The least famous and most beautiful springs hide deep inside <a href=\"\/hills-park\/\">Tawau Hills Park<\/a> (Local Name: <em>Taman Bukit Tawau<\/em>). In 2006, I tried to go there but the heavy rain overflew the river and cut off the trail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><a href=\"\/kap\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/images\/2010\/20100402_1.jpg\" alt=\"Trail to sulphurous spring\"\/><\/a><br \/><a href=\"\/kap\/\">Click Here to see more photos of Sulphurous Springs &gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the idea of exploring Tawau sulphurous springs was always on my mind. Finally I made up my mind and went to Tawau Hills Park early this month. In the park, you only need to walk about 3.2 KM by following the &#8220;Kolam Air Panas&#8221; trail, which will be a jungle trekking for about an hour. Since I walked very slow to enjoy and photograph around, it took me 3 hours to get there. Later I will blog about the interesting creatures and plant I saw on the way. When you see the suspension bridge at 1.5 KM, you are halfway done then. Just follow the signage to proceed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><a href=\"\/kap\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/images\/2010\/20100402_2.jpg\" alt=\"Kolam Air Panas 0 Meter\"\/><\/a><br \/><a href=\"\/kap\/\">Click Here to see more photos of Sulphurous Springs &gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When I saw the &#8220;KAP 0 MTR&#8221; (Kolam Air Panas 0 Metre), I thought I had reached the hot spring and I smelled something like rotten egg (sulphur) in the air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><a href=\"\/kap\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/images\/2010\/20100402_3.jpg\" alt=\"river\"\/><\/a><br \/><a href=\"\/kap\/\">Click Here to see more photos of Sulphurous Springs &gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But I only saw a river looked like photo above. It was a bit different from the beautiful hot spring photo I saw on the leaflet, though this site had a big rock too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><a href=\"\/kap\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/images\/2010\/20100402_4.jpg\" alt=\"End of trail\"\/><\/a><br \/><a href=\"\/kap\/\">Click Here to see more photos of Sulphurous Springs &gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Probably I needed to go further. But very soon there was no trail and signage for me to proceed, seemed like I had reached the end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><a href=\"\/kap\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/images\/2010\/20100402_5.jpg\" alt=\"sulphur pond?\"\/><\/a><br \/><a href=\"\/kap\/\">Click Here to see more photos of Sulphurous Springs &gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not sure if this was the site, I walked around and saw something like a sulphur pond. Well, quite a big disappointment, I guessed perhaps it was not the right season. I snapped a few photos and didn&#8217;t stay long. When I returned to the park and showed the photos to the park guide. He said there was not a hot spring! I was really pissed off and almost shouted why there was no trail and signage. He kept on denying that&#8217;s their fault and insisted the trail and signage were there, making me more angry. May be it has been a long time the park didn&#8217;t check the condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><a href=\"\/kap\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/images\/2010\/20100402_6.jpg\" alt=\"First sulphurous spring\"\/><\/a><br \/><a href=\"\/kap\/\">Click Here to see more photos of Sulphurous Springs &gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anyway, I had to go back again in second day, as it was late. On the second day, I came back to look for the trail and it was really not there. Luckily I knew the hot spring was along the river, so I tried to walk further up along the river. Finally I found the hot spring was only about 200 Metres away, but that took me more than half an hour to walk through the dense wood and hilly landscape. You know it is the right place if you see it, as it looks so beautiful and different. I never saw anything like this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><a href=\"\/kap\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/images\/2010\/20100402_7.jpg\" alt=\"Snowy stream of sulphurous spring\"\/><\/a><br \/><a href=\"\/kap\/\">Click Here to see more photos of Sulphurous Springs &gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First thing you will see is the &#8220;snowy white&#8221; stream from the sulphurous spring. The white color is the result of sulphur sticking and deposited in the stones and river for long period of time. It is so unreal and pretty. Compared to crowded and commercialised <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mysabah.com\/wordpress\/poring-hot-springs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Poring hot springs<\/a>, this spring is unspoiled and so pristine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><a href=\"\/kap\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/images\/2010\/20100402_8.jpg\" alt=\"Sulphur thread of sulphurous spring\"\/><\/a><br \/><a href=\"\/kap\/\">Click Here to see more photos of Sulphurous Springs &gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Wow!