Visit the legendary house of Monsopiad's descendent where the 42 skulls of the warrior's advesaries are kept. Enthralled by the mysteries of Kadazan ancient folklore and see the massive monolith which Monsopiad planted about three hundred years ago.

Here, you could also witness the model of a typical Kadazan native house where its structure is mostly built using few types of palm trees and bamboo including its roof. For better understanding, the common traditional activities will also be showcase here. You should take the opportunity to taste their famous local wine made from rice hence the name 'Rice Wine'.

Watch the Cultural Dance performance by the local villagers in their fascinating traditional costumes to make your visit a more memorable one. Before your return to hotel, take a chance to further explore briefly some part of the Penampang area to witness the changes of the past and present. The houses nowadays are mostly concrete although you could still see some are wooden but a typical Kadazan house is hardly seen.
