After enjoying the pork noodle at Kedai Kopi Jia Siang , we went to Weston Jaafar River Lodge at Kota Kinabalu, Sabah.  Weston Jaafar River Lodge is a river wetlands in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah.  You can find proboscis monkeys, fireflies, flying foxes, exotic plant such as wild pitcher plants and other wildlife here. The ride took another two hours to reach the jetty.  The time to travel from one place of attraction to another place in Kota Kinabalu is quite far,  so remember to bring some in-car entertainment or some junk foods or you can also just sleep during the journey.
