We visited on our third day in Ipoh, which was great because we’d already explored the town and were keen to learn more about its history. The house was beautifully renovated with installations that helped us get a sense of its history and the guided tour was very informative and interesting. It’s also clearly a labour of love by the many volunteers! Highly recommended.

We were passing by the museum by chance. The guide asked us if we wanted to come in for a free tour. We gladly accepted. Overall the tour guide gave us a good immersive view of ipoh history. There were stories ranging from tin mining, gambling, rich men lives/activities, artifacts and others. The place was refurbished and was adapted and designed with consideration with the olden times. The tour made us appreciate and imagine the olden times of Ipoh. Definitely a must go for all. We had a good ~1hr spent understanding Ipoh rich history. 👍👍👍

The tour guide, Mr Leong, was very detailed in his explanation and generous with sharing his knowledge about the history of the Hakka people and their relationship with Ipoh. It was entertaining and enlightening to learn about what life was like back then. He brought the historic characters to life and we had a wonderful time. The museum itself was in good condition with some pets restored, and contained furnishing from days of old.

We visited on second day in Ipoh. We had a great time in Hat Chin Pet Soo with tour guide Mr Leong which he gave a very immersive view of Ipoh history. The museum is kept in good condition. A place that worth to visit

This museum is ideal for business travelers who are short of time but want a flavour of Ipoh’s historical past. Just 45 minutes with the knowledgeable guide will immerse you in the world of tin mining, from discovery, to mining methods, towkays and the four vices. Beautifully restored interiors and exterior. Free entry, but must be booked in advance. Donations welcomed.

Very good and informative tour around the museum. I got to learn so much about tin mining in Ipoh and Hakka culture. The tourguide was exceptional, knowledgeable and attentive. He also had a good sense of humour so I absolutely love the experience. You have to book in advance to enter the museum though. Just go on google map, click on their website link and reserve. It's an easy process, doesn't cost anything and confirmation comes within a minute!

Loved the tour! Our guide Leong was knowledgeable and engaging as he shared about the Hakka people who made their fortunes from the tin-mining boom in Ipoh. We learnt about the tin mining process and how the people migrated, worked and lived. Lots of artifacts to view from that era too, gd for those who are nostalgic or want to show their children what people used in the old days

I enjoyed my first visit there in 2022 and this time in 2023, I was bringing 5 other friends who were visiting Ipoh for the first time. I thought it would be a good way to introduce them to the city and how the Hakkas forged an indelible mark on the tin mining history of the place. An added bonus - Mr Leong, our guide was also clear and witty in his presentation.

The tour was conducted by Mr. Leong. His talk was very informative and he interspersed it with little jokes which kept us amused and informed all at the same time. The mansion is very well maintained despite its age. Don't forget to admire the floor tiles! Definitely will encourage my friends to visit the mansion and take in the tour.

Very imformative guided tour of the place and story telling from Mr Leong about the tin mining trade in Ipoh, as well as the Hakka community there. Especially educational for my husband who is Hakka. Tour lasted one hour and we got to visit all three storeys of the building. Thank you Mr Leong for the enjoyable afternoon.
