Kota Kinabalu, the capital of the state of Sabah sits on the northwest coast of Borneo
facing the beautiful South China Sea. The largest urban centre in Sabah, KK - as it
is affectionately called - is a popular gateway for travelers visiting Kinabalu National Park
and the spectacular Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park.
There are plenty of reasons to linger in this friendly city by the sea. By day visitors
can explore KK's many natural and cultural attractions.
As the sun sets and the cool breeze washes inland, locals and visitors head for the popular
KK Waterfront and Boardwalk for its huge selection of eateries, pubs and cafes.
Fabulous night markets such as the famous Filipino Market by the waterfront never fails
to pull in the crowd.
Close to Sabah's many natural wonders, and a welcoming, laid-back destination in its
own right, it is easy to see why Kota Kinabalu is one of Malaysia's most loved cities.
