Tanjung Simpang Mengayau

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This area marks the northernmost tip of Borneo island.
Tanjung Simpang Mengayau or Tanjung Simpang Mangazou, also known as Tip of Borneo in English is the northernmost tip of Borneo located in the district of Kudat, in the state of Sabah, Malaysia. The tip marks the meeting point of the South China Sea and Sulu Sea.

History

The original name of Tanjung Sampang Mangazou comes from the language of the Rungus, an ethnic group which resides mainly in the district of Kudat. The words Tanjung (cape), Sampang (union) and Mangazou (battle) refers to this location of a battle that occurred when the ethnic Rungus defended their territory against the attack from Moro Pirates.[1][2] According to legend, this place was a favourite landing point for the pirates.[2] While the Chinese people call this place as Foh Liew, which in Hakka means lighthouse due to a lighthouse on a nearby island of Pulau Kalampunian can be seen from here.
During the famous circumnavigation era, Ferdinand Magellan fleet supposedly went here to perform repairs on his ships.[1][2]

    Simpang Mengayau means 'lingering junction' as it is here that the South China Sea lingers and meets the Sulu Seas flowing from the east ... Enjoy the stunning view. The sunsets and full moons are just beautiful ... The Pulau Kalampunian lighthouse is a reminder of treacherous coastline and past shipwrecks. On the left is the beautiful beach of Pantai Kalampunian.
    It's a lovely easy stroll to the flagpole, the Glob
