<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>History</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The region was designated as a national park in 1964. British colonial administrator and naturalist Hugh Low led an expedition from Tuaran to the region in 1895. He also became the first recorded man to reach the peak of Mount Kinabalu.The highest peak of the mountain was later named after him—Low's Peak.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Kinabalu Park is situated on the Crocker Range on the western coast of Sabah. It is located within the district of Ranau, within the West Coast Division. The park is not to be confused with Crocker Range National Park which is a separate park in the south.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The park headquarters is 88 kilometers away from the city of Kota Kinabalu. There are highways and sealed roads leading towards the park headquarters from other parts of Sabah. It is situated on the southern boundary of Kinabalu Park, at an elevation of 1,563m (5,128 feet).<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_EJjOP48rtrM/TK2IWCPJoaI/AAAAAAAAAHI/IqDKbezGf6Q/s1600/images+(6).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_EJjOP48rtrM/TK2IWCPJoaI/AAAAAAAAAHI/IqDKbezGf6Q/s1600/images+(6).jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This park is administered by an organization called Sabah Parks. Accommodations in the form of chalets can be found in the park, mostly around the headquarters. Reservations for accommodation and mountain climbing guides are processed through Sutera Sanctuary Lodges. Every person who wishes to climb the mountain must be accompanied by a qualified guide.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<br />
The mountain summit trail begins at Timpohon. There is also an alternative route called the Mesilau Trail.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A notable feature of the park is Low's Gully. It is a 1.6 kilometre deep ravine stretching 10 kilometres on the side of the mountain peak.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This botanical site contains a variety of flora and fauna that ranges over 4 climate zones; from rich lowland dipterocarp forest through the montane oak, rhododendron, to the coniferous forests, to the alpine meadow plants, and to the stunted bushes of summit zone. The mountain is also known for its many carnivorous plant and orchid species, most notably, the Nepenthes rajah.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It is also home to a multitude of endemic animal species, including the Kinabalu Giant Red Leech and Kinabalu Giant Earthworm. The park also plays host to a variety of birds, insects, mammals, amphibians, and reptiles.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_EJjOP48rtrM/TK2ITcUskUI/AAAAAAAAAHE/nLTjdC400tk/s1600/images+(5).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_EJjOP48rtrM/TK2ITcUskUI/AAAAAAAAAHE/nLTjdC400tk/s1600/images+(5).jpg" /></a>Mount Kinabalu is one of the youngest non-volcanic mountains in the world. It was formed within the last 10 to 35 million years. The mountain still grows at a rate of 5 millimetres a year.</div>

Sandakan was famous with it so many heritage that always being taking care of Government agency. My recent trip to Sandakan couple days ago bring me to a lot of nice places and best seafood restaurant. One of the best place that I have visited is Agnes Keith House Sandakan. It really easy to find this place and easy to get there. Take a little bit survey at my website '' Go Ranau " to get more information. Happy Reading.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">If you should ever stroll along the stretch of Jalan Istana in Sandakan, the much-talked about Agnes Keith House is hard to miss. With its sprawling green lawns and colonial-style wooden walls, the residence has since been restored by the Sabah Museum, in collaboration with the Federal Department of Museums and Antiquities.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">This British colonial government quarters, called Newlands, was once occupied by famous American writer, Agnes Newton Keith, who penned Land Below The Wind in 1939. Two books followed her first success, namely Three Came Home (1946) and White Man Returns (1951). With the exception of the second book, Land Below the Wind and White Man Returns were written in the house on the hill where she had the best views of Sandakan Bay at the front and the Sulu Sea at the back.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Newlands was rebuilt some time in 1946/47 and was the first government permanent timber dwelling to be built after the Second World War. It was built upon the ruined foundations of the original house that was destroyed during the war.