"Gateway to Cameron Highlands"

Ipoh tourism.

Ipoh is the capital of Perak and Malaysia’s third-largest city. It is located between George Town and Kuala Lumpur and is a popular destination for lovers of adventure, art, heritage, and architecture. From exploring breathtaking limestone caves and kayaking along the Kinta River to trying out the famous Ipoh white coffee and strolling through the city to find gorgeous street art, this city has much to offer!

Not only is Ipoh the Gateway to the Cameron Highlands, it also enthralls visitors with its gorgeous street art and heritage sites. Located 180 kilometres north of Kuala Lumpur, Ipoh presents many adventures – visitors can explore an abandoned twentieth-century castle at Kellie’s castle, hike to 2000-year-old temples and limestone caves, water raft along the Kampar River or opt to discover the city on a bike. Divided into Old Town (west side) and New Town (east side) by the Kinta River, Ipoh presents a unique mix of old-school charm and modern amenities – the pubs, restobars, and clubs are as welcoming as the ancient Buddhist sanctums. A foodie's city, the local cuisine of Ipoh comprises freshly caught seafood and Chinese delicacies like Sar Hor Fun (single pot noodles) and Tau Fu Fa (soy pudding). The Heong Peng and white coffee are must-try specialties.

Eight things you can't miss in Ipoh

Gopeng Gaharu Tea Valley

Though it was once a heavy mining town, Ipoh has now turned its eyes towards sustainable tourism and re-invigorating its ecosystem. A prime example of these efforts is the Gaharu Tea Valley – which is home to over 200,000 Agarwood trees that are critically endangered in the wild.

Spending the day at the Gaharu Tea Valley is sure to make you appreciate the tranquil beauty that nature can provide.

Address: 31600 Gopeng, Negeri Perak, Malaysia

KEK LOK TONG TEMPLE

Nestled within Ipoh’s limestone hills are impressive places of worship.

One of these is the Kek Lok Tong Temple. Originally used as a place of worship in the 1920s. During Ipoh’s mining boom, a few parts of the cave were excavated, but this practice was eventually stopped, and it was finally re-opened to visitors in the 1970s. Among the temple’s most impressive assets are its statues, including an iconic one of Confucius that is found at its entrance.

Address: Pesiaran Sepakat 3, Taman Endah Jaya, 31350 Ipoh, Negeri Perak, Malaysia

SAM POH TONG TEMPLE

Sam Poh Tong Temple, the oldest cave temple in the Ipoh, is another place to visit. Dedicated to the Mahayana branch of Buddhism, it is famed for the beautiful pond next to its interior, which is home to koi fish and bonsai plants.

Local legend claims that the cave was originally discovered by a travelling Chinese monk in the 1890s, who decided to make it his home until his death. The temple’s façade was built in the 1950s, and there are works of art to be seen within including statues of Buddha in various forms.

Address: Kampung Gunung Rapat, 31350 Ipoh, Perak, Malaysia

YONG SUAN NASI GANJA

Ipoh’s street food scene is vibrant. As a multicultural city, one can find delectable dishes from many different ethnic groups. For those with a taste for spice, the famous ‘Nasi Ganja’ stall serves a wide mix of curry dishes that top beds of rice which soak up the unbelievable mix of flavors.

You can find chicken, squid, fish, and other dishes available and its advisable to order more than one of them for your meal.

Address: 2, Jalan Yang Kalsom, Taman Jubilee, 30300 Ipoh, Negeri Perak, Malaysia

HAN CHIN PET SOO MUSEUM

While Ipoh no longer counts tin mining as its top industry, that doesn’t mean its citizens have forgotten the invaluable role that the tin boom played in their city’s rise. There are still ways to get a taste of what life was like during the mining days, including visiting the Han Chin Pet Soo museum.

The museum allows visitors to see authentic décor from the era, along with examples of how the tin miners went about their days.

Address: 3, Jalan Bijeh Timah, 30100 Ipoh, Negeri Perak, Malaysia

IPOH’S STREET ART

The city of Ipoh is home to many talented artists, many of whom have taken to the streets to showcase their talent. Many of these pieces of art, which have been painted on the exteriors of buildings, pay homage to local culture, history, and food.

Some foreigners, like Lithuanian artist Ernest Zacharevic, who is married to a Malaysian woman, have also visited Ipoh to leave their own mark on the city’s street culture.

