点评:Took a day trip just to see the mountain and hike trails. We rented a car and drove from Kota Kinabalu. The road there was really not bad, I expected it to be much more treacherous based on other reviews I had read. We ended up getting there in the morning around 9am and hiked the Bukit Burung, Bukit Tapai, Silau Silau, Kiau View and Pandanus trails. The trails were not too difficult but Bukit Tapai, Bukit Burung, Kiau View, and Pandanus did have a decent amount of steps. Unfortunately the Liwagu trails was closed when we were there so we were not able to do that hike.
When we went the trails were also moderately muddy so I was grateful to have brought my hiking boots along. I also found a leech on my shoe after we got off the trail. I don't think leech socks are necessary but just something to keep in mind.
Out of the trails we did only Kiau had a view of the mountain but the view is obscured by many branches so while it is still nice there are not any great photo opportunities of the mountain. Wildlife spotting requires a lot of patience and luck. I believe the only mammals around are squirrels. We had the best luck birding on the Kiau trail and actually had a few nice sightings.
The Botanical Garden was an unexpected highlight. It is an additional charge but I believe it was only 5 ringgit a person. I would highly recommend doing to guided tour. Our guide gave us a lot of great info about his experience growing up in the area, how the various plants could be used medicinally, for food, etc.
翻译:为了看看山景和徒步路线,我们花了一天时间。我们租了一辆车,从哥打京那巴鲁出发。那里的路况其实还不错,根据我读过的其他评论,我以为那里会更加危险。我们最终在早上9点左右到达那里,徒步了Bukit Burung、Bukit Tapai、Silau Silau、Kiau View和Pandanus路线。这些路线难度不大,但Bukit Tapai、Bukit Burung、Kiau View和Pandanus的台阶确实不少。可惜的是,我们到达时Liwagu路线已经关闭,所以我们没能去那里徒步。
我们去的时候,路上泥泞不堪,所以我很庆幸带了登山靴。下山后,我还在鞋子上发现了一只水蛭。我觉得防水蛭袜不是必需的,只是需要注意一下。
我们走过的步道中,只有基奥(Kiau)能看到山景,但视野被许多树枝遮挡,所以虽然景色仍然不错,但几乎没有什么绝佳的拍照机会。观赏野生动物需要很大的耐心和运气。我记得周围唯一的哺乳动物就是松鼠。我们在基奥步道上观鸟的运气最好,确实看到了几只不错的鸟。
植物园是一个意外的亮点。参观需要额外收费,但我记得每人只需5林吉特。我强烈推荐参加这次带导游的旅行。我们的导游给我们讲了很多很棒的信息,比如他在这个地区的成长经历,以及各种植物的药用、食用等。
