Kota Kinabalu Old Town City 🇲🇾

[Trip Moment Delivery.🗞️] Let's go to Kota Kinabalu Old Town for this trip!!✈️ 🛄ㅣKota Kinabalu Old Town🏘 When I traveled to Kota Kinabalu, the beautiful scenery of the seaside was impressive, but I wanted to experience the local history and culture firsthand, so I visited Old Town. As the name suggests, Old Town is an area with old buildings and a traditional atmosphere, and it was a special space where Kota Kinabalu's past and present coexist~!! When I first arrived, I was surprised by the completely different appearance from large shopping malls or high-rise buildings. There were low buildings lined up, and the exterior walls were painted in colorful colors, so just walking around made me feel good. Old shops, cafes, galleries and souvenir shops run by local artists each had their own unique character, so it was fun to slowly look around.😆 Also, as I walked, I could see murals and street art here and there, which added to the unique atmosphere of Old Town. I felt like I was traveling back in time, taking a leisurely walk away from the busy city center. More than anything, the warm smiles and friendly greetings of the local people were impressive. Many people naturally talked to me as a tourist and guided me along the way, so it was a time when I could feel the warmth of Kota Kinabalu. Old Town is not fancy or big, but it is a small and charming place. If I visit Kota Kinabalu again next time, I definitely want to stop by again and enjoy the atmosphere leisurely~🫠 ✅️ | Visiting Tips • The market and shops are more lively and there are more things to see if you go in the morning. • It can be hot, so it is good to bring a hat and water. • Cash is often used in the market, so it is convenient to prepare some Ringgit (RM). 📌ㅣAddress: Sabah Malaysia #Southeast Asia Travel #kotakinabalu #Malaysia Travel #Kota Kinabalu #Kota Kinabalu Travel

[Parasailing in Kota Kinabalu🛥] I really wanted to do parasailing, so I did it at Kota Kinabalu Mamutik Island Tour😃 Since it was a same-day reservation, I went to Jesselton Point early and took the 9:30 boat. Since the number of reservations and the boat schedule are different for each window, it is important to choose the right window!! Before I went, I had already thought about which island I would go to, whether I would do the Nanamun tour, what activities I would do, whether I would eat, whether I would rent life jackets or snorkeling equipment, etc., and I went there to easily make a reservation after thinking about the expected price. After haggling over the price I wanted at Jesselton Point, I was able to get on the boat at the pier on time and arrive at Mamutik Island in about 15 minutes, cutting through the sea. And then parasailing!!!!!! The safety officer on the boat kept saying "Pongdang Pongdang Mani Mani" ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Even after riding it, it was so fun that I booked another ride 😍 About 30,000 won was gone in 10-15 minutes, but I think it was worth it. Parasailing is so great 💙 After parasailing, I ate the cup ramen I brought in advance in the shade of the beach, played in the water, and played. It was heaven! I recommend Mamutik as a close island to go from Kota Kinabalu. The water was clear and there weren't many people because we went early, so it was nice😊 ​ #kota kinabalu travel #southeast asia travel #malaysia #kota kinabalu #southeast asia #vacation spot #mamutik island #mamutik #island tour #kota kinabalu island tour #parasailing #kotakinabalu #malaysia #mamutik #mamutikisland #life travel destination #with nature #new year travel #travel guidebook #next time here #2019 travel #life shot spot #life travel destination #year end travel #vacation travel #winter travel
