Monsopiad Cultural Village

Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia

Located about half an hour south-east of town, this small park shows the traditional way of life of the Kadazan ethnic group and tells the story of Monsopiad, a Kadazan warrior who lived some 300 years ago and who killed 42 men who attacked his village. The 42 skulls can be viewed in the Hall of Skulls. Getting there: hire a taxi from Kota Kinabalu and arrange to be picked up some hours later. The rate should be RM20 one-way or around RM80 for the return trip plus waiting.
