Details About Kota Kinabalu
Destinations » Asia » Southeast Asia » Kota Kinabalu
Once the province of pirates and war lords, the northern coast of Borneo is relatively unspoiled by tourism. The bustling port city of Kota Kinabalu boasts gardened homes and busy shopping districts with colorful native handicrafts. Just beyond the city limits lie the tropical jungle and the shrouded peak of Mount Kinabalu.

Attractions
Major shopping malls are located along the main artery of Kota Kinabalu, and you find just about anything from branded goods to local handicraft.

The ferries to the park leave from KK's harbour district at the northern end of the City.
Shopping
Local handicrafts are your best buy, such as baskets, beadwork and pottery. The Filipino Market is a good place for cultured pearls; it has everything from fake gemstones to wooden salad bowls, shirts and traditional local medicines.
