Conclusion

Kota Kinabalu is the state capital of Sabah in Malaysia. It is located on the Malaysian island of Borneo, facing the South China Sea. During World War II, bombs were dropped on Jesselton as part of the Japanese bombing campaign. Jesselton was renamed Api after the Japanese gained control, then Kota Kinabalu four years later after it joined the Federation of Malaya. The city of Kota Kinabalu got its name from the mighty Kinabalu mountain, which is the highest point in Malaysia. As the capital of Sabah, Kota Kinabalu has a historical, political, and touristic significance in Malaysia. Kota Kinabalu’s impressive natural landscape, rich culture, and exciting history presents interesting opportunities for visitors. Such opportunities to experience the unique natural landscape can be found on the group of islands of Tunku Abdul Rahman Park. While cultural experiences can be found in mosques, bustling markets with local people and food, and boardwalks. These ancient landmarks, together with the fast-modernising city and the surrounding big towering old shade trees, give Kota Kinabalu a distinct style, a compelling mixture of old and contemporary.
