Kota Kinabalu, Sabah


My friends and I took an evening flight with AirAsia (AK5120) from Low Cost Carrier Terminal (LCCT) to Kota Kinabalu. The journey took about 2 hours. I'm a Malaysian Citizen, though Sabah is part of Malaysia , I was only allowed to stay in Sabah for a period of 3 months.

Sabah's population is heterogeneous and culturally diverse, with more than 30 different ethnic races and over 80 local dialects spoken.... Well known as the Land Below The Wind and also Land Of The Sacred Mountain, Sabah is a land of varied landscapes and natural wonders."

We were in town, Kota Kinabalu market earlier for short sight-seeing.

Sabah, Malaysia is close to the Philippines, and therefore there are many Filipinos here...

The next day, we went to Shangri-La's Tanjung Aru Resort & Spa, Kota Kinabalu. It is a beautiful and exclusive resort hotel. If you are in Kota Kinabalu and you need a place to relax, this will be a good choice.
