Sightseeing
Take a walk on Jambatan Tamparuli, this is Sabah's famous 50m hanging bridge connecting pedestrians from Kiulu to Tamparuli market, on a clear morning, you can even see Mt Kinabalu as you stand in the middle of the bridge. This bridge even inspired a popular local song! Running parallel below the bridge is an old causeway for motorists to cross over the river on sunny days. It is closed when heavy downpour occurs in this area as the river rises over the road.
