Sunset City Escape🌅

Dreaming of sunrise hikes and epic city sunsets? Kota Kinabalu is calling! 🌅 This breezy Sabah capital serves up lush mountain trails, a vibrant urban skyline, and coastline views that’ll max out your camera roll. Top Spots to Visit: 1. Bukit Botak (89200 Kota Kinabalu, Sabah) – Open 7:00–18:00 Kickstart your day with a hike up Bukit Botak! The trail is beginner-friendly and rewards you with sweeping city and sea views—especially magical at sunrise. Bring extra water and start early to beat the tropical heat. 2. I Love KK (Jln Tun Fuad Stephens, Pusat Bandar Kota Kinabalu, 88000 KK) No trip is complete without a stop at the iconic I Love KK sign. Positioned right along the coastline, it’s THE photo op spot blending modern city vibes, blue skies, and the South China Sea. Swing by close to sunset for soft golden light, or hang around as the city skyline lights up. Pro Tips: - Kota Kinabalu’s coastline, especially along Likas Bay, is legendary for sunset chasers! Scout a spot near the water—it’s all about those pink and pale blue skies. - For unfiltered local flavor, try seafood at stalls near the waterfront (think grilled fish, prawns, and spicy sambal) after your I Love KK visit. - Getting around: Grab is affordable and everywhere, but the coastal walking paths from city center to Likas Bay are actually super scenic and safe during daylight. No visa hassles for most travelers, cash is still king at local eateries, and rain comes fast—pack a light jacket just in case. #kotakinabalu #sabahviews #sunsetchasers #traveltips #citytosea