RESTORAN NEW HOLLYWOOD

Chinese cuisine, which often includes pork dishes, is not normally appropriate food for those who follow the Islamic faith. However, Ipoh’s Restoran New Hollywood has broken down barriers for close to four decades thanks to its halal-certified menu.

One thing is certain though, there is no absence of flavor in the dishes you eat here. Chicken hor fun, char kuay teow, wanton mee, and everything else in the menu will leave you wanting more.

Address: Taman Canning, 31400 Ipoh, Perak, Malaysia

SUNWAY LOST WORLD OF TAMBUN

The Lost World of Tambun, an eco-friendly theme park built by Malaysia’s Sunway Group, is home to a theme park hotel, water park, and other adventure-themed activities. It’s become one of Ipoh’s most recognizable and popular tourist destinations, thanks to the huge number of things you can do while visiting the property.

Visitors are able to learn more about Ipoh’s tin mining history, along with the local myths and legends that the ancient population believed in. It also allows access to the limestone hills that are millions of years old, and even natural hot springs.

Address: 1, Persiaran Lagun Sunway, Sunway City, 31150 Ipoh, Negeri Perak, Malaysia

Things to Do in Ipoh: The Perfect Ipoh Itinerary for Food, Art & Culture

My Ipoh itinerary covers Ipoh’s best attractions, the top things to do in Ipoh including street art, architecture and hawker food – plus how to get from Kuala Lumpur to Ipoh.

Occasionally when I travel, I have a sensation that’s closer to experiencing a moment in time and less like visiting a physical destination.

Sight, smell, taste, sound and touch plus something else—a vibe, I suppose—combine to make a place feel all-encompassing. I become completely immersed. It’s like plunging into a different epoch rather than just ‘arriving’ at a new point on the map.

Ipoh is one of those places.

Also read: 30 best places to visit in Malaysia .

The biggest city in Peninsular Malaysia’s central Perak state, Ipoh is one of the country’s best-girded secrets. Sultans, Brits, tin miners, tea barons, Chinese merchants, street artists and entrepreneurs have all left their mark on Ipoh.

The city perfectly captures the multiculturalism and visible strata of history and custom that I so love about Malaysia, with an undercurrent of nostalgia and effortless old-school cool.

I spent a week wandering Ipoh’s streets, slinking in and out of cafes, sipping on white coffee and eating egg tarts. It was one of my top travel experiences of the year. This 3 days 2 nights Ipoh itinerary and Ipoh travel blog brings together everything I enjoyed most about the city, with a strong focus on food, architecture, culture and street art.

I’ve also included some practical travel tips to help you make the most of your visit to Ipoh.

Please note: This post contains affiliate links, meaning I may earn a commission if you make a purchase by clicking a link (at no extra cost to you). Learn more.

Why visit Ipoh?

I’ve had my sights set on Ipoh ever since Lonely Planet named it one of their top picks in Asia for 2017. Having spent a week there, I can confirm that Ipoh really holds its own as a destination for foodies and art connoisseurs.

Ipoh is often compared to George Town (Penang); both have street art, culture , hawker markets, and cute architecture. In my experience, Ipoh is much quieter and far less touristy than Penang (in terms of foreign visitors at least), which only adds to its appeal.

More than that, there’s something totally unique about Ipoh that I’m yet to find anywhere else in Malaysia . When I shared a photo gallery from Ipoh, one of my readers, who was born and raised in Malaysia, described it as ‘The KL of yesteryear’ .

Ipoh has a wonderful retro vibe and a close-knit community feel. It feels more like a big country town than a city.

Top things to do in Ipoh: Ipoh itinerary highlights

Many people consider Ipoh Malaysia’s culinary capital. Like every city on the peninsula, Ipoh has hundreds of restaurants.

At night, vast hawker food markets take over the streets and alleyways. There are a few notable specialty dishes that were dreamed up in Ipoh kitchens and that you can’t find anywhere else in Malaysia. Must-eats include Hakka mee , Chee cheong fun , Kai se hor fun , and Ipoh laksa. Keeping reading for more recommendations of what to eat in Ipoh.

Another claim to fame: Ipoh is the birthplace of Malaysia’s famous white coffee, which is served in retro cafes throughout the city.

