[Travel Blog # 1] Kota Kinabalu day1~2

in #travel7 years ago (edited)



This time I booked a ticket for Sabah Kota Kinabalu because of the promotion of Taiwan's Tigerair
Before that I did not know where Kota Kinabalu
(I thought it was a Middle Eastern country)
I searched the internet for Kota Kinabalu

This picture look like Maldives
So I booked a flight to Kota Kinabalu in Sabah

✈✈✈Let's join in the journey to Kota Kinabalu in Sabah✈✈✈

Day 1: Gaya Center Hotel → Philippine Night Market

This hotel is the center of Gaya hotel
Their breakfast area can see the sea (superb)


(This photo was taken on the second day for breakfast)

We arrived in Kota Kinabalu at 17:10
So we went to the Philippine Night Market after checking in
(Philippine Night Market in Malaysia?)
It is said that because of the majority of filipino fishermen here, it is called Philippine Night Market
It was raining ☂
So we just had to eat something food and went back to rest

Day2: WIYA Hainan Chicken Rice → Kota Kinabalu City Mosque → Salut Seafood Restaurant → Kawa Kawa River

If you go to Southeast Asia, you must try Hainan chicken rice
So I recommend everyone to eat it

WIYA Hainan Chicken Rice


(Pyramid-type rice is so cute💓💓💓)
After a meal, go to Kota Kinabalu City Mosque!
Before going to the mosque
change their clothes


(This is my imaginary mosque)

(This is what we shot)A good photographer is really important😩
After leaving the mosque,We are hungry
It's time to have some afternoon tea

Salut Seafood Restaurant


(BBQ clams&Coconut pudding)Recommend coconut pudding delicious👍


We are going to KawaKawa River to see Proboscis Monkey and Fireflies
Proboscis monkey is already on the verge of extinction
There are only less than 3000 left in the world
The guide told us to keep our eyes open👀

(Proboscis monkey perched in the mangroves so we have to go by boat)

(Take this picture with a telescope,I forgot what the name is)
We have seen about five Proboscis monkeys
Unfortunately, we did not capture their photos
So I had to put online photos

(Is not it handsome?)
Back to Kawa Kawa and enjoy dinner


After dinner we go to Nanamun Beach to watch the sunset

After watching the sunset we have to go to the river once again to see fireflies
But there is no picture here

Because I am not a professional camera so I can not shoot it
But the first sightseeing firefly on the river,amazing
The fireflies here are small,About the size of rice grain
It is the smallest firefly in the world

Although no photo, but this is the most worthwhile trip today
The beauty of fireflies in Kota Kinabalu needs to be witnessed
