At Tuaran Market, food stalls prepare Tuaran Mee. The dish is made in several ways, including “wet-fried” with sauce or dry as Kon-Lau. This brings two different preparations into focus: one version with sauce and one dry version. This offers a concrete starting point for exploring Tuaran’s culinary scene, without limiting Tuaran Mee to just one style.

Bridge and architecture in Tamparuli

The Tamparuli Suspension Bridge is a popular stop for a short walk because of its height and colorful appearance. At the bridge entrance, a community of volunteers performs a short traditional dance. The performance may not always be available, so check in advance whether it will take place during your visit.

Rumah Terbalik is also located near Tuaran, in Tamparuli. The house is upside down, with its floor facing upward. The building features distinctive Sabahan decorations and design elements. The 3D Wonders Museum at Rumah Terbalik offers a different perspective: there, art displays images transformed into immersive 3D environments. An upside-down house and transformed visual spaces thus bring two distinct design ideas together. Guided tours are available; check the current arrangements before your visit. Visitors can have a meal or an afternoon snack at the Rumah Terbalik Café. Check in advance whether the café is currently operating.

Compare waterfall hikes

At Murug Turug Eco Tourism, the two packages differ in trail length and number of waterfalls. Package B is an approximately 5 km circular hike to three waterfalls. Package C covers 12 km and passes all seven waterfalls at MTET. Two specific features are therefore important when comparing the tours: the length of each route and the number of waterfalls. The packages differ by approximately seven kilometers.

Visitors may swim at all seven waterfalls; camping is permitted in the Murug Turug Waterfall area. As access conditions may change, confirm the current rules if you plan to swim or camp.
