Perfect sunset in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah.

Kota Kinabalu, a city where even street names have Chinese names, is perfect for a weekend getaway. · For sunset, besides Tanjung Aru Beach, I Love KK in the city center also offers stunning views. After watching the sunset, cross the road and head to Gaya Street for delicious food. Many restaurants in Gaya are Chinese-owned, offering delicious Bak Kut Teh, BBQ, and roast duck. It's like a food street, with restaurants open during the day and a bustling night market at night. After dinner, you can head to the nearby Durian Bridge for durian and mangosteen - lots of tropical fruits! · Photos 17-18: Accommodation recommendation - Shan Ya Homestay in Wisma Merdeka. The owner is a Chinese girl who speaks fluent Mandarin and is very enthusiastic. She can recommend various travel tips. The building has beautiful scenery and a swimming pool. Photos 15-16 recommend the restaurant downstairs from the homestay, a tea restaurant with Lingnan style. Many local Chinese come here for morning tea. · Two popular activities near Kota Kinabalu are watching proboscis monkeys and fireflies. Both are located far from the city center. Usually, people watch monkeys first, then head to the beach for sunset and finally watch fireflies. Seeing monkeys depends on luck, we didn't see any; but there are many fireflies. If you are traveling with children or elderly, choose carefully.
