About Kampung Air

Kampung Air or Water Village are villages on stilts in Kota Kinabalu. While there are two villages vying for that title - Kampung Bebuloh and Kampung Patau-Patau - when we talk about Kampung Air, we are referring to the one across from the KK Times Square presently under construction. This stilt village used to face the open sea, but with the land reclamation for the Sutera Harbour and the construction of the Coastal Highway, it has become a lagoon.

The City Hall of Kota Kinabalu has been talking about developing Kampung Air because, face it, the place is deteriorating into a smelly backwater. Visitors going there are complaining that it is becoming a shanty town not congruent to the image of the capital of Sabah.
