#sempornahotel 📍 Location: 35min boat ride from Semporna, Sabah, Malaysia 🏝️ Known For: The most breathtaking viewpoint in Borneo Why It's Special 🌋 Volcanic Majesty: Part of Tun Sakaran Marine Park’s extinct volcano cluster 💎 Tiffany-Blue Lagoon: Surreal colors created by coral sand and depth variations 📸 Iconic Shot: The "Two Oceans" view where shallow turquoise meets deep navy. Must-Do Experiences 🥾 The Legendary Hike (45min challenging climb): ✔ 353 concrete steps + rocky jungle trail ✔ Reward: 360° panorama of 7 islands 🤿 Secret Snorkel Spots: - Coral gardens with clownfish colonies - Chance encounters with blacktip reef sharks 🍱 Picnic Perfection: - Pack lunch from Semporna’s famous Restoran Bismillah - Eat on the powder-white sandbar at low tide

Traveling from Taiwan to Semporna requires a day of flights and car rides, so it's best to rest well on the first night and prepare for island-hopping and snorkeling the next day. 😆 When transiting, make sure to exit Kota Kinabalu and recheck in to avoid the risk of illegal entry. Here's a friendly reminder for everyone! ❗️❗️ The car ride from Tawau to Semporna takes about an hour. We opted for a private car for two people, costing 160 MYR. Since it wasn't too expensive, we didn't bother negotiating the price. We booked a two-day tour online. On the first day, we took a boat early in the morning to Tun Sakaran Marine Park for a hike to the summit, where we enjoyed stunning views of the surrounding islands. Then, we headed to Bohey Dulang Island to relax on its pristine white beaches and immerse ourselves in the crystal-clear waters. We had lunch on the beach and went snorkeling nearby, where we saw plenty of tropical fish and coral reefs. Unfortunately, we didn't spot any sea turtles this time. 😅 The second day was dedicated to a fishing trip. Don't worry if you're unfamiliar with fishing gear; the staff on the boat are very helpful and attentive. ☺️ There's also a restroom onboard, so ladies don't need to worry. You can take the fish you catch back and have them cooked at a nearby restaurant. On the third day, we stayed at the Sea Star Resort, where the rooms have direct access to the sea. You can snorkel or enjoy paddleboarding (SUP) in the nearby waters, making for a very relaxing experience. The resort includes three meals and afternoon tea, allowing you to escape the hustle and bustle and enjoy the tranquility of the ocean. We chose a water villa closer to the shore. During high and low tides, you might notice floating trash like empty bottles. If you prefer a more pristine experience, you can stay further out, but those areas tend to have more nomadic groups wandering around. For travelers concerned about safety, it's recommended to stay in water villas closer to the town. My itinerary was simple, leisurely, and flexible. Hope this helps everyone! ☺️

🌴Explore the secrets of foreign islands, and start your trip to Kota Kinabalu now! ✨ In this fast-paced era, a relaxing island trip is like a healing medicine. If you are longing for a unique island trip, want to spend less money and still have fun, then Kota Kinabalu in Sabah, Malaysia is definitely a treasure place you cannot miss! Don’t think that your wallet will bleed when you mention traveling abroad. In Kota Kinabalu, a four-day, three-night trip can be easily completed for 3,000 yuan. The high cost-effectiveness is exciting. Next, I will present you with a detailed travel guide to Kota Kinabalu. You can just copy and paste it to start this dream journey! ## 1. Traffic Guide ✈️ I departed from Wuhan and chose AirAsia to fly directly to Kota Kinabalu. AirAsia’s air tickets are quite affordable, and a one-way ticket costs basically just over 400 yuan. Moreover, AirAsia has a wide range of routes, with direct flights to Kota Kinabalu (also known as Kota Kinabalu) from cities such as Wuhan, Beijing, Shanghai, Hangzhou, Ningbo, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Hong Kong, and Kunming. AirAsia has promotions from time to time, so everyone must always pay attention and buy mobile tickets while there are special offers. The earlier you buy, the sooner you can enjoy this spontaneous trip. On the plane, you can also experience the charm of Southeast Asian cuisine in advance. AirAsia offers a wide variety of meals, with a variety of exotic foods for you to choose from, making your flight journey delicious. Imagine sitting in a comfortable cabin, tasting authentic Southeast Asian cuisine, with blue sky and white clouds outside the window, your mood will become particularly comfortable. ## 2. Accommodation Recommendations 🏠 For accommodation, I recommend you choose the area near Gaya Street. The transportation here is convenient and there are many delicious foods around. If you like the warm atmosphere of a B&B, you can consider the shore and JQ. These two apartment buildings are very new and the environment is also good. Moreover, from here, popular food stores are within walking distance, allowing you to easily enjoy a food tour. However, I personally still recommend staying in a hotel. The hotel facilities are more complete and the service is more thoughtful, which can make your trip more comfortable. ## 3. Cash preparation💰 Although mobile payment is very convenient now, cash is still required in some places in Kota Kinabalu, so it is recommended that you prepare RM500 in case of emergency. ## 4. Itinerary 📝 Day 1 - **You Kee Tea House, taste Bak Kut Teh**: In the early morning, when the first ray of sunlight shines on the streets of Kota Kinabalu, you can