A trip to Kudat (Part 2) - The Longhouse, The Gong Factory and The Honey Bee Farm

This is the Part 2 of Kudat trip, I still have some photos to upload over here. We stayed at Rungus Longhouse for two nights. I never stayed at longhouse before, this was the first time. It was just same with the longhouse I imagine~

We visited to Gong Factory and Honey Bee Farm too.

although its name is Gong Factory, but it seems like a village for me.

Gong is the most important Rungus musical instrument which is played during festivals and grand occasions. I heard from one of the aunt who selling souvenir at longhouse, Gong is one of the thing that need to prepare for wedding. that is why until now Gong industry is still important at there.
