Four days and three nights in Kota Kinabalu, chasing the world's top 3 sunsets

🗓️Itinerary: Generally, most people go to Kota Kinabalu by red-eye flights, but the hotel check-in is usually not available until 3pm. Therefore, it is also recommended that friends who arrive in the morning on red-eye flights can find a Chinese driver to pick up the airport and take everyone to the city for breakfast and walk around the city. This is a very good choice. At least you have a basic understanding of the city of Kota Kinabalu. After lunch, check in to the hotel at the right time. I met a good driver who was a part-time tour guide. He took me to the University of Sabah, the Floating Mosque, the Municipal Building, etc., and introduced me to local restaurants. The best thing is that he could exchange Malaysian ringgit for me without sacrificing the real-time exchange rate. It was really conscientious. Check in to the hotel in the afternoon and take a short rest. In the evening, strolling around the night market in the city is also a relief. Day2 In the morning, I chartered a car with a couple to go to the Rafflesia base. I was lucky to see four or five Rafflesias. In the afternoon, I rushed to Magellan Pier to book a ticket to the Kawaka mangrove ferry. You must remember to bargain. Can the mangroves be piled up? The most exciting part is watching fireflies at night, which is particularly spectacular. Day 3 You can book water activities and snorkeling on the surrounding islands. In the evening, I went to Aljung Tan Shangri-La and caught the world's top 3 sunset. It was perfect. Day 4 Sleep until you wake up naturally. If you have time, go to Gaya Road to eat some special snacks. Return to China #Kota Kinabalu Sunset #Sabah Travel
