Kota Kinabalu or “KK” as it’s affectionately known to the locals, is the
capital city of
Sabah, Malaysian Borneo and the city you will fly into when
arriving from Australia, New Zealand or from Asia. Kota Kinabalu is a
pleasant Borneo surprise, set between lush tropical hills and the South
China Sea. As well as the state capital, KK is a resort city of exciting
contrasts – vibrant, serene and hassle-free, with modern infrastructure and
many attractions.
Tunku Abdul Rahman Park is 20 minutes by fast boat from downtown and an
ideal place to stay overnight or alternatively visit as a day trip from your
hotel for water sports, marine life and a great island lunch on white sandy
beaches looking back to downtown KK.
