Questions 25-34
Read the text and answer the questions below .
Sabah in Malaysian Borneo attracts tourists and backpackers for its rainforests,
wildlife, biodiversity and exotic cultural traditions. Here are our favourite things to do
in Sabah from hiking Malaysia’s tallest mountain and seeing the world’s smelliest
flower to standing on the northern point of Borneo Island.

Mount Kinabalu rises an impressive 4095 metres (13 435 feet). Featuring on
Sabah’s state flag and giving the name to the capital city, Kota Kinabalu, climbing the
mountain has and always will be one of the top things to do in Sabah. Hikers need to
join an organised tour and limited places for the tour usually sell out months in
advance, But the two-day climb up the sacred mountain and witnessing the sunrise at
the peak is an experience not to be missed.

In 1964, Sepilok became the first rehabilitation centre for young and orphaned
orangutans. Deforestations and logging destroy their habitats while others are hunted
for sport or to be kept as pets. Sadly, this leaves the young unable to fend for
themselves in the wild. Sepilok, located 25 kilometres west of Sandakan, helps train the
orangutans to survive on their own. Inside the centre, visitors can walk along a
boardwalk to the viewing platform. At 10:00 a.m. and 3: 00 p.m., rangers give the
resident orangutans bananas and milk.

Sabah’s rainforests form habitats for thousands of plants and animals over

with expert guides to night safaris and canopy walks. Visitors also have a chance to
learn more about conservation from resident scientists. Wild orangutans and pygmy
elephants are sometimes sighted nearby.

Located in the centre of Sabah, Maliau Basin is one of the very few places on
Earth that remains completely free of human activity. The basin surrounds the Maliau
River in an almost self- contained forest and ecosystem. Parts of the vast reserve are 6
still unexplored and unmapped, alluring nature-loving tourists. Getting to Maliau Basin
needs time and patience. But those who preserve say it was their favourite activity in
Sabah. Visitors can hike to the peak of the summit at 1675 metres(5495 feet), swim in
waterfalls and go wildlife spotting.
