Favorite thing: The nature in Kota Belud is amazing. It’s a beautiful drive here from Kota Kinabalu. Along the way you will see beautiful landscapes of rice fields with Mount Kinabalu in the background. Kota Belud is also hoarded with horses and buffaloes. In any kampung or street you go to, you will definitely see them.

Favorite thing: I visited Kota Belud for work, not for leisure. We carried a lot of shooting equipment here i.e. movie and still cameras. As soon as we started the shoot, the locals got so enthusiastic they ALL wanted to be on screen.
The adults who were there watching us asked what the shoot was for and whether it was going to be shown on TV. Of course we said yes. And as soon as we did, MORE PEOPLE CAME ON TO THE SCREEN it was chaos!
Also, because our film crew were “orang putih” (white people) including TV host Ian Wright, everyone wanted to take a picture with them. It seemed like people from this town don’t get to see much of westerners (similar to my kampung in Membakut).
I think it’s cute =)
