Just three hours from Hong Kong, Borneo is the third-largest island in the world and the second-largest island in Asia, geographically allied to Malaysia, Indonesia and Brunei. Malaysian Borneo covers the two northern states: Sabah and Sarawak.
World's Oldest Tropical Rainforests
Exploring the species-rich equatorial rainforests, home to endangered wildlife including the critically endangered Bornean orangutan, is a must. The best areas of the rainforests are incorporated into national parks, with the two most popular (both UNESCO World Heritage Sites) being Gunung Mulu National Park in Sarawak and Kinabalu Park in Sabah.
