A Town Where The Actress Dtk Maria Manado Used To Perform

Kinarut is a small town in the Papar District. Kinarut is busy on every Saturday when there is a Tamu. It is at this place that you can get river or fresh water fishes like 'Pelian', but they are not cheap selling at RM35/kg. Kinarut started as a Train Station Town and a new Train Station had been completed, just waiting for the new but overdue railway tracks to be completed.

The old wooden shop-houses are still intact and it was in one of these shop-houses that the actress Datuk Maria Man ado used to stay to perform at the cinema which had now been replaced by a Sabah Electricity Building.

Old Big Mansion

This old Big Mansion is located in Kinarut Papar along the Papar-Kota Kinabalu Highway and is called the Panoramic View Muzium by its current owner, the Sabah Muzium. It was said to have been found by SAFODA (Sabah Forestation Development Authority) when it opened up the area. It was said to have been constructed by some foreigners, for what they had not established but some source claimed it was used as prison.
