    This Floating Mosque is a stunning piece of architecture built on the water, often regarded as one of the city’s most iconic landmarks. Its design features a blend of modern Islamic architecture, complemented by intricate decorative calligraphy of Quranic verses.

    Visitors are required to pay an entry fee of RM 10 (approximately USD 2.25 at the time of this visit). Female visitors, including those already wearing modest clothing, are required to wear long robes and headscarves provided by the mosque, so there is no need to worry about dressing modestly beforehand. These garments must be worn regardless of personal attire.

    Shoes are not allowed inside the mosque, but a designated area is provided for tourists to store their footwear. Be sure to use the storage room rather than leaving your shoes on the stairs to avoid any inconvenience.

    The mosque itself is relatively small and features separate prayer halls for men and women. While the interiors are modest, the mosque’s beauty is best appreciated from the outside, especially with its serene reflection on the surrounding waters, making it a popular spot for photography.

    We visited the botanical gardens in the Mount Kinabalu National Park. There was a small additional charge for this on top of the 50 ringgit park entrance/conservation fee. It was worth the extra as the gardens were a lovely cool oasis. You can expect to spend between 15 minutes and an hour here, depending on how interested you are in plants.

    Been here twice to Kokol haven. They just finished adding some photo taking spots. Good for family outing also another option to watch Kota Kinabalu sunset from afar.

    The tour was informative and interactive and our guide did an excellent job of explaining everything to us. It included history, tastings, activities and a dance performance. Unfortunately the facilities are suffering from termite damage - be careful where you walk! Allow 2 hours in total.

    Another photo-stop, just enough time to admire the beautiful structure and unusual design which includes 17 domes and a single minaret. The building dates to 1970, completed in 1975 and opened by Sultan Yahya Petra ibni Almarhum Sultan Ibrahim, constitutional King of Malaysia at the time. It has room for 5,000 male worshippers and a balcony set aside for 500 female worshippers.

    There was a service happening when we visited, but we could still access a lot of the garden, smaller temple areas. Very beautiful and we didn't have to pay an entrance fee.

    The "I Love" sign is now a somehow cliched urban decoration around the world. The Kota Kinabalu version is right at its Pacific waterfront. It is like a check-in spot for tourists.

    This is a unique Hindu temple, it caters to the worship of not just one, but to ALL the 6 manifestations of the Supreme.
    (Ganapathyam, Saivam, Saktam, Vaishnavam, Sauram, Kaumaram).

    This is a floating Hindu temple surrounded by lotus pond with fishes.

    Holy and spiritual experience.

    There is another temple for Lord Subramania near Lok Kawi Wildlife park.

    Photo stop while on shore excursion. This unusual building dates to 1976 and opened to the public a year later. I had to undertake some research in order to appreciate the construction method. The building has a central core with steel brackets supporting each floor, glass facade with 72-sided polygon shape and a revolving floor on the 18th level that completes a 360-degree rotation each hour. 30 storeys in height, it is one of only four 'hanging structures' in the world to this design. It was originally named Sabah Foundation Building but was renamed in 2001 in honour of Datu Mustapha bin Datu Harun, first Governor and third Chief Minister of Sabah State.

    Beautiful short stop to make in town opposite Suria Sabah mall. Great example of a community art project with meaning that beautifies a corner of KK. Currently in its 3rd exhibition focusing on marine life. Our 6 year old loved seeing the sculptures of some animals we'd seen in the wild. Then pop into the mall for a drink or ice cream when you get too hot!

    This is one of the very few colonial buildings in Kota Kinabalu. Atop a small hill next to downtown, Atkinson Clock Tower is a somehow odd appearance in the city. Unfortunately it is currently under renovation and visitors cannot get close.

    This fish statue is at a waterfront roundabout in downtown Kota Kinabalu. Without much information on display, the marlin has little to offer tourists.

    We had time to kill at the airport so we decided to duck across and check this memorial out. It was well worth the time. The memorial is well kept and the history behind taught me about something I never knew happen, which also gave me a greater respect of the people from this eara. If you have the time, definitely have a look for yourself.

    small farm, nice scenery. Try their gelato. Personally love their yogurt and chocolate favors. Need to pay RM5/person, reasonable, you can take lots of photo here.

    We are in our 60sand booked a 1 night stay for a 'different' experience. We went with some trepidation but were pleasantly surprised. Though the rooms were simple and basic, the towels, bed and bedding were spotlessly clean. No en suite here - European style toilets and showers in block outside were basic but fine.

    Food was simple but lukewarm though plentiful (chicken and rice, fruit.). Same meal for lunch and dinner. Nice noodle breakfast.

    The family were very welcoming and the children put on a nice dancing display in the evening.

    Warmly recommended.
