Kota Kinabalu, a hidden gem in Sabah!

Hey, travel enthusiasts! When it comes to Kota Kinabalu, many people may think of it as just a stopover, but that's a big mistake. Today, I'm going to share with you the charm of Kota Kinabalu. Kota Kinabalu, also known as KK, is located in the center of Sabah, and there are plenty of fun attractions to explore! The first recommendation is the twin islands - Sapi Island and Manukan Island. These two islands are very close to the city center of Kota Kinabalu, and it only takes 10 to 20 minutes by boat to reach them. Once you arrive on the island, the color of the sea is mesmerizing, with a refreshing green hue. Although it may not be as deep blue as the waters of Semporna, I am particularly fond of the green sea, as it has a unique gentleness and charm. So, compared to Semporna, I prefer the sea of Kota Kinabalu. Moreover, Kota Kinabalu not only offers beautiful sea views but also a wide range of exciting water activities! Parasailing allows you to soar like a bird above the blue sea, enjoying the breathtaking scenery from above. Banana boat rides take you on a thrilling ride across the waves, filling the air with laughter. You can also try sea walking, where you can explore the mysterious underwater world up close and have intimate encounters with various adorable fish. In short, there are plenty of fun water activities to choose from, and you can pick a few that suit your budget and preferences for an unforgettable experience. However, I must remind you to be extra careful when snorkeling near the shore. Why? Because there are often sea urchins and other marine creatures resting on the rocks near the shore, and stepping on them accidentally can be quite painful. So, next time you travel, don't just treat Kota Kinabalu as a stopover. Consider staying for a few days to fully experience its unique charm, visit the twin islands to enjoy the beautiful scenery, and try the exciting water activities. I'm sure you'll fall in love with this charming place and create unforgettable travel memories! Come to Kota Kinabalu and start your exciting journey!
