Kinabalu Park, gazetted in 2000 Kinabalu Park is the main starting point for the summit trail that leads to the top of Mount Kinabalu. It covers an area of 754 sq km and is made up of Mount Kinabalu, Mount Tambayukon and the foothills. It was gazetted to preserve this valuable natural environment. The mountains have a fascinating geological history, taking 'just' a million years to form. The mighty Mount Kinabalu is actually a granite massif that was later thrust upwards through the crust of the surface.
		Gunung Mulu National Park, gazetted in 2000 Gunung Mulu National Park has a vast biodiversity with more than 60 mammalian species and 250 bird species.

Here lies the worlds largest underground chamber, the Sarawak Chamber, capable of accommodating forty Boeing 747 airplanes
		Melaka & George Town, gazetted in 2008 Melaka and George Town, historic cities of the Straits of Melaka, are renowned for their multicultural heritage. These ports were located at a strategic position for the 15th - 18th century trade between Europe and Asia.
