- Indawo: 90000 Sandakan, Sabah, Malaysia
- Unyaka wesiseko: 1930
Inzulu emahlanjeni ahlazileyo esiqithi saseBorneo yinkqubo yokumangcwaba. Kwiminyaka emininzi ukuqhekeka okukhulu kwakhiwa apha, okubizwa ngokuba ngamagquma aseGomantong. Ziyaziwa ngenxa yokuba zihlala ngabantu abahlala kwi-salangans abahlala kwiChina nakwamanye amazwe njengento yokutya ecocekileyo.
Ubungqina bemihlathi yaseHomanthong
Ngethuba lokuqala, iiphoyinti ze-guano (i-litter of sea-sea) zafunyanwa apha ngo-1889 nguososayensi uJH Allard waseChina Borneo. Imiqolomba yaseHomantang yafundiswa iminyaka engama-40 emva koko ngo-1930. Ngo-2012 kunye no-2014, abaphandi baqhuba i-laser scan yento kwaye badala imephu yayo ecacileyo.
Abaninzi abakhenkethi bayabiza le ndawo kuphela "emathuneni okwesaba". Ngokomlinganiselo wokuqikelela, amaqonga aseGomantong ahlala kuwo:
- izilwanyana;
- iikota;
- zonke iintlobo zeenqana kunye nezidumbu;
- iintlobo ezahlukeneyo zeenyoka.
Olu hlobo lwenkqantosi yokutya, apho amagumbi adla ama-cockrock, kunye neenkizi zidla iinyoka. Ukongezelela, kukho umthamo omkhulu wamatye, ubude bawo bufikelela kwimitha engama-3. Ukutyelela abantu abakhenkethi bangakwazi ukuhamba ngokukhuselekileyo emaphandleni, ngaphandle kokuhamba kunye nezinambuzane nezinyoka ezithintekayo phantsi, kunye ne-cleft yonke ibeka iindlela zokubonga.
Imiqolomba yaseGomantong iqukethe iiholo ezinkulu ezimbini:
- Umgodla omnyama (Seamud Hitam). Ukuphakama kwayo ngu-40-60 m. Ngenxa yokuba sisondele kumnyango, kuthathwa njengeyona nto ifumaneke kakhulu.
- Umgodla Omhlophe (Seamud Putih). Idibanisa umnyango ophezulu kumqolomba wokuqala. Ukuze unqobe, ufuna izixhobo zobugcisa ezizodwa.
Kufuneka kukhunjulwe ukuba imiqolomba yaseGomantong iyancipha kwaye ilukhuni, ngoko kufuneka ihanjiswe kuphela kwisikhokelo. Ngaphandle koko, unokulahleka lula.
Ukuveliswa kweentlobo ze-salangan kwimimango yaseGomantong
Abemi abakulo mgaqo wamathoba bayintaka ye-salangan. Ziyaziwa ngokwakha izilwanyana kwi-saliva yazo, ezomileyo emoyeni. Iinambuzane zibhekwa njengento ebalulekileyo, apho izitya ezahlukahlukeneyo ziphekwe ngayo ukutya kweTshayina. Iingqungquthela ezininzi ziqhubeka zithetha ngokubaluleka kunye nesondlo sesobho sezinto ezisuka kwi-nesti ye-salangan. Abanye bathi yiyona nto ingabonakaliyo, abanye bafaniswa nomoya webhantshi.
Kwiimingcwaba zaseGomantong, iintlobo ezimbini zeentlanzi zithathwa: ezimhlophe, eziqulethwe kuphela nge-salangan saliva, kunye nomnyama, apho iintsiba, amasebe kunye nezinye izinto ezivela ngaphandle zikhoyo.
Umthetho waseMalaysia ulawula ngokucacileyo ukuveliswa kwezilwanyana ezikhawulezayo. Emaphandleni aseHomanthong, bavunyelwe ukuqokelela kuphela kabini ngonyaka - ekupheleni kwebusika naphakathi kwehlobo. Ngexesha elifanayo, kufuneka ube nelayisenisi kunye nezixhobo zobuchwepheshe ezikhethekileyo (i-rattan izitebhisi, iindophi, iintonga ze-bamboo).
Indlela yokufikelela emaphandleni aseGomantong?
Ukuze ubone le nto inomdla, kuyimfuneko ukuya kwisiqithi saseMalaysia . Indawo yokugcina indawo, apho imiqolomba yaseGomantong ikhona khona, isemntla-ntshona yesiqithi saseKalimantan (Borneo), 1500 km ukusuka Kuching . Ukusuka kwi-capital, ungaya apha ngqo ngeenqwelo zeenqwelo zeenqwelo zeen AirAsia, Malaysia Airlines okanye kwi-Singapore Airlines. Zibaleka iintsuku ezingama-3-5 ngosuku kwaye zihlala kwindawo ye-moya ye-Sandakana. Itholakala kwiikhilomitha ezili-103 ukusuka kwinto kwaye ixhunywe kuyo ngeendlela №13 no-22. Kukho imfuneko ukutshintsha kwi-minibus, i-fare eyi-$ 4,5, okanye ukukhupha i- excursion . Ukufika kwindawo egcinwe kuyo, kufuneka uqhube umgama we-16 km kwi-jungle, kwaye ke ngoko ufumaneka emaphandleni aseGomantong.
Ukusuka eKuala Lumpur ukuya kwindawo yokugcina inokuthi ifumaneke ngemoto, kodwa oku kuya kufuneka ukuba uyeke eSingapore , eJakarta nakwezinye iidolophu.
