You’ll literally want to snap a pic from every angle, it’s sooo good! Located at Masjid Bandaraya Kota Kinabalu (City Mosque), Jalan Tun Ahmad Raffah, 88400 Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia. The mosque sits right next to a serene lake, making those reflection shots absolute fire. Whether you’re an architecture fanatic or just after those viral travel snaps, this place is a must-see!
