Kota Kinabalu
Modern Asian Coastal City
Kota Kinabalu is an unforgettable blend of ethnic cultures that have come together in a colourful manner in this coastal city. Fascinating architecture, both modern and traditional, show how the city has progressed while the natural islands off the coast attract those who prefer nature at its finest.
Marvel at the Tun Mustapha Tower, the city's architectural highlight, that is a symbol of the country's rapid modernisation, then see another masterpiece at Sabah State Mosque, where Islamic elements have been masterfully combined with contemporary design. Visit the Signal Hill Observatory for the best viewpoint over Kota Kinabalu. This is also where you will find the Atkinson Clock Tower that survived World War II.
Dive off the perfect islands to see rare coral and colourful reef fish. Pack a picnic to take to Sapi Island or hike through the interior Sulug Island, which need to be reached by boat. Sample the variety of delicious cuisines offered in the restaurants and by the hawkers' stalls, evidence of the many ethnic groups represented here.