&#8221; was my only response. I was excited and explored around. In the flowing water, I saw hair-like sulphur threads. They moved with the current, like water weed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><a href=\"\/kap\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/images\/2010\/20100402_9.jpg\" alt=\"First sulphurous spring\"\/><\/a><br \/><a href=\"\/kap\/\">Click Here to see more photos of Sulphurous Springs &gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The water in sulphurous spring is crystal clear with cyan color due to the minerals, a calm and shallow pool under a mass body of silicified rock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><a href=\"\/kap\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/images\/2010\/20100402_10.jpg\" alt=\"Sulphur deposit in sulphurous spring\"\/><\/a><br \/><a href=\"\/kap\/\">Click Here to see more photos of Sulphurous Springs &gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The sulphur deposit blankets in the calm water is in cotton-like shape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><a href=\"\/kap\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/images\/2010\/20100402_11.jpg\" alt=\"Sulphur deposit sulphurous spring\"\/><\/a><br \/><a href=\"\/kap\/\">Click Here to see more photos of Sulphurous Springs &gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most photos you see here would be the only collection on the Internet. Before I came, I searched the Net and didn&#8217;t find many photos, so I was surprised by what I saw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><a href=\"\/kap\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/images\/2010\/20100402_15.jpg\" alt=\"sulphur jelly\"\/><\/a><br \/><a href=\"\/kap\/\">Click Here to see more photos of Sulphurous Springs &gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I grabbed a small pieces of the sulphur deposit to take a closer look. It is very soft like semi-liquid jelly, like a small amount of sulphur particles being held loosely by water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><a href=\"\/kap\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/images\/2010\/20100402_12.jpg\" alt=\"First sulphurous spring\"\/><\/a><br \/><a href=\"\/kap\/\">Click Here to see more photos of Sulphurous Springs &gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another angle of the spring. The water is calm and shallow. I would like to take a dip but I didn&#8217;t want to stir up the bottom and destroy the look. I photographed around happily. The locals believe the spring water can cure skin diseases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><a href=\"\/kap\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/images\/2010\/20100402_13.jpg\" alt=\"Floating sulphur foam\"\/><\/a><br \/><a href=\"\/kap\/\">Click Here to see more photos of Sulphurous Springs &gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There were some yellowish sulphur foam floated on the water. It is something creamy and sticky when touched.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><a href=\"\/kap\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/images\/2010\/20100402_14.jpg\" alt=\"Silicified rock\"\/><\/a><br \/><a href=\"\/kap\/\">Click Here to see more photos of Sulphurous Springs &gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Above the spring is a mass body of silicified rock, with a few trees grow on its thin layer of soil on top. I don&#8217;t know what you think it looks like. I felt that it was &#8220;staring&#8221; at me, a bit scary&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><a href=\"\/kap\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/images\/2010\/20100402_16.jpg\" alt=\"Bubbling in sulphurous spring\"\/><\/a><br \/><a href=\"\/kap\/\">Click Here to see more photos of Sulphurous Springs &gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>See the bubbles and stirred sand above? An evidence that thermal process is still active. The fart smell is from the conversion of dissolved sulphur in water to H2S by anaerobic bacterial activity, which suggests the water is from deep underground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><a href=\"\/kap\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/images\/2010\/20100402_17.jpg\" alt=\"Bubbling in sulphurous spring\"\/><\/a><br \/><a href=\"\/kap\/\">Click Here to see more photos of Sulphurous Springs &gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>There are other hot springs found in different places of Malaysia but the volcanic-related hot springs are only found in Sabah.<\/strong> Technically, it&#8217;s caused by the Quaternary magmatic intrusion of Maria volcanic complex.
