... Lovely nature view of Sarawak oldest and smallest national park... packed with natural treasures from grassland, mangrove swamps, rainforest to secluded beaches and dramatic sea cliffs... famous for its wildlife, especially the rare proboscis monkey with its distinctive long nose which are endemic to Borneo... you can explore the park through its many jungle trails each offering different landscapes and views... truly a place where you can experience the wild beauty of Borneo up close... sea stacks are prominent rock formations within the park... unfortunately the most famous one "The Cobra Head Sea Stack" shown on the postcard collapsed in 2024... the formation was composed of sandstone and stood as a testament to the park's rich geological history, sculpted by millions of years of erosion... while the precise cause remains undetermined, recent adverse weather conditions and strong waves are suspected to have played a role in the collapse... Thanks a lot Wen Yi!【ツ】
