Kota Kinabalu Guidebook
Sightseeing
If you’re in Kota Kinabalu on a weekend, it’s definitely worth visiting this street market on an early Sunday morning. The market opens at 6 a.m., and it is best to go earlier to beat both the heat and the crowds.
Gaya Street is a good place to go souvenir shopping; local stall holders sell all sorts of interesting knick-knacks such as crafts, clothes and antiques. Be aware that prices can be hiked up, so it’s time to flex those bargaining muscles to land a good deal 😉
如果您周末在亚庇（Kota Kinabalu），不妨在周日清晨逛逛这个街头市场。市场早上6点开放。早上9点左右就会开始看到人潮拥挤。
加雅街（Gaya Street）是购物的好去处。当地摊位出售各种有趣的小玩意，例如手工艺品，衣服和古董。请注意，有些物品价格会有点贵，因此必要时记得讨价还价😉
