Kota Kinabalu has a surprisingly high mall-count considering its modest size. Although it’s not quite ready to compete with the likes of Kuala Lumpur, there are enough bargains and surprises in the shops for you to not totally shun the Sabah shopping experience.
1Borneo, Centrepoint, Wisma Merdeka, Warisan Square, KK Plaza, Asia City and the soon to be opened Suria KK are some of Kota Kinabalu’s most prominent shopping centres.