go to You Kee Tea House and have a bowl of steaming Bak Kut Teh. Bak Kut Teh is a specialty food in Malaysia. The rich soup, tender pork ribs and fragrant rice are unforgettable. - **University of Sabah (Pink Mosque 🕌）**: After breakfast, head to University of Sabah. The University of Sabah is known as "the most beautiful university in the world", and the pink mosque on campus is a beautiful landscape. The pink exterior and exquisite architecture make you feel like you are in a fairy tale world. Here, you can take photos and feel this unique romance. - **Floating Mosque**: Next, we came to the Floating Mosque, which is built on the artificial lake of Likas Bay. The white building and the blue sky and clear water set off each other beautifully. It only costs RM5 to take photos outside, and if you want to go inside and take a look, it only costs RM10. Walk into the mosque, feel the tranquility and sacredness, and listen to the voice of your heart. - **Watching the sunset at Tanjong Aru Beach 🌅**: In the evening, be sure to go to Tanjong Aru Beach to watch the sunset. The sunset here is known as the third most beautiful sunset in the world. When the afterglow of the setting sun shines on the sea, the whole world is dyed golden, which is breathtakingly beautiful. Girls who like taking photos can book dinner at [zing sunset bar]. The location by the sea offers a great view. You can enjoy delicious food while admiring the beautiful sunset. If you still have energy, you can also go for a sunset paddle board and create beautiful memories on the sparkling sea. Day 2 - **Shopping and eating around Gaya Street in the morning**: Spend the morning at Gaya Street. There are all kinds of delicious food and specialty shops here, so you can’t stop shopping and eating. - **Fuyuan Tea Restaurant**: Have a delicious breakfast with fragrant milk tea and soft bread to start a wonderful day. - **Hong Jinmai Restaurant**: You can choose this place for lunch. Their shrimp balls are very delicious, and the shrimp meat is tender and chewy; the oyster sauce chicken wings are sweeter. The taste varies from person to person. - **Check-in special attractions** - **Yellow Bank**: The unique yellow building is particularly dazzling in the sun and is a great place to take photos. - **Blue Graffiti Wall and Red Graffiti Wall**: Navigate directly to Shuguang Square and you can see these two artistic graffiti walls on the opposite corridor. Taking photos here is very photogenic, as if you have entered a world of art. - **Cheston Pier**: This is the departure point for island hopping tours. Based on online reviews, window 8 is more affordable. I chose a day trip to Pulau Pulau Wantan, which only cost RM180. At the dock, you can see various ships and feel the strong island style. - **Durian Night Market under the Overpass**: At night, be sure to go to the Durian Night Market under the Overpass. During the durian season, durian only costs a few dollars per pound, allowing you to achieve durian freedom. There are also various other fruits and snacks to satisfy your taste buds. - **Gaya Street Night Market (weekends only)**: If it happens to be the weekend, don’t miss the Gaya Street Night Market. In the bustling night market, there are various handicrafts, special foods and performances, allowing you to fully experience the bustle and vitality of Kota Kinabalu. Day 3 - **One-day trip to Pulau Huantan**: The highlight of today is the one-day trip to Pulau Huantan, which only costs RM180 and includes round-trip ferry tickets, 2 snorkeling trips and lunch. The water of Huantan Island is crystal clear and the beach is fine and soft, making it a natural holiday resort. However, you must take sun protection measures before setting off, and it is best to arm your head, after all, the ultraviolet rays at the seaside are very strong. Friends who are prone to seasickness must prepare seasickness medicine. Snorkeling bites can be purchased on the boat for RMB 10 each. If conditions permit, you can also bring your own snorkeling equipment, which will be more hygienic and comfortable. On Huantan Island, you can enjoy snorkeling, get close to colorful tropical fish and coral reefs, and feel the magic and beauty of the sea. We returned to Cheston Pier at around three or four o'clock. - **Perfect Seafood Dinner**: For dinner, go to Perfect Seafood Restaurant. Their seafood is really fresh and delicious. There are all kinds of seafood such as shrimp, crab, fish, etc., and the cooking methods are also diverse, so you can enjoy a feast for your taste buds. Day 4 - **Infinity pool**: You can go to the infinity pool in the morning, relax in the clear water and enjoy the beautiful scenery around you. - **Buy souvenirs at Shiwei Supermarket**: Then go to Shiwei Supermarket to buy some souvenirs. There are various local specialty products here, such as chocolate, coffee, spices, etc. Take them back to give to relatives and friends to share your travel joy. - **Trip to Semporna (can go if you have enough time)**: If you have enough time, you can fly to Semporna from Tawau. AirAsia has many flights from Kota Kinabalu to Tawau, and during promotions the ticket prices are cheaper than a hotpot meal. Semporna is a dreamy place with beautiful water houses and abundant marine life. It is a paradise for water house experience enthusiasts and diving enthusiasts. Don't miss it. How about it? After reading this guide, are you eager to start your trip to Kota Kinabalu? Don't hesitate, take action now to explore the unique charm of this niche island!

