Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia travel 2019
Kota Kinabalu Malaysia Travel Vlog 2019, Kota Kinabalu Malaysia beaches, Kota Kinabalu Tourism & Vacations 2019
The capital of the state of Sabah located on the island of Borneo, this Malaysian city is a growing resort destination due to its proximity to tropical islands, lush rainforests and Mount Kinabalu. Generally referred to as KK, it is located on the west coast of Sabah within the West Coast Division. KK is the largest city in the state in Sabah and is the main gateway into the island of Borneo.
KK lies by the coast overlooking South China Sea on a narrow flatland and occasional hills bordered by Crocker Range which hosts Mount Kinabalu. The urban sprawl is concentrated along the coast towards the north and south of the city.
Kota Kinabalu is a growing city of around 500,000 inhabitants. Recent economic growth has resulted in urbanisation of the city reaching adjacent districts of Penampang and Putatan with a total population of almost 800,000. Recent growth and importance is due to being the administrative capital, a major transportation hub, growing port, manufacturing hub, growing tourism as well as being the major gateway into Sabah and East Malaysia. Kota Kinabalu was granted city status in 2000 becoming the sixth city and also currently the sixth largest urban/metropolitan area in Malaysia.
Kota Kinabalu was previously known as Jesselton while under British colonial rule from the late 1800s until 1963 when the British left and after Sabah became part of Malaysia. Most of the town was destroyed due to bombings during World War II hence there are not much pre-war historical sites around the city. Before the British arrived, the area was also known by a number of other names such as Deasoka (below the coconut tree), Singgah Mata (pleasing to the eye), Api-Api (fire!) and Gaya Bay.
The people of KK consists of Chinese, Kadazandusun, Bajau, Brunei Malays, as well as significant migrant population from Indonesia and Philippines, many of which are naturalised citizens. There are also many migrant/expat population from India and a growing number from Republic of Korea.
Central Kota Kinabalu is often referred to as Kota Kinabalu City Centre or the Central Business district (CBD) or simply Downtown KK and is located on the narrow coast overlooking Gaya Island. This is where most hotels, travel agents, transportation bases and most of the action are found. Most of the city centre lies on reclaimed land due to shortage of land in the area as it is blocked by Signal Hill (Bukit Bendera). Areas which lie within the city centre includes Kampung Air, Api-Api, Segama, Sinsuran, Bandaran Berjaya, Gaya Street, KK Port and towards south are Karamunsing, Sembulan, Tanjung Aru and Sutera Harbour.
Due to lack of land in the city centre, other important commercial areas have sprouted outside CBD. Some of these areas have been long in existence as small townships (pekan) such as Luyang, Inanam and Menggatal and in adjacent districts of Penampang (Donggongon) and Putatan while some are recently developed residential-commercial areas such as Alam Mesra, Kingfisher and 1Borneo near Menggatal; Lintas, Penampang Baru and Bundusan.
The climate in KK is charaterised by uniform year-round temperature of 32°C (90 °F)(avg. high) and 22°C (72 °F)(avg. low). Rain falls quite often with occasional dry streaks. Low rainfall begins in January till April, increasing in May till August, intensifying in September till November and slows down in December.
See in Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia
=======================
Atkinson Clock Tower - Built in 1902 in memory of Francis George Atkinson, the first district officer of Jesselton, as Kota Kinabalu was then called. He died from malaria and a subsequent heart attack that year aged just 28. The tower is on a hill beside Jalan Tunku Abdul Rahman.
The Signal Hill Observatory is a 10 minute uphill walk from the Atkinson Clock Tower and offers a good view of the city centre.
The Green Connection Aquarium [52] - The best place to see Borneo's aquatic wildlife without leaving the city. Particularly popular with children. Lots of things to see and do, including touching certain creatures like sharks and snakes or diving into a large tank and feeding the fish within it. Opportunities for interns & volunteers are occasionally available. 10 minutes outside the city centre by taxi (RM15-20).
Tanjung Aru Beach - Kota Kinabalu's most popular beach. Frequented by locals for strolls or picnics, especially on the weekends. There are many food stalls and a couple of bars. 10 minutes by car from the city centre.
Likas Bay Beach - Located along Jalan Tun Fuad Stephens, this smaller and less pretty beach is also popular among locals. There is a view to be had of ships anchored off the city's main port at Sepangar Bay.

PANDAN PANDAN ISLAND ESCAPADE
PANDAN PANDAN ISLAND
Pandan Pandan Island Paradise – Tucked Away in the Quiet and Peaceful Usukan Cove, Kota Belud
Feel the sand beneath your feet, breathe in the crisp fresh air and take a dip in the cool crystal clear wate. This is what Pandan Pandan island can offer you, an opportunity to unwind in its peaceful and private ambience. Separated from the mainland by just a mere distance, Pandan Pandan Island will captivate you with its mere beauty. Set in a secluded location, you may invest your time to enjoy the various sea sport activities (some of which optional & chargeable), swimming in the calm sea or sunbathing on its white sandy beach at this privately-owned island destination.
Pandan Pandan Island is encircled by fringing reefs which are largely intact. Just a stone's throw away from the mainland, be mesmerized by the variety of corals and marine life as you engulf in snorkeling at the island. You may stumble upon grouper, squids, baby barracudas and snappers. If lady luck is on your side, you may also be greeted by playful dolphins or mother turtles. The uninhabited fronting mainland offers the opportunity to hop to a few other hugely untouched beaches.
Pandan Pandan Island is a ten-minute boat ride from the departure point of Usukan Cove Lodge located in Kota Belud, a district situated north of Kota Kinabalu, the capital of Sabah. The journey from Kota Kinabalu to Usukan Cove Lodge will take you an hour and a half. You may sit back and relax throughout the journey and set your eyes upon rustic village landscape and paddy fields that welcome you along the way.
