才使用(一年大约三次而已)。晚上气温下降到大约15度。
On my way up to the summit, I pass through a very different type of vegetation, the so called mossy forest, muddy trail route, waterfall ridge, and encounter beautiful carnivorous pitcher plants. What attracted me the most of this the Rock Garden.
往山顶的方向,一路会经过烂泥道,不同的植被森林,苔藓森林。而我最喜欢的就是这个岩石公园,这里有各式各样形状的大小岩石。
The Rock Garden are a plateau that had various kind of rock formation, some huge some small.
With a little bit of creative imagination, you can name some of the formation base on the shape of the rock, like this I think it looks like a foot?!
利用一点想象力,你就可以给这些岩石命名。像这个,本人觉得看起来像脚趾头,你呢?
这条嘛就像什么呢...? 😜
The SIB Church camp is at the Linanit mount, as there is a tiny white dot near the summit of the mount in this picture... that's the chuch camp.
我们住的教堂宿舍,就是在后面山中央的白点。有看见吗?
Me resting at one of the rock, its really hot that day. While I took this picture, I can felt the burn on my butt, but my friend wants to take the perfect picture, so ask me to stay there until he can get the shoot he wants 😅
当天天气炎热,不要看我帅气的坐在那里拍照。其实我的屁股就快被烫烧焦,我朋友因为要拿好角度,所以一直叫我不要动,给他拍照...我的妈呀~ 
Looks like a monkey
齐天大圣孙悟空,到此一游!!!

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....

This is the Mount Hosanna Chapel, while on my way back from Sri Aman, I drop by this place, and it is located about 157 KM from Kuching city (near Seri Aman), Malaysian Borneo. 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. So I walk up to the chapel, and visit the place. Saw a priest is currently blessing the members. The building looks like three big candles,  it means Trinity. In Christian doctrine, the Trinity is the unity of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit as three persons in one Godhead ...
