Jalan Gayang, Tuaran, Sabah (North Borneo)

This is why I can't live away from Sabah, this beautiful land below the wind.








Some says that this small town called Tuaran about 20km from the main city of Kota Kinabalu were a bit downtown and so-called-back-to-the-future place. But for me its a very peace place (to find inspiration). We usually spend some time to drive along this haunted empty road of Gayang (Jalan Gayang) crossing the Mengkabong river which is facing the majesty mount of Kinabalu after office's stresses.

Local people said that the view of mount Kinabalu that can be seen from this river is the inspiration of the mount Kinabalu shape that can be seen on the Sabah flag because if you're lucky enough to see the shape clearly, its really well-shaped with a very nice face.

But at time we took these photos, the day was good but it was getting dark and we're avoiding to pass the road in a total dark because its totally haunted. Well, you know. When there's a lot of trees without anyone living there, something might be staying there.

Whatever it is, it's a very wonderful scenery that you have to experience yourself especially when the sky is about to turn orange and dusky.
