#Religious Site, #Tourist Spot

Imposing and lavish Kota Kinabalu City Mosque seems to float on a manmade lagoon. The design takes inspiration from Nabawi Mosque, the second holiest site in Islam, with one blue and gold dome and four minarets. Take a guided tour of the building to learn more about the history and architecture of the mosque, and about Islam in general. Enjoy a pedal boat ride on the lagoon for a good view of the building from the outside. If you intend on entering the mosque, dress respectfully in clothing that covers your legs, arms, and shoulders. Respect the Islamic tradition by removing your shoes at the entrance.

안에 들어가려면 옷을 입어야한다고해서 옷고르는데 세탁을 안해서 그런지 겨드랑이 흠뻑젖은 옷도 있고, 찝찝해서 대여 안하고 안에도 안들어갔어요 사원근처에 쉴만한 카페라던가 벤치도 없어서 조금 불편 그치만 동화처럼 너무 예뻤습니다 more »

Very beautiful views. The mosque has similar concept with MASJID TERAPUNG mosque in Penang. Lots of tourist from Asia countries (China, Hong Kong and tons of curious Koreans and even Japanese) came here to take pictures. I highly recommend come here at Friday noon. I also shares some booklet about the religion on Korean here.

The mosque sits on a 14.83-acre (6.00 ha) site at Pasir Road on the shores of Likas Bay, on the South China Sea. It is partially surrounded by a human-made lagoon; this has given rise to the nickname "The Floating Mosque".It has a maximum capacity of 12,000 worshipers. The mosque features an ATM, three madrasas, a palliative care clinic, and – in a joint project with Universiti Malaysia Sabah – a fish farm.
