A visit to Ranau would not be complete without stopping by at Poring Hot Springs, a tropical retreat that caters to everyone. Poring comes from a KadazanDusun word which means bamboo and is found abundant in this area.
Poring is known for its hot sulphur spring bath which was first developed by the Japanese during world war II. The hot waters of the spring are piped into open-air baths. Indoor bathtub is also available for those who preferred privacy. At Poring you could experience the breathtaking treetop walk on the 43m tall canopy walkway. Rafflesia, the largest flower in the world is one of the main attractions here.
