- Tun Mustapha Tower - Just a short distance away is the iconic Sabah Foundation Tower (Menara Tun Mustapha), where visitors can admire its impressive height with a guide! Although primarily an office building and not a typical tourist attraction, its unique 72-sided circular design, suspended by high-tensile steel rods, resembles something from a sci-fi film—an architectural marvel that might make one wonder if it’s ready to launch into space! Capture some stunning photos of its exterior.
- Menara Kinabalu/Pusat Pentadbiran Negeri Sabah (PPNS) - The Kinabalu Tower features an unusual 72-sided polygon shape, seemingly crafted by a geometry-loving octopus, and a revolving floor that might make one feel like they’re on a merry-go-round. Explore its history as one of the world’s four “hanging structures.” Formerly known as the Sabah Foundation Building, it stands as a remarkable engineering achievement and a must-visit landmark in Kota Kinabalu.
- Pu Toh Tze Temple - This beautiful Buddhist temple nestled on a hillside in the Signal Hill area is a hub of Buddhist culture. The Puh Toh Tze Temple resembles a zen garden on steroids, with architecture so detailed it could rival statues that appear freshly painted, and meticulously maintained gardens. Breathe deeply and absorb the tranquil atmosphere while enjoying views of the city and the South China Sea.
- Masjid Bandaraya Kota Kinabalu - Visit the Kota Kinabalu City Mosque for its breathtaking “floating” appearance (closed on Fridays for prayer). It’s the largest mosque in Sabah, featuring a lagoon, prayer hall, and a design that seems to perform a graceful water ballet, especially when the tide is high! It’s a treasure trove of Islamic architecture and a photographer’s dream! Prepare to capture some stunning photos! Enjoy a leisurely walk and admire the magnificent architecture while appreciating the serene reflection in the water. Robes are available at the entrance if needed for attire.
- Filipino Market - This handicraft market is a treasure trove of authentic Sabahan souvenirs. Explore the stalls where pearls demand attention (no purchase necessary), traditional beadwork (like the hinava) showcases its allure, wood carvings compete for admiration, and local snacks await to be savored. It’s a feast for the eyes and the palate!
- Padang Merdeka Kota Kinabalu - This historic site is where Sabah celebrated its independence and officially joined Malaysia! A tranquil spot in the morning, offering a glimpse into the city’s history and a prime view of the Atkinson Clock Tower’s best performance. It’s a quick stop for a photo that adds a touch of history to your tour!
- Gaya Street - On a Sunday morning, this transforms into the legendary Gaya Street Sunday Market. On other days, the street is lively with shops and cafes, like a never-ending party! Stroll down Gaya Street to discover a charming mix of traditional Chinese medicine halls, coffee shops that brew magic, and modern boutiques as trendy as a cat in sunglasses. Don’t miss the quirky Australia Lane, a small alley behind Gaya Street, where the walls are perfect for selfies with their vibrant murals depicting local life and culture. It’s a picture-perfect spot waiting for your best shot!
