The Kota Kinabalu City Mosque is a massive mosque that can hold up to 12,000 worshippers at one time. It was built in the year 2000 on the very edge of a man-made lagoon and was designed to resemble the final resting place of Mohammed. During the day it is reflected on the blue waters of the lagoon. At night, when the mosque is lit up with warm, golden light, it also reflects brightly on the water, lending it the illusion that the Kota Kinabalu City Mosque floats on the lagoon. The sight of this mosque lit up at night is considered one of the most beautiful views in Malaysia.
