1. City Mosque




This beautiful white and blue colored Mosque was constructed in 1993 and was officially opened to the public on February, 2000 after Kota Kinabalu received its city status. The Islamic architecture was based on one of the holiest sites in Islam - the Nabawi Mosque, in Saudi Arabia. From a distance, the Kota Kinabalu City Mosque seems to float on the top of the water. This mosque is probably one of the most photographed structure in Kota Kinabalu because of its unique and spectacular structures. When the mosque is illuminated over the black water of Likas Bay, it is considered one of the most beautiful structures in the city and in the entire country of Malaysia.







2. Lok Kawi Wildlife Park




The Lok Kawi Wildlife Park is located along the Penampang - Papar old road, about 25 km from Kota Kinabalu city. It was officially opened to the public on 2007. The park is fully developed by the Sabah Wildlife Departement. The park consists of two components: zoological and botanical.
