THE MARKET NEAR TAMPARULI BRIDGE

28th FEBRUARY 2023 ~ There was a market near Tamparuli Bridge and it was the opportunity to walk around and see. My travel partner was actually searching for a restroom and I on the other hand went to explore the market.

Basically, there were people who were selling outside the market and people who ran their business in the actual market building.

I literally just walked around the place and observed. I would definitely need more time to see what were the items sold closely. If you plan to visit the market, you would have to allocate more time, especially if you plan to shop. Still, I was happy to get the chance to stop at the market for a short while.

STOPPING BY AT THE FAMOUS TAMPARULI BRIDGE

28TH FEBRUARY 2023 ~ I must say the most famous bridge in the country is Tamparuli Bridge of Kota Kinabalu. I finally got to walk on the bridge from one end to the other. And basically that was what other visitors did when they were there.

Legend has it that there were many obstacles to get the construction of this bridge to be completed. The bridge collapsed and several attempts to rebuild it failed. The locals  then managed to communicate with the spirit living in the river. The bridge was believed to be built on a sacred site and the spirit was asking for a fair maiden for human sacrifice as a compensation. SCARY!

I managed to get a lot of photos there - thank God there were not many people on that day. You never know when you can come back to this place again.

Will try to find more information about this bridge later.

And here's one famous song that is about the Tamparuli Bridge all Malaysians should know and have listened to.
