Go on vacation to Sabah, East Malaysia!

#AugustDestinations2025 #Sabah Sabah, located in East Malaysia, has direct flights from Taiwan, but it seems relatively few Taiwanese tourists visit. Actually, Sabah offers beautiful ocean views, affordable prices, cheap airfare, and affordable hotels, and Mandarin is widely spoken, making it a truly worthwhile trip! This time, I came here specifically for a hotel vacation. I stayed in a sea view room at the newly opened Hyatt Centric Sabah, located on Gaya Street in Kota Kinabalu, in the heart of Sabah. The price was only NT$3,000 per night, including breakfast for two. The room was spacious and comfortable, with a modern, contemporary decor. The room had a balcony with direct ocean views, and the rooftop bar and pool were a perfect backdrop for a vacation! Since this was a vacation, I only visited the Floating Mosque to take photos, Tanjong Aru Beach to watch the world-class sunset, and Gaya Street near the hotel for some shopping. I'll definitely visit other attractions in Sabah next time!
