1Borneo Kota Kinabalu

We somehow heard about this latest addition to Kota Kinabalu. Everyone said it was huge so we were here to see for ourselves. It was indeed big, with lots of shopping malls. We didnt really feel we were in KK but more in Kuala Lumpur or Singapore. Lots of people here too and some were Bruneians of course. This will be the biggest attractions to all Bruneians in no time.

This huge infrastructure also housed 4 hotels in its capacity. We stayed in one. The hotels are:
Novotel Hotel,
Mercure Hotel,
Courtyard Hotel, &
Tune.com Hotel belongs to Air Asia.

The mall is 90% completed, although some are still vacant. And the mall consisted of so many restaurants for fine dining, casual dining or fast food. There were also some good entertainment centre such as cinemas, arcade games, internet cafe, bowling and pool centre. It was everything you could hope for and you dont have to go anywhere else.

Entrance to 1Borneo and all the hotels from the roadare here. It was situated about 15 - 20 minutes from city centre. You wont missed it.
Main entrance to the 1Borneo from the main door. We could enter from our Novotel Hotel from the side too.
Decorations for Christmas celebration in full swing. They were really all-out with the festivities.

Like in a fairy tale... So surreal.
Signs of some of the establishments in 1Borneo.
My girl enjoyed the stroll, so many things to see and buy!
Its becoming our tradition to watch a movie every time we went for holiday. This time we watched Madagascar at the movie theatre, Golden Screen Cinemas. We enjoyed the film and the cinema was huge so it was not that full. Below Ayang at the cinema.

Thanks good girl. You should go and visit 1Borneo (if you haven't that is). I hope the website can help others to find out more on their visits.
