Mount Kinabalu Tale
There are many folklores and fables that tell stories of how Kinabalu got its name. The local Kadazan people believe that the word is derived from "Aki Nabalu", which translates into "revered place of the dead". The mysterious Kadazan tribe believes that spirits dwell on the mountain top. According to another popular folklore, the name Kinabalu actually meant "Cina Balu". "Cina Balu" translates into "chinese widow". Legend tells a story of a Chinese prince who ascends from the mountain in search of a huge pearl guarded by a ferocious dragon. He married a Kadazan woman upon his successful conquest, whom he soon abandoned for return to China. His heartbroken wife wandered into the mountains to mourn whereby eventually she turned into stone.
