Kota Kinabalu is the capital of Sabah State and the departure point for climbers heading to Mount Kinabalu. As with most towns in Borneo, Kota Kinabalu looks out to sea, boasting a lovely harbour and seaside town ambience.

There are local buses that run between the city and the airport until 9 p.m. and which are much cheaper than a taxi or special shuttle.
