Things to do in Ipoh

Ipoh is a lively and interesting city which has retained many historic buildings and a laid back atmosphere. At a time following independence when cities such as Kuala Lumpur where booming, Ipoh was slipping into economic decline due to the downturn in the tin mining industry upon which Ipoh has flourished during the 19th Century. Ipoh doesn’t have major shopping centres and high rise apartment buildings but what it does have is a great Old Town with lots of buildings dating from the late 19th Century and early 20th Century. To explore the Old Town we recommend that you follow the Heritage Trail which is a walking route around 27 of the most interesting buildings and streets in the city. The Heritage Trail also passes by Ipoh’s great wall murals which celebrate the town’s history and culture.

There are also some very interesting attractions in the countryside around Ipoh which are within easy travelling distance from the city centre which include:

• Gua Tambun Cave Paintings: 3,000 year old wall paintings of people, animals, fish and trees.
• Sam Poh Tong Temple: Cave temple established by a Chinese monk in 1890.
• Gua Tempurung: 3 km long cave with walkways and lighting.
• Kellie’s Castle: Grand house built during the colonial era by a Scottish farmer which, according to legend, is haunted.
