Mount Kinabalu, Crocker
Range, Malaysia (13,435ft/4,095m)
Malaysia's tallest mountain, Mount Kinabalu's
rocky face is such a mystical sight, it's no wonder there are several
legends tied to it. One of the more popular stories usually told to tourists,
says that the name translates as Chinese widow. In the story, a Chinese prince
survives a sinking ship and is rescued by local people. There, he
marries a local woman but, missing family, returns to China. He's
banned from ever returning while his Malaysian wife, turned into stone by
the spirit of the mountain, continuous to wait for him to return.
