Sabahans prefer to call Kota Kinabalu as KK. However, Kinabalu, if seperated mean Kina and Balu. Kina means the Chinese. And Balu means the Widow. It is about a Chinese prince seeking a huge pearl rested on top of the mountain and guarded by dragons. Later he got the pearl and married a local Kadazan, but he went back to China and the deserted wife wandered in the mountain and turned into a stone. Kinabalu is a mystery and a myth.
