Bung Joggong Mount Summit Hike at Borneo Sarawak “卓恭”山攻顶记

Bung Joggong is the mountain where Sting Village (Kampung Sting) is, I camp on the home stay near the base mount for one night. The next morning, woke up at around 4.30am to hike to summit in hope to see the sunrise.

“卓恭”山是“史汀”村的一座山。我在这里露营一晚，第二天凌晨四点半就起身，准备攻顶看日出。

We started with our Kuching Adventure Team member, but we have no luck finding the correct trail to summit. We are very fortunate that we meet a friend who knows the way up, and he then lead us to the correct route.

我们一开始就与自己的团队先打前锋，不幸的是都摸索不到对了路线，结果浪费了很多时间。后来，一位识路的朋友往后追上，我们跟着他一起到山顶去。

It was still dark that time, I notice that we passed by a paddy field farm which is at the mountain slope. And the trail to the summit are mostly cover with dence wild grass.

但是四处一篇乌黑暗地，我隐约有进过一座稻田...到山顶的路真难走，一路上都是又高，又有刺的野草。

There was an abandon house there, which the owner had resettle to other places after the dam impounded. There is no river or any water source here, only way is by collecting rain water. Its a difficult condition to live. Thus humand always manage to found a way to cope with the harsh environment.

这里有间被遗弃的破屋，这里没有水流，只能靠雨水。要在这里生存不是一间容易的事，但是人类还是有办法。这就是人类生存意识在作怪咯 😁

Close to 2 hours of hike, we finally manage to reach the summit (close to the summit). But it was close to 8am, and the sun had rose for quite sometime. However, the view on summit are fantastic!

经过了接近两小时的登山步行，终于到达了山顶。但是时间已经接近八点早上了，太阳老早就升起来了，但是我眼前的风景一级棒！

The sea clouds covering the land bellow us. Simply amazing!

云海覆盖大地，无与伦比！

More mountain range from far away

遥望远处的山脉

The very steep slop that has a lot of planation, like paddy and pepper.

斜坡上都种植了胡椒及稻米

Really have no idea how can they do their paddy planting on such a steep slop. It must be very danger to work here, and I believe the village people does not have much safely gear to use during the plantation.

这里的农夫们就是在这样的斜坡种植稻米，我很佩服，也很好奇，到底是如何在没有任何的安全设施之下工作的呢？

Small hut in the middle of the paddy field

这稻田中央有间小木屋，供休息及储存用具使用

One of the homestay here at Sting village (Kampung Sting)

远处的木屋就是其中一间民宿

After the impound of the Bengoh Dam, the water had form a new geographic formation. I guess its faster to reach from one place to another, compare to walking distance last time.

当“泵供” 水坝开始储存水后，这里的地理也因此而有了一些的变动。水位的升长，这里从一个村到另外一村的时间缩短了，因为不必步行，用船只就行了。

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...

Pugu Beach situated at Lundu, after Pandan beach. Drive all the way up you will see road sign showing where is the beach location. 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. Long time did not meet up with them, and camping together with them. Hope in future, we can have time to go for adventure together, just like old time. 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....

Mount Hosanna Chapel with Wilson Chin, Borneo Sarawak

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 ...
