Usun Apau Exploration, Tallest waterfall in Sarawak Julan Waterfall, Post 01 of 03 乌舜阿包探险记，砂劳越最高瀑布之祖兰瀑布（上）

The Road to Julan River 往祖兰河的道路

We are going to hunt for the highest waterfall in Sarawak, the Julan waterfall. Day one, 274 km, 7 hours, from Miri to Mr Lipau's farmhouse near the Julan bridge.   

我们这次的目标是寻找全砂劳越最高的瀑布，祖兰瀑布。第一天，两百七十四公里路，七小时，从美里开车到居住在祖兰桥附件里保先生的村屋里一晚。

Depart from Miri, our transportation are consist of three 4WD from the Marudi town.
马鲁帝市镇来了三辆四驱车载我们去目的地。
Passby a town called Lapok aka cowboy town as its full of dust. Logging road, and timber camp nearby. Our transporter advice us if we were to drink at the coffee shop, try to get tin drinks, as they don't have fresh water supply here, only depends on rain. 

旅途中，我们经过了一个小镇叫拉波。这里都是灰尘，我们的司机告诉我们说如果在咖啡店喝水，尽量喝罐装水，因为这里没有水源，只能考雨水。

Stop by at the Baram Dam blockage to pickup our guides and porters. This blockage is an important place for the village people to communicate with other village people for the stop Baram dam movement. I'm glad that the campaign manage to stop the construction of the dam for now. 

巴南的水坝路障营有两个，这是其中一个。我们在这里歇会，也随便载我们的导游和搬运工。这个水坝路障营是一个让村民们沟通的地方，让他们反映出他们的反对建立水坝声音的地方。我感到很欣慰他们目前是成功了，希望胜利会永远站在他们这里。
Say NO to Baram dam！！！ 不要巴南水坝！！！
Our porters will be sitting at the back of the truck, but pity them have to endure the dust along the way to the Julan river. 

我们的挑夫坐在车斗上面，可怜的他们等下就会变成灰尘人了。我的妈啊~~
Into the logging road, its a wild ride.
开始骑马咯
Stop by a viewing point for a break and photo. Follow my Borneo Explorer facebook page for more update.

Who cage the cat?!!! They should be free...
这么把猫咪关在笼子里，猫咪应该要自由自在的到处游走才对。
My lunch at about 3pm, its a fried rice. It looks good, but the actual taste...😓
快下午三点，这是我的午餐。照片是很好看，很美味，但是那个炒饭就。。。
A lot of logging truck around here, the logging company are killing our forest. After the late chef minister Adenan pass away, the local told us that the illegal logging activities starts again, and so as the rest of the logging companies.
这里有太多伐木公司开采木桶。村民告诉我们说自从前首席部长阿德南往生后，这里的非法伐木变更猖狂了。政府啊政府，我们砂劳越的森林完蛋了。。。
This is Mr Lipau's farm house, a 5 door longhouse.

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...

Camping at Pugu Beach Lundu Kuching

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....

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 ...
