Kota Kinabalu, a dreamlike tropical journey.

Hey, friends! Today, I must share my super fun travel guide to Kota Kinabalu with you. I believe you'll want to set off immediately after reading it! [Transportation] You can fly to Kota Kinabalu. The airport is conveniently located, and there are airport buses that can take you directly to various major stops in the city, which is economical and worry-free. It's easy to get a taxi in the city. You can use a ride-hailing app to call a taxi. Most drivers are very enthusiastic, and you can enjoy the city scenery along the way. Of course, some attractions are close to each other, so walking is also a good choice, allowing you to experience the local life more deeply. [Accommodation] I highly recommend staying in the city center of Kota Kinabalu. For example, the Hyatt Centric is great. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, with complete facilities, and the location is excellent. It's very convenient to eat, drink, and have fun nearby. The hotel service is also very considerate. Staying there is like going home, and it will relieve your travel fatigue. [Recommended Tourist Attractions] Tanjung Aru Beach is a must-see, especially in the evening. Sitting on the beach and waiting for the sunset, watching the red sun slowly sink into the sea, the sky is dyed orange-red and purple-red, and the whole sea is shimmering. It's as beautiful as a dream, and every glance is a pleasure. It feels like your soul is healed. Don't miss the University of Sabah. The campus is huge, and the buildings are unique. The pink mosque has become a popular check-in point. The romantic pink building looks beautiful against the blue sky and green trees. It feels like walking into a fairy tale world. There's also the City Mosque, which stands quietly on the water, with a clear reflection, exuding a tranquil and sacred beauty that makes people stop to admire and take photos. [Food] Speaking of food, you must try Welcome Seafood Restaurant. The creamy tiger prawns and salted egg yolk crab are delicious. The shrimp is tender, and the crab is plump. Every bite is the taste of the sea. The rich sauce mixed with rice will make you eat several more bowls. Don't underestimate Yee Fung Laksa. The laksa, beef offal noodles, and other local snacks are authentic and affordable. Sitting in the lively restaurant, tasting the food, and feeling the local atmosphere is very pleasant. Kota Kinabalu is a charming place. Here, you can enjoy the leisure of the sun and beach, experience the unique culture, and taste unforgettable food. Every corner hides surprises, and every experience is unforgettable. I sincerely hope everyone can come here to take a walk and have a look. I believe you will fall in love with this warm and beautiful city just like me! What are you waiting for? Pack your bags and set off!
