Did a walking tour if Kota Kinabalu and it ended at this store . Not sure I would have found it otherwise although it is near to the handicraft market. This place has a wider variety of crafts than what is presented at the craft market, from Sabah, beautifully presented and inside an air conditioned store as well!!

This is very few of family Spa in Kota Kinabalu and it is 5 stars rated (same rating as hotel&resorts) Spa by Ministry of Tourism Malaysia. My kid and my mother really enjoyed their massage session, my mum took Herbal Ball which handpicked and made by therapists.. while I opt for Urutan Malaysia Spa which other Spa in Malaysia are selling as well. Worth the experience.. And their ginger tea at last really nice!

Took a grab. A few interesting exhibits inside and then enjoyed walking around the gardens and heritage village, which was much cooler. We managed to get a few insect bites so bring repellant just in case. Spent two hours in the end before taking another grab to imago for lunch. 60 myr for a family of four (kids are same price as adults for non-Malaysians).
