Kota Kinabalu, the capital of Sabah, is a beautiful city located by the sea. Capture an overview of the metropolitan area as you drive through town, passing major landmarks. Enjoy a short photo stop at the State & City Mosque and Tun Mustapha Tower also known as Menara Tun Mustapha or the Sabah Foundation Building, is a cylindrical, 30-story glass tower located in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah. It is an iconic landmark, noted for its unique hanging structure design.
Next destination will be the Puh Toh Tze Temple. This impressive temple features a stone staircase-pavilion flanked by 10 Chinese deities leading up to a main temple complex dominated by Kwan Yin, Goddess of Mercy. A Chinese-style reclining Buddha rests inside.
Travel to magnificent Sabah Museum ground with a visit to Sabah's rich cultural heritage - Here you'll find the museum proper, a Heritage Village. Borneo has 32 ethnic groups, and the Heritage Village provides an excellent summary of the people of North Borneo, from the architectural styles of their homes to their musical instruments and hunting equipment.
Complete your excursion with a visit to the handicraft market and mingle with the local people. This is an excellent place to pick up some bargain souvenirs before returning to the pier.
Notes:
The main building of the Sabah Museum is under renovation and is closed until further notice. Modest attire is required; knees, shoulders and midriffs must be covered.
