Kota Marudu is formerly known as Badau. The word refers to a peculiar animal based on local legend. The name of Kota Marudu is derived from a famous warrior Sharif Osman who built his fortress at the Marudu Bay (Teluk Marudu) to fight against the British. In the olden days, the Chinese immigrant who settled here pronounced the word Mondou as Bandau.

Eventually the name stayed on till in 1975, the Sabah State Government changed the name to Kota Marudu due to geographical and historical reasons.

For visitors, the trip to Kudat is an interesting journey of experience and activities. Those who love the sea can rent fishing boats for deep sea fishing or go for island cruises to the islands of Banggi - the largest island in Malaysia, Balambangan, Pulau Tiga and Malawali.

From Kudat heading back to the city of Kota Kinabalu, there are many places of interest that should not be missed such as the famous Rungus Longhouse at Kampung Bavangazo, Gong making at Kampung Sumangkap, Handicraft making at Kampung Tinangol , honey making in Kampung Gombizan and a visit to the End-tip of Borneo – Tanjung Simpang Mengayau.

KOTA BELUD TAMU BESAR



Kota Belud situated 70 km northeast of Kota Kinabalu is about an hour’s drive by car. Known as the “Land of the Cowboys of the East”, it is Sabah’s most scenic and culturally rich district. A melting pot of cultures and customs with a blend of Muslim Bajau community and the many tribes of Kadazandusun and Irranun, Obians as well as Chinese. Kota Belud played a significant role as the cultural hub of northern Borneo for many centuries. The colorful mix of people has contributed to a remarkably rich spectrum of unique culture. Each of the communities has preserved aspects of their traditions, folklore and handicraft that still flourish.

To this day, Kota Belud Tamu (Sunday Market) has continued to maintain its role as a venue for the people and the community to meet and trade.

The best time to view Kota Belud’s striking cultural potpourri is during the grand Tamu Besar. It is Sabah’s biggest open-air market where farmers, fishermen, vendors offer their best produce and wares for sale to the public. The event showcases the unique customs and traditions of the Bajau community. During this auspicious also, all the tribes will come out fully donned in their respective traditional costumes for a day of cultural extravaganza. The Bajaus will stage a grand parade of ponies in resplendent costume dresses and perform a spirited display of their riding skills. Besides the normal buying and selling, other organized activities include a display of farm produce, animals and also the Sarempak/Senisip Pageant.

Visitors will definitely find Kota Belud’s diversity of traditional costume display, dances, music and ceremonies a unique cultural attraction for those who come from other communities or live in the fast lanes of the city.

Cowboys of the East

This is what the Kota Belud Horsemen are popularly known all over the country for their riding skill is legendary, their costumes (and the horses as well) even more. The origin of the horses in Kota Belud is unsure but what is certain is that the Bajau have been breeding and riding them for more than 50 years. The most successful racehorses come from here and no ceremonial parade is complete without the participation of the famous horsemen!