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_EJjOP48rtrM/TOzDCu63wbI/AAAAAAAAAL8/l_pZvC0ifH4/s1600/agnes-keith-houseGoranau2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="239" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_EJjOP48rtrM/TOzDCu63wbI/AAAAAAAAAL8/l_pZvC0ifH4/s320/agnes-keith-houseGoranau2.jpg" width="320" /></a>The house became home to Agnes and her family, Henry (also referred to as Harry) George Keith, who was the Conservator of Forests and their son, George. When the Keiths left Sabah in 1952, the house was occupied by subsequent Conservators of Forests, forestry officers, volunteers and other staff. Though the Keiths never retuned to Sabah, the house was always referred to as Agnes Keith's House by visitors who never stopped coming to see it.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Today the house has been restored and turned into a heritage house, providing interesting insights to life during British North Borneo. It is furnished with a reproduction of colonial furniture and antiques. A gallery on the first floor tells the story of this remarkable woman, her books and her family. A Keith time-line starts in 1873 and ends in 2004 tracing the past to the present Keiths.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">"The new house is beautiful. Round trippers on world boats would come up to see it, carrying their cameras and calling, Why look!" (Agnes Keith, White Man Returns, 1951, p.87)</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Getting There</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The Agnes Keith House is part of the Sandakan Heritage Trail . From Sandakan town, it is a 20-minute walk. You can also take a taxi.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;">A must-visit in Kundasang is the Kundasang War Memorial. Established in 1962, this was one of the first memorials to commemorate the brave Australian and British Prisoners of War who died in Sandakan and during the infamous death marches to Ranau during World War II. The memorial also remembers the people of North Borneo who risked their lives to help the POWs.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The Memorial is made up of four beautiful gardens - the Australian Garden, the English Garden, the Borneo Garden and the Contemplation Garden and Pool - to represent the different nationalities. With its towering pine trees and blooming roses, a walk in the gardens is reminiscent to that of a stroll in a quaint English garden. The scent of roses lingers in the air and the serene atmosphere makes the Kundasang War Memorial an ideal place to contemplate and remember the heroes of the war. Visitors can also opt to view a brief video on the history of the Sandakan Death March.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Luanti Fish Village is Located 22km from Ranau Town. Beside this place is the main entrance to Sabah Tea Garden, which you guys can visit after you finish with this fish village. Do take a picture and please come again soon.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Kampung Luanti, Ranau located about 131 kilometers from Kota Kinabalu (2 hours and 40 minutes drive away); this fish massage ‘spa’ is managed by the Kampung Luanti JKK and lead by Mr. Jeffrin Majangki.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">In the Local Kadazandusun dialect, ‘tagal’ means ‘no fishing’, and the main purpose of the ‘tagal’ is to preserve the environment as well as the ecosystem to benefit the future generation. ‘Ikan Pelian’ or Malaysian Mahseer comes from the family of Cyprinidae. These fishes are specifically trained by the villagers to perform the healing massage activities.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The fish massage is deemed to have a curative effect on those who suffers from psoriasis. Come to Kampung Luanti for regular fish massages and you will enjoy smoother and suppler skin - just like a baby’s bottom.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">If the idea of fishes nibbling off your dead skin doesn’t thrill you, try other activities such as jungle trekking and camping. Should you intend to stay longer, Kampung Luanti is also equipped with a homestay programme to make visitors feel at home every time.</div><div><br />

Nature has graced us with her best. Located at 2,272 feet above sea level, the harvest here are 100% pesticide free as insects are drawn more towards the 130 million year old rainforest surrounding the plantation, leaving the harvest for SABAH TEA untouched and pure. Unlike most brands of tea, SABAH TEA consists of only tea leaves picked from its own 2,480 hectare plantation.

The track cut for the death marches soon became completely overgrown and for sixty years defied all efforts to locate it. However, in August 2005, Australian investigative writer and historian, Lynette Silver, author of the internationally acclaimed book Sandakan - A Conspiracy of Silence , and Tham Yau Kong, a multi tourism award winner, who has almost twenty-years‘ experience in the industry, combined their considerable talents to identify the path taken by the prisoners of war.

