This is a very beautiful Temple in Kota Kinabalu which is very well kept and very clean. It has beautiful gardens with a lotus pond and it is so peaceful. I visited this beautiful Temple with my wife during our tour of Borneo in October 2017 and we will cherish the beautiful memories of this beautiful Temple and Borneo always and forever. ????????????????????????

Masjid Bandaraya Kota Kinabalu, the City Mosque is the most famous tourist attraction in Sabah. This is a white and blue structure spread in acres and is a great example of modern Islamic architecture. The mosque is surrounded by water on all sides and hence called the Floating Mosque as well. Quite popular with tourists, it’s a great place to click selfies when you are on a city trip to Kota Kinabalu in Malaysia.

I once visited Puu Jih Shih 10 years back with some of my friends too, the main attraction about this place is the view watching down from the observation deck. It has a beautiful view of the whole sandakan town. And not to forget once you made a turn to the entrance of Puu Jih Shih, you will be welcomed by alot of Buddha's statue. This temple have a history of 30 years, the inside of the temple is really beautiful especially the lotus like flower on the ceiling. You can spend a good 20 minutes here. After a wonderful temple visit, your next destination should head towards town area where you can visit St Michael's Church. See my post for St Michael's Church too!
