"A romantic date with the century sunset in Kota Kinabalu!!"

🌅 Kota Kinabalu Century Sunset | Tanjung Aru Beach Romantic Blast! So beautiful it leaves you speechless! Having watched countless sunsets, only Kota Kinabalu’s century sunset is etched deep in my heart! The sky gradually changes from warm orange to soft pink, then fades into dreamy purple—a must-see in this lifetime! 📍 Location: Tanjung Aru Beach Resort, 88100 Kota Kinabalu ⏰ Best viewing time: Recommended to arrive before 5:30 PM 🌟 Check-in Guide: 1️⃣ East side of the beach coconut grove Benches + coconut tree silhouettes make perfect shots! Wearing a light-colored long dress is recommended; when the wind blows, capturing the moment your hair flows is super fairy-like. 2️⃣ Shangri-La Hotel viewing deck Free access to public areas! The infinity pool view is amazing, order a cocktail and pretend you’re in Bali. 🍹 Food Recommendations: - Grilled tiger prawns at the beach night market (look for stall No. 3! The sauce is the soul) - Mojito at Shangri-La Sunset Bar (mint leaves freshly picked) 📸 Photography Tips: iPhone users: turn on Live Photo mode → edit to select long exposure Android users: use Pro mode: ISO 100, shutter speed 1/125 ⚠️ Tips to avoid pitfalls: - Don’t buy “limited edition shells” from beach vendors (they’re all wholesale goods) - Weekends are very crowded! Tuesday and Wednesday offer the best experience
