Located on the northwest coast of the island of Borneo, Kota Kinabalu-often referred to as KK-is the capital of Malaysia's Sabah state. Flanked by the South China Sea to the west and the rainforest to the east, KK is famous for its beautiful beaches, verdant jungles, bustling markets, and the iconic City Mosque surrounded by a sparkling lagoon. While Kota Kinabalu maintains an old-world charm, the city is most certainly on the move. In recent years, it's welcomed a surge of elegant new malls, posh apartment buildings, and a burgeoning arts scene. Thanks to a population that consists largely of ex-pats, the city also boasts a rich culinary culture with food ranging from Indian to Cantonese, available at fine dining establishments and street vendors alike. Whether you want to go hiking through the rainforest, go scuba diving in the ocean, or learn how to prepare an authentic Malaysian meal, there's much to see and do in this colorful destination.
