About 215km north of Kota Kinabalu is the laidback coastal town of Kudat, once an important trading post and capital of Borneo in the late 19th century. Kudat is where people make a pit stop on their way to the Tip of Borneo, the crop of rock that represents the island’s northernmost point. Kudat is also famous for its rich cultural heritage that comprise a warm mix of Chinese, Bajau, Filipino and Rungus, a subtribe of the Kadazan-Dusun and the main ethnic group of the area. The Rungus are renowned as highly skilled artisans who traditionally make colourful beaded necklaces from local plant seeds and clay, adorned with motifs of ancient designs that usually signify old fables and legends. They are also skilled at basketry and cloth weaving.
