Poring Hot Spring

Poring Hot Springs is one of the best places to visit after a climb of Mt Kinabalu, or after a trip into the Sabah jungles. The steaming sulphuric water is an excellent tonic for tired limbs. Between hot and cold baths, you can trek through the dipterocarp forests of Poring which are rich in fruit trees, kanas and rotan palms. The baths were originally built during the Japanese occupation and set in a lush green setting. It is called "Poring" because it is named after a species of bamboo abundant here.
Experience too, the canopy walkway (not for the faint hearted) where you are able to walk through the forest canopy of a suspended walkway. It is definitely worth the effort.
The vegetation in the area is lowland rainforest
