Meeting the South China Sea, Kota Kinabalu sprawls across Borneo’s northwestern coast, with mighty Mount Kinabalu looming in the distance. This vibrant Malaysian city blends modern waterfront boardwalks with bustling markets and floating mosques. As capital of Sabah state, it serves as gateway to tropical islands, orangutan sanctuaries, and pristine rainforests. Street food vendors dish out fresh seafood and local delicacies, while sunset-seeking crowds gather daily along the harbor’s edge.
