Sabah, a beautiful state in East Malaysia. It 's a place where i always want to visit. When mention about Sabah, the pictures comes across my mind are beautiful islands, beaches and of course Mount Kinabalu. This is the first time i m here Kota Kinabalu, Capital city of Sabah.
沙巴， 美丽的东马州属，一个我向往多时的地方。 当提起沙巴，脑海的画面总离不开美丽的岛屿，沙滩，还有哥打京那巴鲁山（神山）。 这是我第一次到哥打京那巴鲁，沙巴首府。
Kota Kinabalu is on the top of Borneo island facing South China Sea, it is located along west coast division of Sabah. Kota Kinabalu is the smallest districts in Sabah but have the largest population. Previously, Kota Kinabalu was known as Jesselton, some local people also call the place as Api-Api or Api, which means fire in Malay.
哥打京那巴鲁坐落于婆罗洲上边，面向南中国海，一个很小的县但却是州内人口最多的地区。独立前其英文名是 Jesselton, 当地人也称它为亚庇, 马来语火的意思。
I went KK with my parents. 3 hours flight from Penang. Once reached KK, we took a taxi (RM 50) to Tune hotel, which is located in One Borneo, about 30 minutes from airport. We booked Tune Hotel during promotion so only cost us Rm160 4nights for two rooms.But i would like to recommend to stay in hotels in Kota Kinabalu Town. This is because Tune hotel is quite far from the town, normally about 20 minutes, but there is always traffic jam near One Borneo, so sometimes may take up to 30 minutes to reach the town. It is also not very convenient if you would like to hunt for local food near KK town because the shuttle bus provided by One Borneo only run every one hour from 9am onward and stop only in one location, Warisan Square.
这次的亚庇之旅是和爸妈一起去的，从槟城出发，大概三小时的机程。到了机场我们便乘上德士去 Tune Hotel, (车费：RM 50) . Tune Hotel 坐落于One Borneo, 大概半个小时车程从机场。我们是在促销期间订的所以非常便宜，两间房住四天才RM160. 不过， 我还是会建议住在KK市区的酒店，因为Tune hotel 离市区大概要二十分钟的路程，One Borneo 前的那条路经常塞车，所以有时要花将近半小时才能到市区。 如果想方便逛街，找食物，那住在市区内会更好。虽说OneBorneo 有提供免费巴士但是却非常不方便，巴士早上九点后每小时才一趟且只停在 文化广场前。

First day, we took shuttle bus to KK town. We walked along the waterfront. There are many seafood restaurants, pubs and cafeterias along waterfront. If you wanna hunt for more local foods and buy some fresh and cheap seafood or vegetables, you can walk further down to Night Market beside waterfront. There are variety of foods and drinks available. We decided to try on BBQ seafood in Night Market. The price was very reasonable but the taste just normal. If you are not too picky, do try this BBQ seafood and feel to be locals ( there are quite a numbers of local people in this night market). After dinner, we walked along the waterfront enjoy a leisure evening.
第一天，我们搭了免费巴士到KK市区。沿着堤岸走，你会发现有许许多多的海鲜馆，咖啡馆及酒吧，听着海风，和杯啤酒或咖啡，多么美好的享受哦！如果你想要吃到更多当地食物，不妨沿着堤岸往下走，你将会看到一个夜市场。也是内除了有新鲜便宜的海鲜及蔬菜，也有许多的食物如海鲜煮炒，面或米粉汤，马来糕点，烧烤海鲜及各式饮品。我们吃烧烤海鲜，点了鱼，虾还有墨鱼，价格非常合理，不过味道一般般。如果不太过挑剔，不妨试一试这里的烧烤，体会一下当当地人的感觉。（夜市内有许多当地人 ）。晚餐后，我们又继续散散步，吹吹海风，享受休闲的傍晚。
The next day, again we took shuttle bus to KK town. It was Sunday and we went to Sunday Market in Gaya street. I like such market so much, it is a best place to hunt for unique and cheap stuffs. We have spent nearly 3 hours in this market. There are variety of stuffs ranging from clothes, pearls, jewellery, unique native crafts,pets，foods，vegetables and fruits.The market is crowed with people.
隔天， 又搭了免费巴士到 KK 市区。 我们去了Gaya 街的星期天市场（只有每逢星期天才有的）。我是爱逛这类市场的人，因为可以淘到特别，又价廉物美的东西，尤其是手工艺品。我们大概逛了了三个小时。这人山人海的市场内包罗万象，有衣服，首饰，珍珠，手工艺品，宠物，食物，蔬菜水果。
I have bought pearl earring, hand-make necklace and my mum bought a pearl necklace. Actually, we are not good in differentiate the pearls, but seem the price is quite reasonable, and it looks nice , we decided to grab one home. (The long pearl necklace cost us RM 50 and ear ring cost RM8-9 per pair，).
Ps: Bargain price is a must when you purchase stuffs in this Gaya Market， the pearl necklace price was Rm130，we manage to close the deal with Rm50 after bargain.
我买了珍珠耳环，手工制作的项链，妈妈则买了一条长的珍珠项链。其实，我们并不懂得如何分辨珍珠，不过价格还Okay,而且蛮漂亮的，所以就决定买回来。
（长的珍珠链是RM 50 而 耳环是 Rm 8-9 per pair, 如果普通长度的珍珠链大概可以以RM20-RM30 买到)
Ps: 讨价还价是逛市场必须要做的事情，那珍珠链一开价就 Rm 130,结果成功杀价超过一半，以五十零吉成交。
We took breakfast in Xin Man Tai, Gaya street before shopping. Breakfast： seafood bihun soup, fried noodles, and kong-lou noodles.
早餐：海鲜米粉，炒面，干捞面 - 新万泰，Gaya 街
We ate lunch at Yi Feng restaurant, which is located opposite the Atkinson Clock tower。Lunch: Laksa, noodles。
午餐： Laksa 和干捞面 -怡丰餐馆 -Atkinson 钟塔对面
The next location was State museum and Cultural village. Museum is a must place for me to visit whenever i reach a place. For me, Museum is a quick way for me to understand the history of the place and i enjoy hanging around museum very much ( The entrance fee is Rm 2). You can take Taxi from downtown to Museum, about Rm 8-9. You also can take a bus to Penampang direction, remember to stop when you noticed Queen Elizabeth Hospital on your right. There is a signboard to museum near bus stop, about 5 minutes walking distance you will see the entrance to museum. Cultural village is just slight opposite the museum.
下一个地点是博物馆 和文化村。博物馆是一个快速了解一个地方的历史及文化的好去处。（入门票：RM 2). 你可以直接从市区做德士到博物馆，大概Rm8-9的德士费。当地也有巴士经过博物馆，你可以搭去Penampang 方向的巴士，然后在Queen Elizabeth 医院 对面下车，你会看到博物馆的牌，往小山丘走大约五分钟就可以看到博物馆大门了。文化村是在博物馆侧对面。
It's time for dinner. We decided to go Welcome Seafood Restaurant recommend by my friends. The seafood is fresh especially the scallops. In general, the food in this restaurant was quite delicious...yummy yummy !
The crabs sell in the restaurant is very cheap only Rm18 per kg. Location: Asia City Complex , KK and
another branch in Penampang.
晚餐时间， 我们决定到朋友介绍的大茄来海鲜餐厅。这里的海鲜还满新鲜的尤其是那扇贝。值得一提的是这里的螃蟹只卖RM 18 per Kg, 非常便宜。Location: Asia City Complex，KK ,另一间在Penampang.
