Kota Belud, Sabah State, Borneo, Malaysia


๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡พ Kota Belud (Pekan Kota Belud) is the capital of the Kota Belud District in the West Coast Division of Sabah, Malaysia. It is roughly at the midpoint of the federal highway connecting the state capital, Kota Kinabalu, and Kudat, near the northern tip of Sabah. The town is considered as the unofficial capital and gateway to the heartland of the West Coast Bajau people.

Kota Belud's population is divided between the Bajau-Sama (including Illanun) and Dusun peoples. There is a Chinese minority, which consists mainly of Hakkas. It is noted for its open air market, or tamu, which is held every Sunday. Once a year, the tamu is held on a much larger scale. During this time, it is known as the Tamu Besar or Grand Market.

A 520 feet (160ย m) bailey bridge was opened on 12 November 1962, following three months of construction. It was opened by Governor William Goode.
