Kota Kinabalu city - Borneo, Malaysia

Kota Kinabalu is the capital and largest city of the state of Sabah in Malaysia, located in the north of the island of Borneo. Its area is 352 sq. km, and the population is 244 thousand people. It is located at the foot of Mount Kinabalu and is washed by the waters of the South China Sea. Most of the inhabitants here are Malays, but there are also Indians and Chinese. Islam is the official religion of the country, but in Kota Kinabalu you can easily meet representatives of other religious movements: Hinduism, Christianity and Buddhism. The city is known not only for its developed tourism industry, but is an industrial and commercial region of Malaysia. Kota Kinabalu is a place of contrasts, where begging children and dilapidated buildings can be seen alongside modern hotels and shopping malls. However, the central streets of the capital are relatively well-maintained and arouse the interest of a traveler who finds himself here. So, the embankment, along which numerous cafes and restaurants are concentrated, is considered the main point of congestion for visitors. #bucketlistreboot #malaysia #summervacation
