Start your tour with a scenic drive through Kota Kinabalu City. The city, formerly known as ''Singgahmata'' or ''the Place where the Eye Lingers'', has risen from the destruction of the last world war to become a vibrant and modern city that still retains its traditional charms.
See many places of interests in the city centre such as Menara Tun Mustapha (formerly Sabah Foundation Building) - this circular tower of steel and glass standing at 30 storeys high is instantly recognisable as a Sabah landmark. It has a central core with steel brackets supporting each floor. When completed in 1977, it was one of the three buildings in the world based on this design concept.
Other places of interest include University Malaysia Sabah, Sabah State and City Mosque and the Sabah Museum for the historical and cultural aspects of the indigenous people. Enjoy a brief stop along Signal Hill which provides an awesome bird's eye view of the city skyline and nearby islands before stopping at a handicraft market to pick up some souvenirs.
