Kota Kinabalu, formerly known as Jesselton, is the city capital of Sabah as well as the capital of the West Coast Division of Sabah. Strategically situated in the Northwest Coast of Borneo Island, facing the South China Sea and Tunku Abdul Rahman Park on one side, and set against the backdrop of Mount Kinabalu; this beautiful ‘Nature Resort City’ stretches for miles along the coast and towards the inland.
Affectionately known as KK or Api Api by the locals, Kota Kinabalu is a popular tourism getaway and a major gateway into Sabah and Borneo Island. Apart from featuring a number of tourism attractions in and around the city, Kota Kinabalu is also one of the most thriving industrial and commercial centers in East Malaysia
There is so much to experience in and around Kota Kinabalu. There are also so many other fantastic places in Sabah you can explore with Kota Kinabalu as your base. Here, I present some "MUSTS", attractions that you shall not miss...

TIME TO GO SHOPPING!!!
Wake up early, have your breakfast.
done with breakfast???, it’s time to shop!
For souvenirs like pearls and crystals jewellery, handicrafts, fridge magnet, key chains, the Gaya street bazaar in gaya district should be your first stop. It opens as early as 7.00am (or even earlier?) and it offers you varieties of souveniers that fits well with your budget, IF you know how to bargain it right.
For branded items like shoes, cloths, bags, etc .. you can also visit IMAGO MALL .
2 kilometers away from gaya street.