To date we have more than 10 teams signed up for this event and we are expecting another 30-50 teams to participate. Participants from all over has signed up for make this event a greater success, just to name a few, we have bikers from Labuan, Sandakan, West Malaysia, and expecting some teams coming in from Brunei as well. Apart from that, this event will also be a great opportunity for mountain bikers to gather and interact whilst sharing experiences.</div></div></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">About 15-20 minutes from Ranau Town..Poring is indeed a place to go to relax..particularly for those who have just climb mount kinabalu..</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">You can take a bus or taxi from Ranau town or Directly from Kota Kinabalu..</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The entrance is different from the Hot Spring Area and you have to walk about 2-3 minutes to get to the actual area..</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Poring or Bamboo if directly translated from the local Kadazandusun Language has many bamboo plants growing around its vicinity..the moment I entered the place through a bridge...Something says to me that something awaits me..</div><div><br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;">....the hot tubs are built slightly below the actual source of the hot water. The hot water is piped (as at the source it is hot enough to hard boil eggs) and presented at the tubs along side a cold water tap. Due to reasons of hygene, the tubs are drained after each use, but they are also fairly large and thus sometimes take some time to fill. There are several other sized tubs scattered about nearby, which are not tiled and communal. Hot water flows freely through these and are always at the ready.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">There are also two or three indoor tubs for private use. The better of the ones is the Raffelsia, which is quite new, spacious and nice and clean. The other tubs are fairly basic, almost like what you would find at home, but do feature two big tubs side by side. The facilities are also basic, but clean.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The other pools in the part of the facility are cold-water pools. There is a freely accessable rock pool, as well as the paid-access slide pool, which is a series of 4 cascading pools, the upper 3 of which are margined by a water-slide. The water in these pools are fed by a river and are thus constantly replenished. This part of the facility is quite popular amongst tourist and locals alike, especially during weekends and public- and school holidays.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Which is really true because during that day (a Public Holiday for Sabahan)..ALL TUBS and POOLS ARE OCCUPIED...I managed to spend a few minutes in the tubs..but its so distressing to see others waiting in line to have a taste of the Hot Spring..so I just spend a little time there..Gonna be back again soon...</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">There are also several pools out there..but if you want to rest or relax then tubs is the best choice...there is a CANOPY WALK..and BUTTERFLY SANCTUARY if you want at extra few costs...I didn't have the chance to go there as I was busy spending my time in the cold water pool and hot tubs..</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">There is a Jungle Restaurant which is pretty unique and cool because most of the building materials are mainly taken from jungle and nature..</div><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">Located at an altitude of 1176m above sea level, Ranau is known for its hilly geographical structure and is the largest producer of highland vegetables in the state of Sabah. Apart from agriculture, Ranau is a must see tourism destination and has many wonderful places such as Mount Kinabalu, Poring Hot Springs, Kundasang War Memorial, Sabah Tea Garden and much more. Malaysia's first UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Kinabalu National Park is also located here.</div><br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-z2Bv1uqQMF8/TlX7Y-iELdI/AAAAAAAAAOo/4wG6uwlX7Wc/s1600/IMG_4633.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-z2Bv1uqQMF8/TlX7Y-iELdI/AAAAAAAAAOo/4wG6uwlX7Wc/s320/IMG_4633.JPG" width="240" /></a>The origin of the name "Ranau" comes from the Dusun word "Ranahon" which means paddy fields. Usually the Dusun people who live in the highland grow rice on the hills (called tumo/dumo in Dusun), however, for those who live in the lowland of Ranau, they cultivate rice in watery paddy fields. Over time, “Ranahon” is shortened to “Ranau” and since the central district administration is nearer to the lowland, the name “Ranau” is adopted as the official name for the district.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
<br />
