Kota Kinabalu! Highly recommended!!!

✔️ Most hotels and restaurants are located near Gaya Street, or you can stay at Shangri-La Hotel, which is conveniently located near these two places. ✔️ It's the off-season in Kota Kinabalu, so there aren't many people even on weekends. You don't need to queue at attractions or restaurants. The cost for a 3-day, 2-night trip is less than MYR 3,000. Go for it! ✔️ The sea view here is very weather-dependent. It's really beautiful on sunny days. ✔️ The temperature is around 25 to 30 degrees Celsius, which is very comfortable. However, it can be windy sometimes, so remember to wear sunscreen and sunglasses! ✔️ Most attractions are located in and around the city, and are quite close to each other. A one-day tour can be a bit rushed, but a two-day, one-night weekend tour is more relaxing. ✔️ You can join a tour group! There are many one-day tours to choose from, such as the mangrove forest, Mantanani Island, or Mount Kinabalu. ✔️ Watch the sunset ▪️ Tanjung Aru Beach: You can take photos of the sunset with reefs, beaches, waves, and distant mountains. ▪️ Shangri-La Hotel Beach: The sunset here is as beautiful as Tanjung Aru Beach, and the photos are stunning. ✔️ Must-see attractions Mangrove forest (fireflies, sunset, and proboscis monkeys are not to be missed) Tanjung Aru Beach (the coastal road is also beautiful) Kinabalu Park Mantanani Island (island hopping, scuba diving, and snorkeling) Tanjung Aru sunset paddleboarding Gaya Street Night Market
