Got only half day to explore Kota Kinabalu?
Kota Kinabalu may be a little dot, but there is plenty to explore and discover on this island. Enjoy and get the taste of the city, visit museums and neighbourhood and learn interesting facts about its history. Depending on your preferences, you can choose from a morning or an afternoon half-day city sightseeing tour.
This KK “must-see” tour showcases a collection of top KK attractions, from beautiful Mosque to famous landmarks.
SABAH MUSEUM – the state museum of Sabah, Malaysia. The main building also houses the Sabah Art Gallery. Other galleries cover Islamic civilisation, archeology, history, natural history, ceramics and brassware.
SIGNAL HILL OBSERVATORY TOWER – the highest point in the city and one of the best places to get a beautiful panoramic view of Kota Kinabalu.
KK CITY MOSQUE – the largest mosque in Kota Kinabalu, and possibly the most beautiful one in Malaysia.
TUN MUSTAPHA – third tallest building in Borneo. The building was formerly named Yayasan Sabah Tower , a state-sponsored foundation then it was renamed in 2001 to honour Tun Datu Mustapha, a former Sabah chief minister.
PUH TOH TZE TEMPLE – is a famous and biggest buddhist temple located off Tuaran Road. Built in 1980, the temple was designed with its traditional Chinese architecture.
ZERO KM – situated in the vicinity of the Sabah Tourism Board (STB) building which had housed the pre-war post office during the British Occupation. In many countries, Zero Kilometre was a particular location (often in the nation’s capital city and also in individual cities) from which distances were traditionally measured, and the city’s central post office was often used as the marker.
Thank you so much Sabah Tourism Board for making our stay in KK a wonderful one.
