Basically, you can spend the whole day here as there's canopy walkway, slide pool, butterfly farm, Orchid garden and Tropical garden. We started off with soaking our legs in the hot spring water. The water was really hot and it took us quite a while to completely soaked our legs in. After soaking I can feel my skin refreshed and velvety smooth!

The family trip to 89 Station in Kundasang was a serene escape into the heart of nature. Surrounded by the majestic peaks of Mount Kinabalu and lush greenery, we found ourselves in awe of the breathtaking landscape. Wandering through vibrant flower gardens and meandering pathways, we felt a sense of peace and tranquility wash over us. The cool mountain air invigorated our spirits as we savored freshly brewed Sabah tea and sampled local delicacies. Watching the sunrise illuminate the valley below was a moment of pure magic, shared with the ones we hold dear. It was a journey of exploration and connection, leaving us longing for more adventures together.

#malaysiatrip
One of the must-visits when in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah Malaysia is the Poring Hot Springs.
It’s really a nice place to visit especially if for nature lovers. It is a well-maintained park surrounded by beautiful rainforest and cool fresh air.
The hot springs are actually situated inside the Kinabalu Unesco Geopark. There is an entrance fee for the park, then a separate fee for the hot spring tubs / saunas / pools or sulphur ponds when inside. The hot springs is the first stop as one enters the park.
Highly recommended as you will not be disappointed!
My rating: 4 ⭐️ out of 5!

Poring Hot Spring, Kundasang
We drive for 45 minutes to arrive to the Poring hot spring from the town of Kundasang. The fact that each tub is individual makes the hot spring special. It seems to be cleaner. There is also a chilly pool there. Additionally, there are numerous other indoor attractions, such as the Butterfly Farm, Canopy Walk, Rafflesia Research Centre, and Waterfalls. To explore and take it all in, I would suggest going earlier because they close up shop rather early as in 3pm. A very nice place to go to in Kundasang!#travel #2023travelwish

De’ Poring Hot Spring
Poring is named for a huge bamboo species that thrives in the area. It is located on the eastern outskirts of Kinabalu Park, some 40 kilometres (25 miles) from the park headquarters. Poring is located 400 metres above sea level and is dominated by a lowland forest with massive dipterocarp trees that can be seen from the pathways.
Poring is famous for its hot sulphur spring bath, which was created by the Japanese during WWII. The spring's hot waters are pumped into open-air spas. For those who prefer privacy, an indoor bathtub is also provided. On the 43-meter-high canopy walkway in Poring, you may take a spectacular treetop walk. One of the primary attractions here is the Rafflesia, the world's largest bloom.
