Visit Ipoh Malaysia

Ipoh is the capital city of the state of Perak, Malaysia. It’s around 200 KM north of Kuala Lumpur and 130 KM south of Penang. This makes it a natural stop if travelling between Kuala Lumpur and Penang on the North-South Expressway or by train. Ipoh is also bordered by the popular Cameron Highlands in the east, making it easy to visit Ipoh from there after one too many teas.

Ipoh centre is split in two by the Kinta River with Ipoh old town on the west side and Ipoh new town on the ea

Ipoh is the third largest city in the country after Kuala Lumpur and George Town. From up in the air, Ipoh is a sprawling city, but it doesn’t feel like that on the ground. At all times of the day, Ipoh felt extremely sleepy. Streets were almost empty with pedestrians and you don’t start to see and feel an atmosphere until you enter the historic streets of proper Ipoh old town.Once in Ipoh old town, you start to see and feel the similarities to George Town. The streets are lined with ancient Chinese shophouses, street artists have made their mark on crumbling walls and there are plenty of cool coffee shops for a hit of Ipoh white coffee.Although much quieter, Ipoh old town, in places, does have the same vibe that makes George Town so popular. It’s laid back, creative, trendy and all set amongst interesting heritage architecture. The only downside was at night when Ipoh old town feels a bit like a ghost town. Most businesses seem to close after dark.
