After the cold and gloomy winter, cozy spring sunshine comes to make everyone smile! Whilst seeing the season of rebirth, renewal, and regrowth.

In Japan, the tradition begins with the arrival of the short-lived cherry blossom season that reminds us of the temporary nature process of our own lives. People gather in their millions to enjoy cherry blossom parties, eating and celebrating with friends, family, and colleagues. All while sitting under the falling pink and white blossoms to a ceremony tradition called Hanami.

Borneo Wildlife for Earth Day

It's very fitting that Earth Day on April 22 falls in the middle of spring, given that it is an annual celebration of the environment and a timely reminder of the importance of long-term ecological sustainability. Mulu Marriott Resort & Spa is the only 5-star luxury hotel in the area of Gunung Mulu National Park - a UNESCO World Heritage site. Guests can explore the rainforest and caves of Borneo, helping to rediscover and rejuvenate themselves in tranquil rainforest surroundings. One of the biggest draws is the extraordinary sight of 3 million wrinkled-lipped bats flying out of Deer Cave, the world's largest cave passage. For adventurers, ascending Mulu Summit and limestone Pinnacles are other possibilities - or maybe just a sunset cruise downriver on a local longboat is your idea of enjoying nature.
