Pesta Gong Matunggong @ Matunggong, Kudat, Sabahposted by d_luaz
|
The Rungus, a subgroup of the Kadazandusun tribe, is one of the most culturally-preserved communities in Sabah. Many Rungus families still adhere to the old ways; inhabiting atavistic longhouses and practicing their age-old spiritual beliefs. The endearing charm of the Rungus people would most likely be rooted in their concept of communal living and sharing under one roof in the traditional longhouses.
Don’t miss the opportunity to see the famous beadworks of the Rungus community in Matunggong. Here, you can find pretty and colourful beaded accessories such as rings, necklaces, and bracelets. Should you be swinging by Kampung Bavanggazo and Kampung Tinagol, you can also witness the Rungus women weaving their traditional tapestry.
A visit to Kampung Sumangkap lets you into the ancient craft of gong-making. Whereas a tour in Kampung Gombizau; which is famous for its beeswax, honey, and royal jelly processing farm, will provide you with an educational insight.
Head to Kudat this October to immerse yourself in the resounding ethnic beats of the gong and discover other hidden treasures of Matunggong—guaranteed give you a fine taste of the rich Borneo culture!
