ChooChoo Train of Sabah Agriculture Park
2015-11-11 WED
 

 

It is not a Train, not a Tram, but a farm tractor dress-up to be ChooChoo-Train

The park itself is very big (200 acres in size).

In order for visitors to get around, the Park provided this circus-car pretending to be a train  to bring the visitors around!

The entrance ticket includes this tram (電車) ride that will bring us tour around the huge park. This tram ride brings back memory of childhood time.

Children will be very excited to get a chance to ride this train.

Even adults! The train move on schedule every half an hour. The park is well maintained except some of the plants are sickly and dying probably due to diseases such as fungus and bacteria or lack of nutrients. Had the Department took more steps to replace them, the park would be almost perfect.
