Poring Hot Springs is a tourist resort in the district of Ranau in Sabah. It is approximately 40 km southeast of Kinabalu National Park Headquarters and 13 km from Ranau.
Poring Hot Springs is a natural hot spring. The water has sulphuric minerals that have healing properties. It is a good place to destress, especially after climbing Mount Kinabalu.
The hot springs is just one of the attractions of Poring, whose name comes from the Kadazan-Dusun word for a species of giant bamboo found there.

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.
While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
