Nestled 15 minutes away from Kota Kinabalu City in the district Penampang, home to the largest ethinic group in Sabah known as the Kadazans. Visit the legendary house of Monsopiad’s descendents where the 42 skulls of his adversaries are kept. Marvel at massive Monolith which Monsopiad Planted 300 hundred years ago. The enthralling tour will unveil the mysterious folklore of Kadazan Tribe as well as allowing you to have a better grasp of their authentic living conditions when you visit the typical kadazan native house built using mostly Palm Trees and Bamboo.
Nestled beside the Penampang River are the many traditional buildings that make up the Monsopiad Cultural village, a living museum located 16 km or about half an hour away from the KK City Centre. Monsopiad was a fearsome warrior who lived in the village of Kuai nearly 200 years ago.
At the Village, visit the Tangkob or Grainery where the padi is housed.
Kotos Di Monsopiad or Monsopiad's Main House is dedicated to the life and times of Monsopiad and his descendants. On display are ceramic jars, padi grinders, bamboo items as well as the costume of Bobohizan Inai Bianti, direct descendant of Monsopiad and very senior high priestess.
Other interesting exhibits include the massive monolith which invokes a dozen legends, the traditional restaurant and of course Siou Do Mohoing, or the House of Skulls, where all 42 'trophies' of Monsopiad hang from the rafters.
