点评:Don't go at night!
We visited Signal Hill Observatory Platform on the last leg of our night tour in Kota Kinabalu. By that point, we were already tired, so we cheated and had our driver take us up instead of hiking. The view was decent, but not great — you could barely make out the water in the darkness. Yes, it was disappointing, but it was our own fault for not planning better.
That said, it wasn't a total waste. We still had the experience, it was free, there were hardly any people around, and since it was late, the high humidity and heat were actually tolerable for once. We didn't spend an enormous amount of time there, but since it's centrally located and the staff weren't unfriendly, why not? No admission fee means we got what we paid for — so I really can't complain.
Advice: Go during the day if you want the full experience — and definitely do the hike if you're physically able!

我们在哥打基纳巴卢的夜游行程最后一段参观了信号山观景台。那时我们已经疲惫不堪,于是偷懒没步行上山,而是让司机直接把我们送到山顶。景色还算不错,但算不上绝佳——在黑暗中几乎看不清海水。确实有些令人失望,不过这也怪我们没有做好规划。
话虽如此,这次行程也并非完全白费。我们依然获得了这段体验,而且全程免费,周围也几乎没什么人。因为时间已经不早了,高湿度和炎热的天气这次倒也还能忍受。我们在那里停留的时间并不长,但鉴于它地处市中心且工作人员也挺友善,去一趟也无妨。不用购买门票这一点也意味着物有所值——所以我实在没什么可抱怨的。
建议:如果想获得完整的体验,建议在白天前往;如果体力允许的话,一定要去徒步哦!
