After doing research, i found that Niah caves is a good place for vacation. I believe that some people might know Niah caves from friends, newspaper or school text book(history) but never come to there. In here, i got a chance to introduce all about Niah caves. I believe that it is certainly one of the most important and unusual attractions to visitors.
