Mount Kinabalu
Malaysia Borneo
Mysterious
Ecological
Wonderland
Perpetually misty, Mount Kinabalu is the mysterious Heart of Malaysia Borneo.
An ecological wonderland.
The base of the mountain consists of tropical lowland forest, where a mountain climate of cold and high humidity over time has sparked such a rich diversity of life, that thousands of indigenous species can only be found here on the mountainside and nowhere else in the world.
Still no one can unravel the mystery of the origin of such richness.
