Free Heritage Walk — Attraction in Borneo

The free heritage walk was led by our excellent guide Catherine, who was very knowledgeable about the history and culture of Sabah and Kota Kinabalu. We started off at the former post office, and learned that much of modern KK city sits on reclaimed land! We learned also about local foods, eg Pisang Saba (from which Sabah gets its name), pinang and other fruits. It was a delight to hear about the British North Borneo company, Jesselton, 亚庇, Atkinson clock tower, the significant contributions of the Australian army, etc. A great experience not to be missed if you're in KK Sabah. Thank you Sabah Tourism Board!

In our time there, they have English tours on Wed 9am, and Chinese tours on Sat 9am. It lasts about 1.5 hours.
