Spending days with beautiful scenery under abundant sunlight and fresh air is
definitely one of the best experiences in life. My 40day trip in Sabah was filled with
enjoyment and it was an unforgettable experience for me.
On 3rd December, our classmates gathered in the Tsim Sha Tsui MTR station and at
around 2 pm, we got on the ferry to Macau for the flight to Kota Kinabullu, our
destination. That was really a harsh time for all of us because of the windy climate
that day. The ferry was like on boiling water. Finally by noon, we arrived at Sabah
airport! We then took the shuttle bus to Lavender Lodge- our purple hostel.
On 4th December, we started our
journey in this unfamiliar and
mysterious city by visiting the
mosque, then the Sabah Museum,
which revealed the traditions and
customs there. Afterwards came
the amazing wetland. We spent
the rest of the day there. It was
really
an
unforgettable
experience. Inspired by the area’s
beauty and mysticism, all of us
took numerous photos with the
appealing
twilight
and
the
star-spangled sky with fireflies at
night.

On the second day in Sabah, that is the 5th
December, we first went to Mt. Kinaballu to
explore the rainforest. The mountain ranges
were linked with suspension brides. When we
walked across the bridges, it was like we
were flying between the tremendous trees.
It was frightening but exciting.
The last day was the shopping day, and we
spent most of our time on shopping. In the
morning, we were in the Sunday market, which
was a market similar to the “Women Street” in
Smiles on suspension bridge.
MongKok. After spending lots of money on the
tradition snacks and handicrafts, we took the
motor boat to the islands at the nearby
harbour. The islands were very peaceful and
with breathtaking view.
From the field trip, not only can we
have lots of fun, we have enriched
our knowledge also. With the
detailed explanation of our two
geography teachers, Mr. Tse and Ms
Lee, our geography knowledge has
been consolidated. For example, we
could see different features of the
tropical rainforest and different
landforms in real. We can feel the
impact of the marvelous our world on
us.

The geography field trip in Sabah may not be sumptuous, however, not only can it widens
my horizons and inspires me a lot! I might have packed everything back to Hong Kong,
however, I am sure my heart was left in Sabah.
