The grand entrance of Hongkod Koisaan
The unique design of Hongkod Koisaan building
I can say that who ever live in Penampang will definitely know this building because of its unique design. You can say it is one of the land mark in Penampang. What makes the Hongkod Koisaan (utility hall) building outstanding is that the traditional gongs on its wall. This building was build by KDCA, an association that contain 40 indigenous ethnic communities of Sabah registered under the ROS.
Another special thing a about Hongkod Koisaan is that the high light of the Kaamatan or Harvest Festival (starting 28th - 31st of May) will be held here every year. We celebrate Kaamatan in the whole month of May. You can get most of the information through Sabah Tourism Board or Malaysia Tourism.
Some other attraction which can be found in the Hongkod Koisaan area are the Traditional houses ( must see), Traditional Costume Gallery, Kaandaman Spa and the Souvenir shop.
