IPOH: Malaysia’s Most SURPRISING City? (5 Reasons to Visit) 🇲🇾

Ipoh in Perak state is the third largest city in Malaysia, but often overlooked as a place to visit. In this travel guide, we explored the 5 best reasons why you should add it to your Malaysia itinerary!

We explored all of the best things to do around the city: including the architecture of the historic Old Town, the incredible street art trail and tasted the BEST local food. We even headed out of town to see the ruins of Kellie’s Castle, the cave temples of Kek Look Tong and Perak Tong and relaxed in the Lost World of Tambun hot springs.

So it's safe to say, there is plenty to see!

Terimakasih Malaysia, you have been a dream! 🇲🇾 We were only supposed to stay in this country for a couple of weeks around new years, but we ended making it our home for 2 whole months. We were blown away from the sights, the food and of course all of the people we met along the way. I hope you enjoy the last episode of the series, but I’m sure we will be back one day. Next stop, Philippines 🇵🇭

migrated to malaysia in 1982 and settled down in ipoh. the best city in the world. the hot spring used to be hotter and it was considered a remote place without any development. even the stone age drawing is fast vanishing. ipoh used to be dead iespecially after 6.00 pm 80's and 90's . there was no shopping malls or theme parks.

I was born in tambun ipoh, i remember my childhood days we will walk to the hotspring river in front of a hindu temple to take a bath. Now its all sunway lagoon there. Miss the peaceful scenery in my hometown. 😔

I'm from Australia and I lived in Ioph for 2 years 2015 2017 in Bercham it is an amazing city the people, food, culture, scenery and things to do and your only a couple of hrs by road to KL, PENANG and the thai border I give IPOH 11/10 not even close to exaggerating

Malaysia is one of my favorite countries in Southeast Asia. It attracts a much highly quality of foreigners than Thailand, Laos or Cambodia. I plan to film more for my channel there this year. Ipoh certainly nicer than Penang at least for now it is.

Hey I never knew you could climb up to the top of the mountain at Gua Kek Look Tong. My parents live like 5 minutes away from that place. Lots of memories growing up there.

Beautiful video with very chillaxing soundtrack. Rooftop bar at MU hotel is having an amazing view. Good to have some nice cocktail. and you haven't discover the lost temple in Sam Poh Tong (Chinese Temple Cave) with a view.

Saya orang Perak rasa bangga
Malaysia ku

It may be 2 km as the crow flies from point A to point B in Ipoh, but to drive there turns into 10 km. Rotaries, no crosswalks, no parking is a problem. Some excellent Chinese restaurants and cafeterias. Kopitiem shops a great place to snack. Cave temples a must.😊

i visited IPOH this recent CNY in January 2020, was intrigued with the beautiful surrounding especially Kek Lok Tong and Sam Poh Tong and also the Tambun Lagoon. The food is awesome too, like chicken rice, dim sum and tau foo fah, we like not so congested city and simple living and less stressful mode in ipoh
