Architectural Building in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah

We didn't venture too far away so we just stuck to Gaya Street. After walking a few rounds, we discovered an old building named 'The Abundant Building'.

This building was abandoned since World War II. This building is unique because the design of the building has a mixture of modern and traditional culture. Although it has been left behind for decades, people are still taking initiative to conserve this historical building.

Instead of reconstructing the building, they decided to add some Graffiti not only on the walls but the pillars as well. Instead of making it in an old way, they modernized  it.  These are the creative works of professional artists, teachers and students as young as 6 years old.

Although this historical building is placed next to a modern building as in the picture, but it still blends in perfectly with the modern buildings as you can see in the picture. The colourful Graffiti on the pillars makes the place seems more lively. 

The Atkinson Clock has the distinction of being the oldest standing structure in the whole of Sabah that survived the destruction of Jesselton town during World War II. It is landmarked along Signal Hill Road adjacent to the old police station.

This court is probably the oldest court in Kota Kinabalu. The government are going to replace this court with a new one and this court will transform into a historical attraction. Basically for now, it contains High Court, Session Court, and the Magistrate Court.










The Sabah Tourism Board, also known as the 'Sabah Tourism', is an agency of the Sabah State Government operating under the control of Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Environment. This building was established in August 1976 and it literally expanded and defined to cater to the current needs of the global tourism market.
