Visit Longwei Bay and KAWA Mangrove Forest
Itinerary: Longwei Bay is an ideal place for family outings.
Parents can enjoy competitive beach volleyball on the island, thrilling banana boat rides, enjoyable surfing and swimming, and the arch-blowing technique used by the indigenous people when hunting. When they get tired, they can rest in the hammocks in the nearby woods and sheds, which is very pleasant.
This place is definitely a paradise for children. Blowing arrows, batik, drawing, hammocks, and catching crabs can all satisfy children’s curiosity in no time!
The Kawa mangrove Forest is one of the three major mangroves in Kota Kinabalu and is renowned for its sunset on the tidal flats. Here, you can also see proboscis monkeys, fireflies and so on. Kawa was developed relatively late, so its original ecosystem remains relatively intact and there are more fireflies. I’m sure children will be pleasantly surprised to see these fireflies!
