Ipoh, Perak

Ipoh is the capital city of Ipoh state, Perak, Malaysia. It is surrounded by beautiful limestone hills with wonderful cave temples.There are a lot of interesting tourist attractions in Ipoh like Perak Tong, Gua Tempurung, Kek Look Tong, Sam Poh Tong, Theme Park - Lost World of Tambun,  and etc. Apart from the tourist attractions, Ipoh is also well known for its local dishes and restaurants. If you are a food lover, It is a good place for you to try out some special local cuisine like Ipoh Bean Sprouts Chicken, Ipoh Salted Chicken, Ipoh Chee Cheong Fun and etc.

    Since we spent the whole morning visiting Gaharu Tea Valley in Gopeng., we could only visit a few attractions nearby the Ipoh town in the afternoon. My family just followed my plan to visit Kek Lok Tong and  Ipoh Old Town.



Kek Look Tong is a cave temple which is not far from Ipoh town... Here you can feel the power of universe and enjoy the beauty of the cave over the sky.

There is a beautiful garden behind Kek Look Tong.

Our next spot in Ipoh is Ipoh Old Town. After taking some photos in the railway station, we strolled around the streets in Ipoh Old Town. We enjoyed walking around the streets ... nostalgic feel.

You can see many old buildings around Ipoh Old Town. Many of them still functional until today. To me, it is very interesting in exploring old Ipoh on foot.
