After visited the longhouse at Anna Rais, we commuted to the hot spring. Following the route, we started to drive from the wooden-steel bridge beside the tourist information center until we saw a Bidayuh bamboo hut. The drive was less then 5 minutes.
Following the cemented trail, it leaded to the stream. Along the trail there are some pineapple plantation and some hill-padi fields.
The hot spring is of the same stream that we have visited at the longhouse. There are few spots where the hot spring water seep out from the stream bed and flow together with the stream water. In order to make some hot spring SPA in the jungle, the workers are pooling the hot spring water with sands and rocks from the stream. At this point, we could only play with the cooling stream water but that would be enough for us after a long walk at the longhouse.
We also had some traditional lunch at the bamboo hut. We ate the bamboo rice (hill-padi cooked in bamboo), bamboo chicken (an aromatic lemon grass chicken stew), cassava leaves (cook with anchovy and chili) , bamboo shoots (cook with anchovy) as well as the Bidayuh traditianal tea (a kind of tree bark boil together with pandan leaf (Screwpine leaf)).
