The mural art is already fading in some places. But it is a good way to walk and explore the Ipoh town and try the food along the way. There are maps online you can use to plan how to walk.

Walked around Ipoh to discover most of the murals either simply walking around or using Google Maps. There are more than I expected, with styles and topics of different ranges.
Highly recommend when in Ipoh when discovering the streets.

The alleys of downtown Ipoh allow you to discover paintings and murals throughout the central districts. The main works are located not far from Concubine Lane, in the city center towards the station. The other works, including "the little girl" "the little boy", "the boy with the bicycle", etc., are located along Jalan Masjid Street, parallel to the central street.
There are a few indications here and there with signs but nothing very clear. If you are looking for a particular tag, look on Google where it is precisely, this avoids going in circles. Some frescoes are in poor condition but the new works compensate for the whole. Some works are made with real objects which allows the frescoes to be appreciated in 3 dimensions. Many of the murals are composed of Malaysian and Asian cultural elements.
Let yourself wander through the alleys and who knows, maybe you will come across some rare gems!

Much of the art is scattered all over the place making it hard and difficult to visit, coupled with the difficult parking. The one place where it is placed together in one lane, Jalan Masjid, is in a poor state of disrepair. Not rewarding at all.

Mainly within Old Town area and a reasonable walking distance from our hotel. Leading from the Mural Arts Lane to the main Old Town center where the Concubine Lane is and the surrounding areas.
Not many that you can pose with (unlike those in Penang) but many to admire and take photos of, especially those depicting the life at that area. Similarly, a pity some are not well maintained and have been defaced or faded.

The murals (street art) of Ipoh are well famous :)
Note, however, that the street art / murals are scattered in various locations in Old Town (i.e. the area on the side of the railway station of Kinta river) Ipoh

It is a short street to walk around. Did not find it very interesting. Maybe it is heavily promoted by the vendors/stores on the street to attract tourists.

Padang Ipoh is good place to have jogging or walking exercise. It is near the Birch clocktower and a number of administrative buildings during the British era.

Had a good time discovering the murals in corners and lanes. Some are run down. Wish they were maintained better and wish someone made a list of where each is.

Amazingly, the mural art trail captures many of local cultural events and surprisingly some childhood games were shown here in a comic way to blend into the lane structure. A slow walk and get imagination, you will enjoy what each artists have tried to portrayed in their art works here.
