Lambir Hills National Park is probably the world’s most complex and diverse forest ecosystem.  Its 6,952 hectares of lowland dipterocarp and heath forests rise to a height of 450m and produce the greatest known level of plant biodiversity on the planet. This provides a home for 237 different species of birds, flying squirrels, wild pigs, gibbons, many different types of monkey, various species of deer, and untold insects and other invertebrates, as well as dozens of international research scientists who are permanently stationed in the park.  Lambir also offers fascinating trekking trails leading to sparkling waterfalls and bathing pools scattered about the rainforest, all within 40 minutes drive of downtown Miri.

Most of Lambir’s trails are interconnected, so it is easy to do quite a few in a day.  The Latak Waterfall Trail is the shortest, easiest and most popular – if you are looking for peace and solitude, come on a weekday. The trail (red/white markings, 20 min) follows the course of a clear, fast-flowing stream past two very pretty small waterfalls to a large forest pool surrounded on three sides by steep rock walls and fed by the 25-metre Latak waterfall.  Changing rooms, toilets and picnic areas are provided and the pool is safe for swimming, but non-swimmers and small children should take care, as it is deep in parts.
The Pantu, Bukit Pantu and Pantu Waterfall Trails are all branches of the same trail system. 

Shortly before the Latak Waterfall, the Pantu Trail (white markings, 1 hr.) branches off to the left up a series of steep steps past an abandoned tree tower, then downwards through dense forest to the Nibong waterfall, an idea place to cool off. A few hundred metres further along are the Bukit Pantu Trail on the right (yellow/white markings, 1½ hrs) offering superb views, and the Pantu Waterfall Trail on the left (red/yellow markings, 1 hr.).  Beyond the Pantu Waterfall Trail the terrain gradually rises, passing through rugged, dense forest filled with the sounds of Lambir’s wildlife.  After 4 km, the trail forks, the right fork leads to the summit of Bukit Lambir.

The Summit Trail (red/blue markings, 3 hrs) is hard work for the not-so-fit, but the abundant wild orchids and the superb view from the summit (456m) make it worthwhile, and trekkers can cool off in the pool below the Dinding waterfall on the way down. Lambir also offers a variety of tougher trails for serious trekkers; for further information, please consult the park wardens.

Malaysia National Parks, Sarawak, Niah 尼亚国家公园, 砂拉越州属, 马来西亚

Malaysia National Parks, Sarawak, Niah  尼亚 国家公园 , 砂拉越州属 , 马来西 亚 尼亚国家公园（ Niah National Park ）有许多有趣和令人印象深刻的景点。这地区是 4 万年前人类的居住中心，拥有世界最大之一的洞穴入口，旧石器时代和新石器时代的遗址以及铁器时代的洞穴壁画。附近的壁画洞穴画着亡魂乘船到来世的行程，洞穴的石地上还有 “ 死亡船 ” 的遗迹 – 船形棺材（这些珍藏已经被迁移到砂拉越博物馆）。周边地区由茂密的热带雨林所覆盖，其中包含了许多不同品种的野生动物和植物。 即使到了今天，这些洞穴对当地社群依然非常重要，燕窝和鸟粪的收集提供了不错的收入来源。尼亚洞穴是一个很惬意的旅游景点，游客可以在这里耗上几天，虽然大部分景点游客可以在白天就可拜访。 尼亚国家公园位于尼亚河，距离巴都尼亚小镇约 3 公里，在美里西南部 110 公里处。这里有一个游客中心和提供良好的住宿，而且因为设有良好的板条步行道，所以非常容易方便行走。电筒和良好的步行鞋是必备的物品。洞穴里没有亮灯，板条步行道因长期洞穴滴水和蝙蝠放粪便而变得很滑。宽边帽子在这时候可以发挥真正作用。 游客若在夕阳时分离开尼亚大山洞将会看见两大乌云交汇。那那是每晚的交替换更，成千成万的金丝燕归巢，同时数量几乎一样的蝙蝠出巢到森林去觅食。在晚上，在板条人行道上可看见一些发光的真菌。 探秘尼亚天下第一燕窝洞 尼亚国家公园在沙捞越州内是规模较小的国家公园之一，但它在专业人士的眼里其考古价值要远远高于旅游价值。 进了大门后，到景区还要过一条河。其实也就是一条小河而已，没有桥，只能过渡，当地政府将这条财路留给了土著村民。每人来回 2 马币。 脚下的木制栈道，将我们引向神秘的热带雨林深处。在丛林中蜿蜒穿行了 3 公里后，爬上一个高台，终于来到了岩洞口。但这只是交响乐章的一个引子，一个小规模的燕窝洞，现在已经没有燕窝了，只留下了掏燕窝的道具。 出了洞再往前走不远，来到另一个洞，这仍是乐章的一段前奏，一段引人入胜...

Malaysia Borneo Caves, Sarawak, Niah   马来西亚婆罗洲， 砂拉越 州属， 尼亚 洞 Located on the Sungai (river) Niah, about 3 km from the small town of Batu Niah, a 110 km to the south-west of Miri in northern Sarawak. The park was first gazetted as a National Historic Monument in 1958, gazetted as National Park on 23 November 1974 and was published to the public on 1 January 1975. The Park is one of Sarawak's smaller national parks, but it is certainly one of the most important and has some of the most unusual visitor attractions. The park's main claim to fame is its role as one of the birthplaces of civilisation in the region. The oldest modern human remains discovered in Southeast Asia were found at Niah, making the park one of the most important archaeological sites in the world. Forty thousand years ago, the Niah Great Cave sheltered human life. Here lies the oldest human remains in Southeast Asia, along with many other relics of pre...

The park also supports a wide variety of flora and fauna. The Long-tailed Macaque peered cautiously as we sauntered across the boardwalk. It’s mischievous grin plastered all over its face. Be wary of the monkeys, sometimes peering from the treetops and sometimes following you about the park, prob...
