🌍 About Kota Kinabalu
Kota Kinabalu isn't a city you come for the city — it was flattened in WWII and rebuilt plain. You come because it's the launch point for two things. Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park is five islands a 15-minute boat ride from the waterfront, with snorkelling and diving right off the sand. And Mount Kinabalu, Malaysia's highest peak at 4,095m, is a two-hour drive inland — the climb is bookable but needs a permit months ahead. Eat hinava: raw mackerel cured in lime, ginger, chilli and shallots, Sabah's answer to ceviche. The Tanjung Aru sunsets are genuinely worth timing dinner around.
