Capital of Sabah
Rated as one of the best places in the world to watch the sunset, Kota Kinabalu, Sabah offers a spectacular backdrop for sunset viewing. You can gradually see the sun going down the horizon changing the water from blue to gorgeous golden. In fact, it was an assortment of colors – a blend of orange, red and yellow.
Floating Mosque
Situated near the sea, this majestic white mosque boasts similar features to the Nabawi Mosque in Medina. This floating mosque has a prayer hall which houses three madrasahs and accommodates from 9,000 to 12,000 people at a time. By far the largest mosque in Kota Kinabalu, the Kota Kinabalu City Mosque is even possibly the most beautiful one in Malaysia – the man-made lagoon which surrounds it gives a serenely gorgeous and dramatic look to the mosque on a full moon night.
