 Malaysia Borneo (65th island)

I look into the viewfinder to capture its magnificence in the camera, but I can't capture the mountains of nature. The cool air makes me feel the atmosphere of the mountains. I can‘t see the brave figure from the observatory.

World Heritagein Borneo

Altitude 4095.2m, the highest peak in Southeast Asia. At least to the foot of the mountain (1580m) and drive through the gate, nature maintenance fee (RM15, 450 yen) Arrived at the destination paying Malaysian (RM5). From here to the summit, it seems that one night (a mountain hut at the 3200m point) is aimed at a barren rock surface, but such a healthy leg is a long time ago.

When I was walking with my camera, A local Chinese tells me that if you want to take a picture, you can walk the 4km promenade or "Mashiura" (40 minutes by car). Of course, choose the latter and run in the direction opposite to the direction you came by car.

I saw the signboard of the landmark Mashiura Golf Course. When I was looking for the best position, I suddenly stood on the 10th tee ground of the golf course. Fortunately, I can't even see the golf cart. 

95km from the city (2 hours by car) Take a taxi booked early in the morning to Kotetsu and Mt. Kinabalu. The road is paved and Japanese cars are active. The car speeds up smoothly and heads for the destination.

The sea of clouds and alpine plants endemic to Borneo seen from the top can be taken by taxi and "immediately photographed". The guidebook says that the real thrill of Kinabalu Park is to discover it by trekking. I shouldn't travel lazily.

The course manager will allow you to enter comfortably. Unfortunately, the summit of Mt. Kinabalu is covered with clouds and does not show the whole view. At the very least, I will comfort myself by looking at the pictures in the library.