I went there in September, the weather was not too sunny and the wind was not too strong, it felt like a good time to go out☁️ Accommodation: Jelly Seawater House Note ⚠️: There are two free boats to the island on the day of Jelly Sea. I didn't pay attention to this time when I booked and missed the last boat. I changed the flight time after comprehensive consideration. So if you want to book this place, you need to make an appointment with the boss ~ or take the boat to the island at your own expense There is a lot in the port! Very! There are many children who will grab your luggage and say they will help you carry it. Be careful not to give them money because they will ask you for money when they come up. If one of you asks for money, others will rush over to ask for it. If you can't get it, a group of them will surround you and ask for it. 👉🏻Features: If you want to see the sea in Semporna beautifully, you must stay far away from the port. I saw many water houses on the way to Jelly Sea, but they were all not far from the port. The sea was not very clear, so it seemed meaningless to stay there. If your budget is limited, you might as well stay at the port. It takes about 30 minutes to get to the island by boat from the port. The sea is clear and you can see fish and starfish. As for food, there are three meals a day + afternoon tea, all three meals are buffet, overall they are good, the dishes are fresh and the portions are large 🏖️Atmosphere/Facilities: The island is completely in a vacation state. The network is not very good. Apart from fishing, diving, taking photos, karaoke and mahjong tables at night, there is really nothing else to do. If you are afraid of being bored, you can bring some board games to play or download a lot of dramas in advance. 💰Average consumption: NT$50,000 to NT$60,000 for two people for two nights, one of which was booked for deep diving in other islands🤿

1.⚠️Travel tips: Malaysia is visa-free, but your passport must be valid for at least 6 months. Remember to exchange Malaysian Ringgit in advance when you go to Semporna. Many shops there do not support online payments. You can withdraw money with UnionPay cards at local ATMs, but there is a handling fee. Buy a phone card in advance. I recommend buying a celcom one, which has the widest network in Malaysia and has a very good signal (✨Many small groups will give it to you). 2. When you go to Semporna to stay in a water villa, don’t choose the ones that cost a few hundred yuan. The environment is poor, there are few entertainment activities, and there is no experience at all. You must make a reservation in advance for a resort in Mataking Island! 💥There is only one resort on Mataking Island, and non-residents are not allowed to enter the island. If you want to go to the island's Tail Beach, you can only make an appointment with the resort. 3. Be sure to wear sports shoes to Pearl Island. Pearl Island is the only island in Semporna where you can climb mountains, but you must remember to wear a pair of comfortable sports shoes. It is more cost-effective to go from Kota Kinabalu Airport to Tawau Airport, which only takes more than 40 minutes and is cheaper. It takes about 3 hours from Kuala Lumpur Airport to Tawau Airport and the price is also expensive. Most resorts adopt an all-inclusive form charged per person. Single occupancy requires a room difference. It is recommended that two people travel together for more economical and affordable 4. For a trip to Semporna, we recommend a 6-7 day Kuala Lumpur + Semporna route:▪️You will usually go to Kuala Lumpur and Malacca, and then spend 3-4 days in Semporna, snorkeling, free time at the resort, etc.▪️If you have enough time, you can also add Kota Kinabalu to watch the pink and purple sunset, play sunset paddle boarding, and enjoy the tropical rainforest and fireflies.
