The Tamparuli Bridge song by Justin Lusah (Jambatan Tamparuli) | |
Tamparuli is a town and sub-district located in the Tuaran District of Sabah, Malaysia, on the island of Borneo. It is situated approximately 38 kilometres northeast of Kota Kinabalu, the state capital of Sabah.[2] The town is known for its scenic landscapes, which include hills, rivers, and surrounding rural areas, making it a picturesque location.[3] The town is famous for its proximity to the Tamparuli Suspension Bridge, a popular tourist attraction.[4][5] The Tamparuli Suspension Bridge became even more iconic after the creation of the "Tamparuli Bridge Song" by the Justin Lusah.[6][7] Tamparuli is also known for its local culture and is a gateway for visitors heading to the highlands, such as the popular Kundasang area and Mount Kinabalu.[8] Additionally, the town is recognised for its food, especially the "Tamparuli Noodles" (a type of noodle dish), which is a local delicacy.[6] The town is also a stop en route to the town of Kiulu, a whitewater rafting destination for domestic and foreign tourists.[9] It is populated mainly by native Dusuns, while a sizeable Chinese community (of whom most are Hakkas) runs most of the shops in the town proper.[10]
As with many other small towns in Sabah and indeed Malaysia as a whole, the town itself consists of both newer concrete shoplots as well as old wooden ones, which are particularly prone to destruction by fire as evidenced in the destruction of one of the wooden shoplots in recent years.[11] Now, Tamparuli is said to have the potential to grow with the convenience of a new shop site called Tamparuli Point. The most famous landmark in Tamparuli is a long hanging bridge; another bridge built more safer and compatibly for motor traffic spans the river far below the hanging bridge and is frequently flooded during heavy rain.[12] A portion of said motor bridge was once destroyed by floods in 1954 but was rebuilt not long after.[13]
