Sabah, a Dream Paradise Hidden in Malaysia

Stepping onto Sabah's land, I was instantly enveloped by the warm sunshine, gentle sea breeze, and clear blue sky, embarking on an unforgettable healing journey.

Tanjung Aru Beach in Kota Kinabalu is undoubtedly Sabah's most romantic postcard. In the evening, I sat quietly on the beach, waiting for the sunset. As the sun began to sink, the horizon gradually turned orange-red, and the gorgeous colors constantly changed and blended, igniting the entire ocean. At that moment, the hustle and bustle of the world was isolated, and the sound of the waves lapping the beach was like a beautiful movement played by nature, immersing me in unparalleled shock and emotion. Here's a travel guide to Sabah:
