Here are some fun facts about Kota Kinabalu:
⛰ The city is named after Mount Kinabalu, which is around 55 kilometers away and can be seen on a clear day.
🔥 Kota Kinabalu was called Api Api in the past. It is unknown why exactly, but the Chinese still fondly call the city "Api" (亚庇).
💥 Although the British first settled here in 1882, Kota Kinabalu (then called Jesselton) was mostly destroyed by bombs during World War II. Atkinson Clock Tower is one of the few buildings that survived the war.
🏞 There is a very narrow strip of land between the hills and the sea. So most of downtown Kota Kinabalu is built on reclaimed land.
🇲🇾 Kota Kinabalu is one of the most ethnically diverse cities in Malaysia. No ethnic group exceeds 25% of the total population.
