Sabah Travel | New discovery! Overlook the sunset in Kota Kinabalu.

🇲🇾 A local tour guide friend heard that I like sunsets and am a sunset chaser, so he recommended a great place to enjoy the sunset in Kota Kinabalu, the "Signal Hill Observatory Platform." This is one of the highest viewing points in the city center, where you can overlook the entire city, the coastline, and the mountains in the distance. When the sun sets, you can enjoy the romance of the sunset while looking at the city from afar. 🧗 The Signal Hill Observatory Platform is located above the city center, and there will be a wave of tourists at around 4 or 5 pm. On the way to the observatory, you can gradually feel the scenery around you opening up, with only the sound of the wind blowing through the leaves in your ears, and the cityscape in front of you appearing before your eyes. 🗻 The Signal Hill Observatory Platform has a wide view, where you can see the buildings, the pier, and the mountains in the distance, which together with the sunset on the sea level form a unique cityscape. At this time, the sunlight slowly fades from the sea level, and the afterglow falls on the buildings and streets, as if covering the city with a soft golden coat. 🌞 There is no need to leave in a hurry after sunset. At the Signal Hill Observatory Platform, the scenery after sunset is also worth stopping for. When the sun completely sinks below the sea level, the sky gradually turns dark blue, and the lights in the city light up one by one, decorating the night sky of Kota Kinabalu. ⛵️ The lights of the pier in the distance and the dim light on the coastline, together with the last orange-red color on the horizon, form a rare night view, and at this moment, Signal Hill shows the tranquility and romance of the city. 🚖 Transportation: The Signal Hill Observatory Platform is not far from the city center, and it is very convenient to walk or take a taxi. 👉 It takes about 20-30 minutes to walk from the city center, and you can slowly climb along the trail of Signal Hill to enjoy the gradually opening view along the way; 🚌 If you choose to take a taxi, it only takes about 5-10 minutes from the city center, and Grab is also very convenient, with a fare of about 20-30 RMB. 🌄 Sunset time: The best time to watch the sunset is between 5:30 pm and 6:30 pm, but it is recommended to arrive a little earlier to get a good spot. 📷 Photography: Signal Hill has a very wide view and is the best place to take panoramic photos. The light changes during sunset are rich, and you can take colorful photos, so feel free to bring your telephoto lens. 👟 Wear comfortable shoes: If you choose to walk to the top, wear comfortable shoes, because the road is short but slightly sloped, and it is easy to walk. 🌄 Watching the sunset in Sabah is a quiet and breathtaking beauty. From this high place, you can not only experience the magnificent natural scenery, but also feel the unique rhythm of the city and enjoy the wonderful time alone!
