**Kota Kinabalu Travel Review 🌴**
I went to Kota Kinabalu through the Hana Tour package. It was a trip full of unforgettable memories!
<1. See walking 🐠>
Sea walking in Kotakinabalu was a really special experience, where you could actually see the fish while walking through the sea. Seeing the fish swimming right next to each other, it felt like we were in a different world. With coral in my hands in the sea, a lot of fish flocked to my hands and started eating it. When the fish were feeding in my hands, I felt a little tingling, and that was a really interesting and fun moment.
I took pictures and videos of the moment with my underwater camera, but when I watched it again later, I could feel the emotion of that moment. The moment with the fish really left an unforgettable memory!
<2. Special Night of Firefly Tour ✨>
We had a firefly tour at night, but it rained a lot and almost got canceled. Fortunately, after an hour, the rain stopped short, so we were able to take the tour. Although there were not many fireflies shining, fireflies everywhere reacted to the light signals we sent. Sparkling fireflies were fantastic.
In particular, a firefly flew into my wife's arms and I could see them up close. At that moment, I could feel the beauty of nature. I had a really magical night watching the shining dance of the fireflies with the clear air of the mangrove trees after the rain stopped.
<3. Sunset 🌅>
Kota Kinabalu's Sunset was such an art!
As if a painter were brush strokes on a huge canvas of the sky, red paint spread and beautiful colors spread out. Looking at the moment, I felt as if I were in a beautiful paradise to end the day.
What about the golden sunbeam reflected on the ocean! When the warm wind blew gently and my hair was fluttering, it felt like time had stopped, and all my worries disappeared. But the ecstasy started to rain after a little while, five minutes! I almost didn't see the beautiful sunset.
<4. Blue Mosque Temple 🕌>
When I visited Kota Kinabalu's famous Blue Mosque temple, I felt like I had entered a fairy tale.
The beautiful architecture of the mosque and the blue dome reminded me of Aladdin's palace. Palm trees and green grass were spread out around the area, creating a peaceful atmosphere.
When I took a walk around the temple, the Blue Mosque temple was a place where I could feel the beautiful architecture and peaceful atmosphere.
<5. Food 🦀🦑🐟>
Seafood was delicious in Kota Kinabalu. From deep-fried squid to fresh fish to raw shrimp that melts gently in the mouth to crab, the whole variety of seafood was superb. Stir-fried vegetables and warm soup were indispensable. It was a really good seafood dish!
<6. Imago Shopping Mall 🏬>
The Imago shopping mall is a modern shopping mall in Kota Kinabalu! There are various stores up to the fifth floor, so you can enjoy the joy of shopping. Samsung Galaxy phones are expensive because they are similar in price to Korea, but Chinese phones such as Huawei and Xiaomi are also on display.
There are also delicious restaurants and supermarkets in the basement, so you can solve them right away when you are hungry while shopping. There are many Naver products, and it's really convenient to exchange Korean money at nearby currency exchange!
<7. The dorm 🏨>
We stayed at Ming Garden Hotel. It was convenient to visit on foot as it is close to the airport and there is a big shopping mall called Imango. Breakfast was served with a little new menu every day, especially fish dishes, toast, salad, and coffee. ^^
<8. Traditional Market 🛍 ️ 🍍 >
The atmosphere of the on-site market you can feel as soon as you enter the traditional market in Kota Kinabalu! It was full of colorful tropical fruits and vegetables, and lively voices of the locals. The market was truly the best place to experience the local culture. The instant tropical fruit coconut milkshake was also an unforgettable taste.
Every moment in Kota Kinabalu was a precious memory. I can't wait to visit again next time! 😊
