[2025 West Coast Division Attraction] Travel Guide for Mt Kinabalu Viewing Platform (Updated Jul)

#kotakinabaluguide If you thought Sabah was just for diving and beaches, think again. I just did a 3D2N mini escape to Kota Kinabalu, and it turned out to be one of the most aesthetic, adventurous, and totally underrated trips I've had in a while. Here's what went down👇 🕌 Day 1 — Pink & Blue Mosque Hunt + City Chill First stop: UMS Pink Mosque – yes, a legit pastel pink mosque inside Universiti Malaysia Sabah. So photogenic, so peaceful, and barely any tourists around. Next: Blue Mosque (Masjid Bandaraya) – floating over a serene lagoon, this one gives serious Maldives vibes when the water reflects the sky. Evening: Stroll along Tanjung Aru Beach, grab some coconut ice cream, and catch that golden Borneo sunset. 🏝️ Day 2 — Mirror of the Sky + Seafood Feasting Woke up early for the magical Sky Mirror at Kuala Penyu — only visible at specific tides. Imagine a glass-like surface reflecting the sky, and you’re standing on clouds. Back to town for a Sabahan seafood feast — think butter prawns, sambal squid, fresh crabs at local prices. Worth every calorie. 🏔️ Day 3 — Off-roading at the Foot of Mount Kinabalu Booked a 4WD adventure tour near Kundasang, off the beaten path. Bumpy dirt roads, misty forest trails, and endless views of Mount Kinabalu — the tallest mountain in Malaysia. 💡 Highlights: Kota Kinabalu is the perfect short escape that mixes culture, scenery, and soft adventure. You can go from mosque-hopping to mountain trails within a weekend. #KotaKinabaluGuide #SabahTravel #MalaysiaHiddenGems #PinkMosqueKK #MasjidBandarayaKK #SkyMirrorSabah #MountKinabaluAdventure #3D2NItinerary #BorneoEscape #UnderratedDestinations

Mountain Kinabalu is the highest mountain in Malaysia, and usually people will need to take 2 day one night to reach the peak, which the RM 1 note have the picture printing there. Some people might need oxygen in order to breath. In order to reach the peak usually people will need depart 3am next day. So when 6am you will see the most amazing sunrise at the peak, it’s the most amazing moment in my life. And it’s so touching. Sure will going there soon. But just worry when getting old, it might not be easy anymore , so all those younger people should plan your trip to mt. Kinabalu as soon as you still able to.💪🏻 ##mtkinabalu
