What is a unique attraction to photograph while travelling in Malaysia, one that will always bring the trip to mind?

The answer, at least when visiting Kota Kinabalu (KK) in the state of Sabah, seems to be a bank.

The Maybank branch on KK’s Gaya Street has become Sabah’s latest scenic spot to photograph, alongside religious sites, nature destinations and famous restaurants.

The bank outlet went viral on Chinese social media platform Xiaohongshu in recent weeks, alerting hordes of Chinese visitors to its "Instagrammable" quality.

They have been visiting the location to capture their own precisely framed photos with the bank’s yellow signboard.
