[Rainbow]Recommended attractions: Petronas Twin Towers, Merdeka Square, Jalan Alor Night Market, Mataking Island, Malacca River Cruise, Stadthuys (Red Square), etc. Must-visit spots[Glister] ✅Water Villas These iconic overwater bungalows are the hallmark of Semporna! Stay at a resort of your choice and wake up to crystal-clear waters right outside your door🌊 Fall asleep to the sound of waves and greet the first rays of morning sun—immersed in island romance, every photo turns into a masterpiece~ ✅Glass Sea Snorkeling The water is so clear it looks like glass! Dive spots like Mataking and Sipadan (diving license required) are absolutely stunning. Plunge underwater to be surrounded by colorful corals and lively fish🐠—it’s like stepping into the world of *Finding Nemo*. Even non-divers can enjoy incredible surprises while snorkeling~ ✅Bajau Sea Nomads Culture Meet the Bajau people, who live their entire lives on boats and are known as "Sea Gypsies."
