Did you know?
Another suggestion to why Mt Kinabalu Sabah was named as it is, is from another popular folklore; the name Kinabalu actually meant “Cina Balu”. “Cina Balu” translates into “chinese widow”. Legend tells a story of a Chinese prince who ascends to the mountain in search of a huge pearl guarded by a ferocious dragon. He married a Kadazan woman upon his successful conquest, whom he soon abandoned when he returned to China. His heartbroken wife wandered into the mountains to mourn whereby eventually she turned into stone.
Do you see a resemblance of a lady’s head at the upper left peak? Once you see the “head”, you can start to see somehow the mountain does look like a sleeping lady