Meanwhile, in the district level, Ranau is governed under a district office form of local government headed by a District Officer. Since 2009, the District Officer of Ranau is Haji Faimin Kamin. There is only a Magistrates’ Court in the district but there is also a Native Court, having jurisdiction on matters of native law and custom. Normally, each village will have a Village Head working as a leader, together with a Village Development and Safety Committee carrying out activities pertaining to the villagers’ interests.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Ranau district is divided into 14 sub-districts and each sub-district is divided into villages (Malay: kampung, abbreviation: kg.). There are a total of 212 villages in Ranau. The following are the 14 sub-districts in Ranau with its respective villages in order of proximity to Ranau township:</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Population</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The majority of Ranau population is composed of the Dusun natives. There is a small population of Chinese of Hakka, Hokkien and others Chinese descent who have settled for a fairly long time in Ranau. In addition, there are also people from other ethnicities as well, such as Malay, Kadazan, Bajau, Murut and other natives. Due to Ranau’s status as an agriculture-based district, there are a sizeable number of foreign workers from Indonesia and the Philippines working as labors in large farms and plantations. Indians make up a very small number of Ranau population.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The multiethnic composition of Ranau population has resulted in many interracial marriages notably the Sino-Dusun and so on.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Most Ranau people speak the Sabahan Malay dialect but the Dusun language is primarily spoken as well especially among the older generations. Mandarin and Chinese dialects especially Hakka is spoken among the Chinese community and native languages of the other ethnicities can be heard as well. English is more or less spoken and understood by the younger generations and the locals who work in the professional sectors.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Ranau has never experienced any major religious tensions and all people practice their beliefs with much freedom. This is partly because both Islam and Christian missionaries arrived in the district about the same time in the early 20th century but the mainly Europeans and Australians Christian missionaries actually took the trouble to know which villages that have majority of its villagers converted to Islam thanks to the teachings of the mainly Javanese Islam preachers. And so, the Christian missionaries avoided these villages but continued to seek other villages that had not received any visit from any religious groups yet, thus, preached Christian from thereon.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">As a result, Ranau has an irregular pattern of religion distribution where Christian-majority villages and Muslim-majority villages are located side by side and so on and also, no sub-districts are 100% dominated by any religion. Even a Christian-majority village may have a Muslim household or two and vice-versa with a Muslim-majority village. This unique social make-up has resulted in good religion understanding between the people of Ranau.edit]Economy</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Ranau is an important agricultural and tourism center in Sabah and this two sectors have been the main economy backbone for the district. Most of the tourism business are centered around the highlands of Kundasang, a sub-district in Ranau while agriculture business is widespread all over Ranau. Therefore most people of Ranau work as farmers or operators of their own business although there are white-collar workers as well mainly in the government sectors such health, education, service and administration and a few in the banking sector.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Agriculture</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The moderate temperature of the Ranau highlands coupled with its fertile soil has been fully utilized by farmers to grow different types of vegetables and fruits such as cabbage, spring onion, tomato, lettuce, carrot and to a certain extent cauliflower, capsicum and many others. Strawberry has been successfully cultivated here and there were attempts in growing apple as well although the result has been varying. Flowers of different species are also planted here for commercial purposes.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Kundasang also boasts a dairy farm owned by Desa Cattle (Sabah) Sdn. Bhd company located at Mesilau.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Tourism</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Hotels, resorts, motels and lodging houses can be found concentrated nearer to the Kinabalu National Park. Not only do these facilities improved the growth of tourism business by attracting more visitors to stay longer but the local residents have also benefited as more jobs have been created for them.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Among the well-known hotels in Kundasang are the Mount Kinabalu Heritage Resort & Spa and Kinabalu Pine Resort. A new 5-star hotel called the Royal Kinabalu Mountain Resort & Hotel Suites located 800 meters from the entrance of Kinabalu Park is currently undergoing construction.[1]</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">During weekends and school holidays, lots of tourist buses and vans plus private cars from Sarawak and Brunei can be seen heading to Ranau.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">[edit]Other business</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Apart from that, other business such as restaurants, superstores such as Milimewa and G-Mart, grocery shops, clothing stores, handphone shops and cyber cafes are mainly operated within the township area. CIMB Bank and Bank Simpanan Nasional each have their branch in Ranau. The only fast food restaurant in Ranau is KFC.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Education</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">All primary schools and secondary schools in Ranau are public schools although a small private school for secondary school students do exist and a number of privately-owned kindergartens well. The Ranau Education Office is comprised of 11 secondary schools and 67 primary schools.