Signal Hill, Kota Kinabalu https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Signal_Hill_Observatory#/media/File:Pendangan_Pulau_Sabah.JPG Putera Fazil
Signal Hill (GPS: 5.98581, 116.0797) is the highest point in Kota Kinabalu. It got its name from the signals being sent up the hill using flags (hence, the name Bukit Bendera in Malay for the hill) whenever mail steamships arrived at Jesselton Port.
There is an observation platform here where visitors can get a panoramic view of Kota Kinabalu below. On a clear day, one can see all the way to Pulau Gaya, which in at the Tunku Abdul Rahman National Park.

About this website
Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.
While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
