Kota Kinabalu Panoramic Drive

Enjoy a panoramic drive in air-conditioned comfort through Kota Kinabalu, the culturally diverse capital of the Sabah state. As you travel through the city, known affectionately as KK, you will pass a variety of attractions, giving you a broad understanding of life here. Along the way, you drive past the waterfront city mosque and you will pause for photos at the glass-and-steel Tun Mustapha high rise. Like most of the buildings in Kota Kinabalu, they were constructed post-World War II, as the Allies razed the city during the war to prevent the Japanese from using it as a base. Islam is the main religion, but Buddhism is also practiced in temples such as Pu Tuo Si, which features traditional Chinese architecture. The Sabah state is also known for its natural beauty, which you will see while stopping for a drink at Marriot Hotel.
