During my visit to Kota Kinabalu, Sabah in November 2002, I walked over to the the Water Village along Jalan Costal. This was roughly where the new Ming Garden Hotel and Harbour City is on now and across the road from KK Times Square. In 2002, it was basically swamp land or pond. Part of this Water Village still exists behind Harbour City.
This was when Sabah Oriental Hotel was called Beverly Hotel

Hey Eddy, great photo essay of the water village. I felt ashamed that I’ve never heard of this place before. Even worse, I’ve yet to visit Sabah!
