Donguan hill, Apin-Apin, Keningau

This is a relatively new hiking place for hikers in Keningau and its surroundings. This place is named Donguan, pronounced, Dong guan - like the region name in China. 

This is a private property, I haven't asked the owner how did the name came about. 

The site is located next to another popular hill 'Matanoi Hill'. The track is quite challenging, you have the option to hike all the way or choose the shorter route.

There are 2 main hills, and the views from the top is pretty awesome! 

Best time to hike is early morning or from 4pm to 6pm. Not advisable to hike at night.

Big bird's next, eagle probably. 

Location: From Apin-Apin town, turn left, drive for about 3kms.

Admission rate:

Rm 3 - Local

Rm 5 - International.

Evening views from a paddy field in Keningau

It's been such a looong break!

Thanks to smartphones, it's getting easier to blog now.

Evening views on a paddy field can be breathtaking, just as what I observed here in Keningau.

Please credit this page if you want to use these photos.

Just a nice place to stroll, jog or even ride a bike! 

This way is a loop, but I can feel that in 10 years time more houses will be built along the way.

Till then! Happy exploring!

Sungai Pegalan (Pegalan River)

These are two pictures from my collection of Pegalan River.

You can easily get this views if you go on straight from the main road and pass through Kg. Tigot, Keningau. There's a small path leading to Pegalan river=)

Pegalan river is a source of income and livelihood for most people along its pathway. It's origin is from Tambunan , where it passes through Keningau and eventually merges with Padas river in Tenom.

Taman Bandukan

I had the opportunity to visit Taman Bandukan, at Kg. Bunsit, Bingkor Keningau last March.
At that time, Sabah was still under the drought spell, so everything was kind of dry and a bit yellowish. Nevertheless, the setting was perfect. I had a very relaxing swim in the river and there were not so many people then. Just nice for a short escapade from a hard day's work!


It was a bit autumn like here. I like the colour of the grass.

same picture different setting. sorry for the bad quality picture. I hope I will afford a decent camera soon :D
