Kota Kinabalu's super exciting travel guide, come and remember it!

Everyone, today I’m here to share with you my amazing travel experience in Kota Kinabalu. It’s definitely a practical guide! On the night of arrival, I stayed at the Old Hyatt Kota Kinabalu, which has an amazing location! It is only 150 meters away from Sin Kee Bak Kut Teh, 700 meters away from the pier, 150 meters away from Gaya Street, and only 100 meters away from the Skybridge Durian Night Market, making travel very convenient. Although the room is a bit old, it is clean and tidy and it is comfortable to live in. Day 1: Eat and see. I went to try Xin Ji Bak Kut Teh at noon. As for the taste, I would give it a passing score, but since I was there, it was still worth a try. In the afternoon, I took a taxi straight to the University of Sabah. Wow, that pink building is so girly. It looks beautiful no matter how you take pictures of it. It can be a blockbuster movie in minutes. Next we went to the Floating Mosque. It only costs RM5 to visit the outside, but if you want to go inside it costs RM10 (both inside and outside are included). The management here is quite strict. You have to wear the robes they provide. You are not allowed to dance in the hall, enter the prayer hall, or do certain gestures. To be honest, I didn’t find it particularly stunning inside, so I recommend that you just take some photos outside, which will also produce great photos. I went to the durian night market in the evening. Mangosteen was so cheap that I ate a whole bag of it. It was so satisfying. Day 2: Change your accommodations for a different experience. I packed up and checked out in the morning, and checked into the Magellan Sutera Resort in the afternoon. It was really worth it! There are free snorkeling programs and several swimming pools. I would like to talk about the restaurant next to the spa. The food is cheap and delicious. The chicken rice is highly recommended, which is very much in line with our Chinese taste. In the evening, I took a taxi to Tanjung Aru Beach to watch the sunset. Unfortunately, my luck was not so good. The sunset was not as beautiful as I imagined. Maybe I was used to seeing beautiful sunsets in Xiamen, so my requirements were a bit high. But there are many stalls there, where you can buy some snacks to fill your stomach before going back to the hotel. Tomorrow, I plan to stay in the hotel, snorkeling, swimming, eating and drinking to my heart's content, and enjoy a relaxing time. Kota Kinabalu is such a place, with delicious food, beautiful scenery, and each place has its own unique style. Although there are some minor regrets, the overall experience is superb. If you come here to travel, follow my guide and you will definitely have a great time. Come to Kota Kinabalu and start your wonderful journey!
