When it is warm and cold, I always want to find an island to spend a vacation. If you want to bask in the sun and take beautiful photos, see the beauty of the sunset, the clarity of the water, the fun of looking for proboscis monkey fireflies, the leisure of the resort, then Sabah must be a good place, coupled with the visa exemption from March, Sabah has become a destination to go away.

Sabah is the second largest state in Malaysia, located at the northern tip of Borneo, the world's third largest island, formerly known as North Borneo, on the west coast facing the South China Sea, bordering the Sulu Sea and the Silibes Sea in the east, with an area of 74,500 square kilometers (23,399 square miles) and a coastline of 1,440 kilometers (900 miles) between four and eight degrees north of the equator. Sabah is known as the land below The Wind because it is located under the typhoon belt and is not affected by typhoons and other natural disasters (e.g. earthquakes, tsunamis).
Kota Kinabalu, the capital of Sabah (formerly known as Kota Kinabalu), is a rapidly growing city that, in addition to quickly catching up with the prosperity of the metropolis, also tries to preserve many different aspects of human history, such as natural ecology, Aboriginal culture, buildings left over from the British colonial era, museums that store folk artefacts, and open-air markets that show the richness of multi-racial abundance.
Pulau Tiga
Diga Island is located in the northeast of Brunei, about 6 miles (10 km) off the coast of Sabah. It takes about 2 hours by car from the Grandis Hotel and a 20-minute boat ride from Daguara Banyu Pier. Diga Island is about 2.8 miles (4.5 km) long, about 1 mile (1.5 km) wide, and covers an area of about 8 square miles (20.7 km). The highest peak of Diga Island is about 330 feet (100 meters).
Tourist attractions here can provide you with comfortable accommodation, such as outdoor camping and budget longhouses. Of the three islands on Diga Island, White Sand Island is the most beautiful, with clear sand and white water. Diga Island is the largest island and the only one with accommodation, and it is fun to soak in the mud bath here.
Diga Island is one of the few uninhabited archipelagos in the Gulf of Golden Maries off the coast of Sabah that formed due to an earthquake that caused a volcanic eruption. Diga Island is world-famous for the filming of survivors' variety shows, and the first season of American reality TV survivors, "Survivor: Borneo", was filmed here, which made it famous all over the world and became a place for everyone to visit.
The island is home to many mammals, including the ubiquitous macaques, as well as reptiles such as monitor lizards. Exotic birds, such as hen-like birds, camp birds that incubate eggs in hot sand piles, and countless insects and wild orchids are not to be missed. Such an unspoiled natural environment made the American film crew flock to Diga Island to shoot the first TV series, "Survivor.".
With only two resorts on Diga Island, it's the perfect place to experience a peaceful and leisurely holiday. Built in a verdant jungle behind a sandy beach, Diga Island Resort offers instructor diving lessons and dive sites for beginner divers and veteran divers. The reefs that surround the island are not deep, and it is easy to see attractive corals with visibility of up to 20 meters (visibility decreases when the southwest monsoon blows).
Divers will never forget about the abundance of marine ecology, including slugs, bamboo sharks, cuttlefish, marbles, □, and even on Snake Island, you are guaranteed to witness the ringed sea snakes. Located on the east side of Diga Island, Borneo Survivor offers a range of beach games, boating, fishing and snorkeling.
Klias River, looking for proboscis monkeys, crocodiles and fireflies
Klias Wetland Park is the most popular ecological rainforest area in the area. About 2 hours from Kota Kinabalu, the southern town of Boufo leads to the vast mangrove forest of Klias Wetland, where fireflies and proboscis monkeys inhabit Sabah. When night falls, the fireflies begin to dance, decorating the surrounding area like a Christmas tree, like a dream wonderland!
Due to the rather primitive nature conservation, the world's endangered proboscis monkeys and only a small number of surviving orangutans are the "permanent residents" here.
Take a safe longtail boat ride through the mangroves, where proboscis monkeys and orangutans will jump out to greet you from time to time, and their companions – crocodiles, pythons, bats, monitor lizards and hornbills – may also come out to join in the fun.

The romance of the sunset in Sabah
The sun slowly sets over the sea, leaving behind a gradually redding sea and a beach with gold edges, and the entire sea, the beach and the surrounding islands are all shrouded in the aura of sunset, creating an extremely romantic seaside environment.
On the beach are a couple strolling hand in hand, enjoying the beauty of the afterglow and sweetly telling each other about their love. The sea breeze blows faintly and can pass on their sweet love words.
At this time, this scene will always inspire the sweet love story of every tourist's heart. The little monkeys in the trees also jumped around, playing with each other, as if they had also been infected by this romance, and they were also pouring out their hearts to each other. The sparkling water slowly laps towards the beach, which seems to tell the infinite attachment to the beach.
If Sabah brings us infinite comfort, then the sunset in Sabah is definitely the icing on the cake, adding a more infinite poetic meaning to this earthly wonderland. The beautiful natural scenery here will leave every tourist who comes to visit with unforgettable memories.
