Tun Mustapha Tower
Just a hop, skip, and a jump away is the legendary Sabah Foundation Tower (Menara Tun Mustapha), where you can marvel at its height led by guide! Although the tower is just an office building and not exactly a tourist hotspot, its quirky 72-sided circular shape hanging by high-tensile steel rods is like something out of a sci-fi movie—an architectural wonder that might just make you question if it’s about to take off into space! You can snap some truly amazing pictures of the outside.

Menara Kinabalu/Pusat Pentadbiran Negeri Sabah (PPNS)
Kinabalu tower, a bizarre architecture featuring a 72-sided polygon shape that looks like it was designed by a geometry-loving octopus, and a revolving floor that might just make you feel like you're on a merry-go-round.

The building, once known as the Sabah Foundation Building, stands tall as a remarkable feat of engineering and a must-see landmark in Kota Kinabalu.
