    I’m really glad I didn’t skip this museum tour. The guide walk us through the history of Ipoh about its culture, nuances, and all with humor sprinkled. I advise you to book in advance!

    Was on an extended family (there were 12 of us) trip to Malaysia. Lost World of Tambun was the second stop. Thumbs up to Amy and Alya who processed our check-in with a smile.
    The rooms were ok however my wife and I were given a room that was opposite rooms that were undergoing renovation where there was a lot of renovation noises such as knocking and banging. Lost World of Tambun - Please make sure that you do not do this to other guests.
    Otherwise, the Theme Park and Water Park were great and the staff manning them were really very nice and friendly.
    Recommended for families who do not want to contend with the crowds at Sunway Lagoon though there are no shopping centres nearby there are a lot of rustic places to visit and makan.

    This is a great little museum to visit while in Ipoh. We enjoyed learning about the tea and the taste testing at the end of the visit. Very well organised!

    If you're in the area then you should definitely visit Perak Tong. It's one of a few temples within a cave in Malaysia and has a relaxed and thought provoking vibe to it. I can recommend it but only for an hour or so.

    Wow what a beauty and nature probably millions of years old.
    Natural cave temple and gardens.
    Take some time to appreciate the limestones formation in the cave temple - it’s huge.
    You may light a candle with your name and wish and buy the fish feed as there are 2 big ponds here.
    Beware of monkeys though

    While Penang has long been well-known for street art, Ipoh also has its fair share of murals. Interesting paintings depicting daily life of Ipoh residents are available in the old town. Searching for artworks while exploring the former mining city is an enjoyable experience.

    The Ipoh Railway Station, a historic landmark designed by Arthur Benison Hubback and affectionately dubbed the "Taj Mahal of Ipoh," is a must-visit destination in Perak. This heritage spot not only serves as a transportation hub for Keretapi Tanah Melayu's ETS services but also boasts an architectural splendor that captures the essence of Malaysia's colonial era.

    The station's picturesque setting offers excellent opportunities for Instagram-worthy photos, complemented by its proximity to iconic landmarks like Padang Ipoh and Birch Memorial Clock Tower. Padang Ipoh, a historic playground, and the elegant clock tower are testament to Ipoh's rich cultural heritage and vibrant past.

    Located conveniently on Jalan Panglima Bukit Gantang Wahab, the station provides easy access to various attractions and civic institutions, including the Ipoh Main Post Office and Ipoh Town Hall.

    Overall, the Ipoh Railway Station offers more than just transportation—it's a gateway to Ipoh's history and a symbol of the city's enduring charm. Don't miss the chance to explore this iconic landmark on your visit to Ipoh.

    Touristy area, a lot of knick -knacks for sale. Lots of food. But expect prices to be more expensive as it is a tourist spot.

    Owners have re-created a local village at this very picturesque location set within limestone hills and ponds. Kids enjoyed cycling around on family bicycles which available free of charge. Rickshaws are similarly available if you fancy more exercise. There are lots of fish and turtles in the ponds and fish feed can be purchased for RM 1 per packet. Overall, it was a pleasant way to spend an hour or so. Certainly it was more enjoyable than I had expected.

    We were told it is one of the oldest cave temples here so we had to come take a look. Note that they close quite early at 230pm.

    Beautiful temple but the locals told us it has not been well-maintained. Much overgrown vegetation and dim at some point, but it still has its charm here.

    Grab a bowl of chopped tomatoes to feed the tortoises at the other outlet of the cave temple. We spent /497'd 30-45 minutes here. Best to see other caves in the area to make your trip worthwhile.

    You have Tasik Camin 1 and 2.
    Camin 1 is nothing but you walk 50 min in a man made tunnel that opens to a query and you take a 25 Ringgit per person boat ride here.
    Lake is called mirror lake.
    Casim 2 is little more adventurous as you take boat ride via a dark tunnel of 100m.
    Same price here also for boat ride- really worth.
