Dataran Bengkoka, Pitas

Dataran Bengkoka is located in Tanjung Senimpul, Pitas. Pitas is one of the furthest north district in Sabah that took around 3-hours drive (by car) from Kota Kinabalu. Personally I think this place is quiet an open space suitable for commercial scale activities.

From what I know is that local authorities have made this place as a center for the Annual Festival called Pesta Bengkoka (Bengkoka Festival). The festival usually takes place May every year in conjunction with the district level Harvest Festival.

The seaside view.

Do not mind me XD

There are few stalls hut nearby the landmark area but it looks idle, lack of maintenance I guess? I also saw buildings that supposed to be the R&R (Rest & Recreation Center) place but have yet to be operated. I think this place is still in development progress. I hope the relevant management will continue to develop this area as I believe this place has a tourism attraction site potential that might attract more visitors; with more additional facilities that is.

Sub-Stesen Serinsim, Kota Marudu

For those who is looking for serene places that is far from the city noises, this place is definitely a catch. As you move around this place, the sounds of delightful cicadas will entertain you. 

The Sub-Stesen Serinsim, Kota Marudu is one of the Kinabalu Park management site which is located in Kg. Marak Parak, Kota Marudu. It takes around 30 minutes to reach there from Kota Marudu. 

I welcomed you to this place XD

It was my first time visiting here but trust me, you won't regret. You're gonna love the green scenery that it holds. 

The weather is quiet cloudy that day. The background view was covered by the clouds.

The river where you can do swimming activity. There are facilities for the users i.e. toilet, changing room, water pipe, camping site, etc.

Oh...if you are planning for an overnight trip, there are also chalets and cottages near this place. The camping site looks fine, but you have to provide your own tents as the management is not providing the camping facilities.

And of course you cannot go for fishing here. You'll get penalty if you do. Why? Traditionally speaking, this is one example of "Sungai bombon" or 'Tagal" where there will be a certain time when everyone can go fishing together at this place. 

Yup..Have been playing in the water for a while XD 

 Unfortunately, I do not get the chance to go to the waterfall T.T well maybe next time.
