The famous Mount (also known as Gunung Puteri) Santubong lies to the right, soaring to a height of 900m ASL.
There is a folk legend about Mount Santubong.
A legend often associated with the mountain is of two beautiful princesses, Santubong and Sejinjang. Santubong was an expert weaver while Sejinjang was an excellent rice tresher. One day, they had a quarrel and exchanged blows. Sejinjang swung her tresher which hit Santubong's cheek. Santubong threw her weaver at Sejinjang, hitting her in the head. Putting an end to the quarrel, the King of Heaven cursed both of them into mountains. Santubong turned into Mount Santubong while Sejinjang was turned into Mount Sejinjang. It is said that Mount Santubong resembles a woman lying on her back.
Sometimes, we trek up this mountain summit in 2 hours, then down by 1.5 hour.
Recently a wooden boardwalk jetty is built, as can be seen at bottom right. There is a school nearby.
Enjoy the view and sunshine!
Regards
