Roadside Vegetable Market in Ranau

All types of local vegetables

Flowers plants for sale







Mushrooms


We stopped at the roadside market. Most tourists patronised the Fruits Market stalls while directly opposite across the road is the Vegetables Market where only locals are seen.

The vegetables are grown by the farmers in the area. The produces looked very fresh. As the climate up in the mountain is good for vegetables growing, the vegetables seemed to be big in size as well.

Canopy Walkway is a canopy of the Menggaris Tree - the king of the tree. (Tallest, Strongest and Sturdiest tree in the Kinabalu National Park, Malaysia's 1st World Heritage Site.

We had to trek through the rainforest for one hour to get up to the Canopy Walkway. We were thrilled to witness life in the treetops as we walked along the 100ft high Canopy Walkway. It was quite an experience in going through the 5 stations and trekked back to the Poring Hot Spring area.

We were lucky that our tour guide managed to find the Rafflesia which was blooming in the rainforest. We had to trek deep into the rainforest for 5 minutes to see the blooming RAFFLESIA, the world largest flower in Kinabalu Park area, Kampong Poring Ranau. We had to pay RM30 each to go with the guide to see and take some photographs to share with you.

There is a foul smell coming from the flowers but the misty air in the rainforest neutralised it. Overall, it was quite an experience to see the World largest Flower, the Rafflesia.
