30 Best Homestay In Kota Kinabalu For Your Trip
Kota Kinabalu is the capital city of Sabah and had received official city status by the Malaysian Government on the 2nd February 2000. Like many cities in the world, Kota Kinabalu is a historical testament of resilience. In fact, towards the end of World War II around the year of 1945, the city was torn to shreds when allied bombings left the city with only 3 standing buildings. With historical events going as far back as the 15th centuries, it is only logical that it plays a big role in putting Kota Kinabalu's name on the map.
History aside, that in itself wasn't the sole reason why Kota Kinabalu is a big player in Malaysia's tourism game and definitely is more than meets the eye. Among other elements of Kota Kinabalu's tourism are attractions such as Kokol Hill, Marine Museum, Tanjung Aru Beach, Filipino Market, Tambunan Rafflesia Reserve and the list goes on. On paper, these are the attractions in Kota Kinabalu just to name a few but when you're really there, it is a completely whole new ball game.
