Kundasang Valley

Kundasang Valley (Malay: Lembah Kundasang) is a valley where the Kundasang town is located in Sabah, Malaysia, primarily in the highlands of Sabah southeast side of Mount Kinabalu.

Environment[edit]

The valley were known to be located at the intersection of regional fault zones of Quaternary age, where widespread ground movements pose the main hazard based on a mapped geology since 1958.^[1] As a result of extensive exploration of land for agricultural purposes, the rapid opening of new agriculture land in the valley also has caused the temperature in the area to increase significantly.^[2]

Features[edit]

The valley is featured with terraced hill slopes planted with highlands vegetables as well a cattle dairy farm dubbed as Sabah's "Little New Zealand" where the cow breed of Holstein Friesian milk and dairy product were produced.^[3]^[4]^[5]
