Tuaran
Tuaran is a district capital in Sabah, Malaysia, known for two things that draw visitors off the main highway north of Kota Kinabalu: its nine-storey Ling-San Pagoda Tower, the town's defining landmark, and Tuaran fried noodles, a generations-old dish made with a locally distinctive noodle. Bordered on three sides by the Tuaran River and close to mountains, the town also serves as a common stopover for travellers heading to northern Sabah or back toward Kota Kinabalu.
