沙巴的海島 Sabah Islands

如果您們來到沙巴當然不能錯過體驗陽光與海灘。

碼頭就在沙巴市中心，您們可以從這裡出發體驗海島陽光和海灘。

在這裡您們可以乘快艇出去各島嶼。主島是個大島，

 Manukan島和其他島包括Sapi和Sulu。還有其他的島嶼可以遊覽，但這些是主要的。

我們的船去的第一站是在Sulu，有一個家庭帶備了野餐籃落船去享受他們的一天。

我的第一站是Sapi，在那裡有我的燒烤午餐，其中包括魚、蟹、蝦及雞翼。

環島有很多蜥蜴在散步，遊人把一些食物殘渣對牠們餵食，並為牠們拍照。

這裡的水是如此清澈，這使我想起了我在幾年前到浮羅交怡(Langkawi)遊覽的

珊瑚島(Coral Island)。那裡也是陽光充沛，美麗的海灘，

所以我建議大家一定要來這裡享受陽光與海灘呢！

If you come to Sabah of course you can’t miss the experience of the sunshine and the beach.

 The pier in Sabah Town Centre is where you can go to the islands to experience the sun and beach.

Here you can get speedboats to go out to the islands. The main island is the big island, Manukan,

 and the other islands are Sapi and Sulu. There are other islands to visit but these are the main ones.

Our boat’s first stop was Sulu where families got off with their picnic baskets to spend the day.

 My first stop was Sapi, where I had my barbeque lunch,

which consisted of fish, crabs, shrimp and chicken wings.

There were lots of lizards strolling around the island,

with visitors feeding them their food scraps and taking pictures with them.

The water here was so clear and it reminded me of the coral Island of Langkawi

 that I visited a few years earlier. That also had brilliant sunny days and beautiful beaches,

I recommend that people visit here to enjoy the sunshine and the beaches too!

沙巴的森林和沼澤 Sabah Forest and Marshland (HDR)

在這一天，我們預訂了酒店，參加了沼澤地和河船參觀，

看到沙巴土著的三種猴子，螢火蟲和沙巴的自然風光。

由酒店出發大約兩個半小時的車程，我們終於來到了沼澤。

然後，我們乘船遊覽，歷時約一小時，我們看到各種野生動物，猴子和水牛。

參觀完結後，我們吃了晚餐，之後便返回酒店。這次旅程於下午二時三十分開始，

最終大約在晚上九時才完結。這是漫長的一天。

這條河和森林令我想起電影“阿凡達”，是我們最近剛剛看過的。

這些風景和自然環境真是偉大。特別是聽到所有不同而迷人的聲音在這沼澤地，

鳥類，昆蟲，猴子和其他野生動物都在這裡出現。

這是非常平靜，更使我意識到，我們必須保護和維護這些地區的自然生態環境。

沙巴絕對是一個自然愛好者的天堂。在我們的旅程最後回酒店時，

離沼澤不遠之處，我們看到一棵樹的螢火蟲，照亮了！

它們看起來像聖誕樹的燈，這真是令人著迷。大自然的聖誕樹，真是十分神奇！

On this day we booked in to the hotel and we did a marshland and riverboat tour,
to see three kinds of monkeys indigenous to Sabah, fireflies and Sabah’s natural scenery.

The tour was a two and a half hour drive from the hotel and when we finally arrived at the marsh.

We then took a boat tour, which took about 1 hour, and we saw various wildlife,

the monkeys and water buffalo. After the tour, we had dinner and we then returned to the hotel.

The trip started at 2.30pm and we finally finished the tour at around 9pm. It was a long day.

The river and the forest reminded me of the movie “Avatar”, we had just recently seen.

The scenery and natural environment was great. It was also fascinating listening to all the different

sounds in the marshlands - birds, insects, monkeys and the other wildlife there.

It was very tranquil and it made me realize that we need to protect

and maintain the natural ecological environment of the area.

Sabah is definitely a nature lover’s paradise. On our journey back to the hotel

and not far from the swamp, we saw a tree lit up by fireflies!

It literally looked like a Christmas tree with lights and this was very fascinating.

Natures own Christmas tree, it was quite amazing!

沙巴的市中心 Sabah Town Centre

這次來到沙巴的市中心, 距離Philipino Market步行大約5分鐘就是市中心的海港,

在這裡可以看到一個海豚石雕, 在附近的十字路圓形地有一座劍魚雕像,

也是沙巴拍攝日落的最佳地點, 在這裡看海吹風真是很舒服的!

由海港步行大約15分鐘就是Sunday Market, 但注意它在中午1時半就會完結,

在市中心商場酒店林立, 飲食購物都十分方便, 距離海港步行10分鐘左右就是碼頭,

這個碼頭就是出海島遊玩的地方, 這裡泊滿了快艇, 也有餐廳和咖啡室。

注意買出海島的船票, 要另外多付一個tax fee,

購票處在碼頭入口,  如果忙了付tax fee就要多行一次了!

先看看沙巴市中心的風景, 之後再給大家看看海島遊的照片吧!


Firstly we went to the Sabah Town centre and from here we then proceeded to the Philippine Market,
which is about a 5-minute walk from the harbor. From here you can see a stone dolphin
 and near the crossroads, there is a statue of a swordfish.

This is also the best place to shoot the Sabah sunset as you get a good view of the sea,
and the wind is quite refreshing! Approximately 15 minutes walk from the harbor is the Sunday Market,
but go early because it closes at 1:30pm.
In the Town Centre there are hotels and shopping malls. Eating and shopping here is very convenient.

There is a pier about 10 minutes from the dolphin and swordfish statues.
From this pier, you can travel to the off shore islands and there are many boats to choose from.
The islands offer an array of water activities that you can participate in
and there are lots of restaurants for you to choose from. Please note that besides paying for tickets
 to travel to the islands, you also need to pay a pier tax fee, which you can pay for at the pier entrance.

Take a look at my pictures of the Sabah Town Centre. I will share the island pictures later!

沙巴的聖誕 X'mas in Sabah

今年的聖誕去了沙巴一個星期, 過了一個陽光與海灘的聖誕,

住在Kota Kinabalu機場附近大約25分鐘車程的Grand Borneo Hotel,

即是1 Borneo Hypermall其中的一間酒店, 這個購物中心十分之大,

有各大名店和食店, 價錢比港澳平宜得多, 當然買了不少東西,

也是每次來馬來西亞的三個主要目標: 拍照, 食, 購物!!

當中, 以購物中心的聖誕裝飾最為吸引, 祝大家新年快樂!
