Climbing Hallasan and organising a summer trip to a few of China’s many incredible mountain landscapes has come as a timely reminder for me that Taiwan doesn’t (quite) have the monopoly on fantastic hiking opportunities in the Asia/Pacific area. My interest in hiking elsewhere in the region (and in other parts of the world) has far outstripped my actual experience of hiking in other countries hereabouts, but I thought I’d share another favorite, favorite place that I have climbed, the highest peak in Eastern Asia, the mighty Mount Kinabalu in Malaysian Borneo.
