Itinerary

Stop At: Atkinson Clock Tower, Kota Kinabalu, 88400 Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia
The Atkinson Clock Tower is the oldest standing structure in Kota Kinabalu. It was originally known as the Atkinson Memorial Clock Tower and sits in solitary on the bluff along Signal Hill Road overlooking this seaside city and capital of Sabah, Malaysia.
Duration: 20 minutes
Stop At: Signal Hill Observatory Platform, Jalan Bukit Bendera, Kota Kinabalu Malaysia
The Signal Hill Observatory Tower happens to be the highest point within the city from where you can get bird’s eye view of the entire surrounding area. It is especially worth watching the sunset from this point as the views are simply stunning. You can walk up to the hill or even hire a taxi to reach the top. Even though, there is nothing much in the place except the observatory but, it acts as a nice relief away from the busy city life. You can also make an early morning trip to witness the sunrise from the top.
Duration: 20 minutes
Stop At: Handicraft Market, Jalan Tun Fuad Stephen, Kota Kinabalu Malaysia
The best thing about the Handicraft Market is that you never know what piece of treasure you might unravel during your visit. Some have returned home with an authentic sompoton (a traditional wind instrument), a Murut headhunter’s blowpipe, a coconut-shaped handbag and a wooden-frog that ‘sings’ when you stroke its back with a wooden stick.
The most important tip when visiting the market is to bargain, bargain, bargain! Pick up some local lingo to improve your bargaining skills and you might even walk away a steal.
Duration: 30 minutes