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">There is only one Chinese national-type school in Ranau which is Ranau Pei Wen Primary School (Chinese: 蘭腦培文小學; pinyin: lán nǎo péi wén xiǎo xué) and two schools with Christian missionaries background, St. Benedict's Ranau Primary School in the town area and Don Bosco Bundu Tuhan Primary School in Kg. Bundu Tuhan. Apart from the typical primary schools, there are also Islamic primary schools that cater to Islamic education for primary students.For Islamic secondary school, there are only two such schools in the district i.e. the SMA Mohammad Ali Ranau in Kg. Lohan and SMA Al-Irsyadiah Marakau Ranau in Kg. Marakau.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The oldest national secondary school in Ranau is Dato Paduka Mat Salleh Ranau Secondary School while the oldest primary school is Ranau Town Primary School. Among the newly bulit schools in Ranau are Ranau Secondary School and Kilimu Primary School.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Culture</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">A number of festive celebrations observed by Ranau people can be seen celebrated throughout the year, be it religious or cultural celebrations and among them, the major ones are Tadau Kaamatan (Harvest Festival), Hari Raya Aidifitri (Eid ul-Fitr, (Arabic: عيد الفطر ‘Īdu l-Fiṭr)), Hari Krismas/Natal (Christmas), and Tahun Baru Cina (Chinese New Year, (Chinese: 農曆新年; pinyin: nóng lì xīn nián)).</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Tadau Kaamatan is an annual event celebrated by the Dusun people in Ranau district in the month of May although the exact date is subject to change each year but as with any district level Kaamatan celebration, the date precedes the Sabah state level Kaamatan celebration which falls on May 30 and May 31 every year. However, it is interesting to note that, at village level, the Kaamatan may be celebrated as late as June or July depending on their own preferences.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Originally a ritualistic event, Kaamatan was usually marked by strict observance of animistic rituals and rites to be performed to appease the spirit of rice at the end of the harvesting season. Nevertheless, today, Kaamatan is more akin to Thanksgiving as the majority of Dusun people have converted to mainstream religion although some still pratice the rituals and rites but rarely to be seen.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Among the highlights of Kaamatan events which usually attract the most people are Sugandoi (singing competition) and Unduk Ngadau (cultural beauty queen pageant) while traditional sports competitions are also held.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">During Hari Raya Aidifitri, open houses are the norm, with Ranau people, regardless of religion, visiting the houses of their Muslim relatives and friends to mark the celebration. Like many other Christians in Asia, Christmas is still being observed in a religious fashion where churches usually hold congregation throughout the Christmas week with the highlights on Christmas Eve and Christmas Mass. Carolling can also be seen done among the younger generations although they only visit houses where they are invited to carol. Open houses and Mass, usually by the Ranau Council of Churches where different Christians denominations celebrate together and by Christian politicians can also be seen.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Chinese New Year is celebrated mainly by the Chinese community and during the week of the celebration, one can hear and watch the Ranau Lion Dance team visiting Chinese people houses throughout the Ranau town and its vicinities to perform the dance accompanied by its trademark musical instrument performance of drums, cymbals and gongs as well.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Other celebration includes the Paskah (Good Friday) where one would normally see the Christians in the district going to church congregations during the Holy Week with its culmination is on Good Friday to Holy Saturday and usually ends on Easter Sunday. Meanwhile, another religious celebration that can be observed here is the Hari Raya Aidiladha (Eid al-Adha, (Arabic: عيد الأضحى ‘Īdu l-’Aḍḥā).</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Miscellaneous</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The Kundasang War Memorial Display Garden has plants and flowers from Borneo, Australia and Great Britain. Ranau was the terminus of the infamous Sandakan Death Marches of World War II. Kundasang is a sub-district within Ranau district.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Ranau is the largest producer of highland vegetables in the state of Sabah. Some of it are exported to Sarawak, Brunei and Labuan. Its tea products are exported to US and the Philippines. Tamu , held every Wednesday, Saturday and the 1st day of the month, is a place for the people to sell, buy, occasionally barter trade and meeting old friends. Lots of fresh local produces from all over the districts are up for sale. Middlemens from around the state with vans, trucks and lorries can be seen loading vegetables and fruits, ready to transport them out to other cities and towns.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Ranau used to be the largest producer of cooper in the 70s until the closure of the Mamut Copper Mine in late 90s as the copper ore had been fully mined.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
