Kota Kinabalu or also more fondly known by the locals as KK, is the capital of the state of Sabah on the Malaysian part of Borneo. Kota Kinabalu is a relatively big city with about 315,000 inhabitants. Kota Kinabalu City from high ground When I flew to Kota Kinabalu on the 27th of January 2020 for my internship with Borneo Eco Tours, I expected the city to be like Kuala Lumpur. I pictured a big city with lots of tourists, big shopping malls and tall buildings, with a very modernized and western look. And in some parts, that is all true, but for me, Kota Kinabalu is much more than that. Once in Kota Kinabalu, I started to explore the city. I remember having dinner at the Filipino Market on my first night. This market is at the waterfront and offers the most delicious food and much more! The following days, I started to get familiar with the city center while walking around. Kota Kinabalu indeed offers a few luxurious shopping malls like Imago and Suria Sabah, which house a range of brands and products that are both local and international. However, those shopping malls were not the reason why I chose to come to Kota Kinabalu. The city has much more to offer.
