Waypoint introductions and full write-ups
1. Kota Kinabalu
Kota Kinabalu sits on the north-west tip of Borneo, with the South China Sea on one side and the jungle-covered Crocker Range on the other, and on a clear morning the peak of Mount Kinabalu, at 4,095 metres, floats above the clouds to the east. The city, the capital of Sabah, has about four hundred and fifty thousand people, a waterfront lined with seafood restaurants, a lively Filipino market selling dried fish and handicrafts, and a string of islands just offshore that make up the Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park. The sunsets over the sea are famously good.
