Kota Kinabalu City Day Tour & Filipino Market Shopping
Our guides will greet you at your hotel lobby upon pick up, and on you go for a day in the sunny state capital. First up, some architectural splendour at the Sabah City Mosque, also known as the Sabah Floating Mosque. Get those shutters snapping as it is the largest dome of its type in Malaysia.
Next stop, the Goddess of mercy and compassion, “Kuan Yin”, stands tall at The Puh Toh Tze Buddhist Temple, located off Tuaran Road. Built in 1980, the temple stands out with its traditional Chinese roofing and structure. Ten large statues of deities adorn the temple, with the Goddess of Mercy, Kuan Yin, standing tall at the main entrance.
Up next, behold the tallest architectural marvel in Kota Kinabalu—The Yayasan Tower, standing 122 meters high, also officially known as Menara Tun Mustapha (Sabah Foundation Building). Built in 1977, this 30-storey circular glass sculpture boasts a unique single-column design that is one of the very few in the world.
Immerse yourself in some culture at the Sabah Museum. Dive deep into the history that shaped Sabah into what it is today. A Heritage Village on the museum grounds grants you passage into the different types of traditional houses of various indigenous groups that bring colour and richness to Sabah.
Enjoy the tastiest fried chicken in Sabah at Borenos Fried Chicken.
Your next destination is Art Attic at Lorong Dewan. This cosy room showcases handcrafted gems and masterpiece creations by talented local Sabahan artists—keep an eye out for unique and useful souvenirs as memoirs of your beautiful stay in Kota Kinabalu!
