Kota Kinabalu, a must-visit treasure in Sabah!

Today, I want to introduce you to a hidden gem that is often overlooked - Kota Kinabalu, also known as KK. It is the heart of Sabah, so don't just treat it as a transit point. There are so many fun places to explore here! Let's talk about the twin islands of Kota Kinabalu - Sapi Island and Manukan Island. They are must-visit spots when you come here. They are very close to the city center, just a 10-20 minute boat ride away, and you'll find yourself on these beautiful islands in no time. As you step onto the island, you'll be greeted by the stunning sea, a mesmerizing blend of blue and green hues, with a refreshing green tone. Some may think it's not as pure blue as the waters of Semporna, but I love this shade of green. It exudes a tranquil and charming aura, and compared to Semporna, I'm more captivated by the sea of Kota Kinabalu. The charm of Kota Kinabalu is not just in its beautiful seascape, but also in its rich variety of water activities! Take parasailing, for example. Once you're strapped in and slowly lifted into the air, you'll have a bird's-eye view of the emerald sea and the surrounding scenery. It's like having a wonderful dream in the sky, both thrilling and romantic. The banana boat, on the other hand, is all about speed and excitement. As you race across the sea, the splashing water adds to the fun. And then there's the sea walking, where you can transform into an underwater elf, getting up close with colorful fish and the fascinating underwater world. There are so many water activities to choose from, and you can pick according to your budget and preferences, and have a blast. However, there's a little tip for playing here, especially when snorkeling near the shore. Be careful of your feet, as the rocks near the shore are often covered with sea urchins and other marine creatures. If you accidentally step on them, it could be painful. In short, Kota Kinabalu is a place with beautiful scenery and lots of fun. Next time you pass by, be sure to stop and experience its unique charm. I'm sure you'll fall in love with this surprising travel destination, just like I did. Come to Kota Kinabalu and start an unforgettable journey!
