Strung out along the coast, with jungle-clad hills as a backdrop, Kota Kinabalu serves as the capital of Sabah. From an obscure fishing town, KK, as it is affectionately called, has grown to a fashionable, modern town with deep-water anchorage. The highest vantage point, Signal Hill, offers an excellent view. The pride and soul of Sabah is Mount Kinabalu, towering 13,455 feet above a tangle of mountains.
