From there, transfer 1 hour to Nabalu Town and visit the local market, where you can browse through fresh produce and handicrafts with the stunning backdrop of Mount Kinabalu behind you. 

Stop by Marisini Recreation Park, a mini theme park and the perfect stopover for some family-friendly fun. Here, you can visit the in-house rabbit farm and take fun photos in the selfie garden. 

Visit the Kundasang War Memorial, dedicated to the British and Australian soldiers who died in the Sandakan Death Marches, and the countless sufferings and sacrifices of the local people during World War II. 

Nearby is the Kundasang Market, your last stop for fresh produce and local herbs before settling in for the night.