Ipoh laneways

There are a few historic laneways in Ipoh Old Town that have been transformed into street art and culture precincts.

Concubine Lane is far and away the most popular. Ipoh’s lanes are the perfect place to wander, people watch, and cafe-hop an afternoon away.

Ipoh street art

Penang might be Malaysia’s street art capital—but did you know that Ipoh has a collection of murals by the same artist? Truthfully, I prefer the street art in Ipoh! For starters, you don’t have to queue to get a look in.

Ernest Zacharevic’s work spurred on a local street art scene, and now Ipoh is decorated with dozens of colourful murals done by local artists.

Colourful architecture

I love Malaysian architecture, especially Chinese shophouses with their five-foot ways and pretty shutters and tiles.

Ipoh mixes heritage shophouses and British Colonial architecture with modernist concrete monstrosities. If you’re a fan of the Malaysian city aesthetic, you’ll love Ipoh.

Ipoh cave temples

There are some truly magnificent temples nestled in the jungle and built into limestone rock formations on Ipoh’s outskirts. Sam Poh Tong, Kek Lok Tong and Perak Cave Temple are three of the most prominent.

When you need a break from the city, Perak’s lush landscapes are only a short drive away.

Ipoh travel essentials

How long to spend in ipoh.

While it’s possible to visit Ipoh as a day trip from Kuala Lumpur or Penang, I highly recommend staying for at least a few days.

We spent a full week in Ipoh and didn’t run out of things to do. 3 days and 2 nights is a good amount of time to spend in Ipoh if you’re a first-time visitor.

How to get to Ipoh

Finally, Ipoh’s location roughly halfway between KL and Penang means it’s perfectly positioned for a stopover and easy to incorporate into any Malaysia itinerary.

It’s possible to get to Ipoh in a few hours from Kuala Lumpur by car, train or bus, or to travel from George Town or the nearby Cameron Highlands.

Kuala Lumpur to Ipoh train

There are regular daily trains between Kuala Lumpur’s Sentral Station and Ipoh, starting at 8.30am and running until late. This was our preferred method of travel when we visited Ipoh. The journey is fairly unremarkable, but it must be said that Malaysian trains are a very comfortable way to travel!

And for under 10 USD per person, it’s also very affordable. The trip by train from KL to Ipoh takes around 2.5 to 3 hours.

View the latest train timetable and book your train tickets online here through 12GoAsia .

Kuala Lumpur to Ipoh bus

If you prefer to travel from KL to Ipoh by bus, there are a number of companies that make this journey. Express coaches depart from TBS Kuala Lumpur (centrally located in Bandar Tasek Selatan) or the airport and terminate at one of three bus depots in the Ipoh area.

Look for a bus that will take you to either Jalan Bendahara or Aman Jaya—both are not too far from the centre. You’ll need to take a taxi for the final part of the journey into town.

There’s no arguing with the price—a bus ticket will set you back as little as 5 USD per person. The bus from KL to Ipoh takes a little over 3 hours.

View the latest bus timetable and book your bus tickets online here through Bookaway .

Kuala Lumpur to Ipoh by private car

If you’re short on time or you just prefer to travel comfortably, a private transfer by air conditioned car (or minivan for large families and groups) is the fastest and easiest way to get from Kuala Lumpur to Ipoh.

GP Global’s door-to-door service includes pick up from your KL hotel – and you can make as many rest stops as you like along the way.

Check prices and availability for private transfers here on Bookaway .

George Town (Penang) to Ipoh

It’s also possible to travel to Ipoh from Penang. The only option here is to travel by bus—but take heart, because the journey is slightly shorter (a mere 2.5 hours on the road).

A number of different companies run express buses throughout the day and drop passengers off at Aman Jaya station in Ipoh. A ticket for this service will set you back approximately 5-11 USD.

View the latest bus timetable and book your Penang to Ipoh tickets online here through Bookaway .

Cameron Highlands to Ipoh

There are six daily buses connecting Tanah Rata (the closest town to Cameron Highlands) with Ipoh. The journey takes about 2 hours and 45 minutes, and tickets cost 5 USD per person. This service also terminates at Ipoh’s Aman Jaya station.

View the latest bus timetable and book your Cameron Highlands to Ipoh tickets online here through Bookaway .

Can you visit Ipoh on a day trip?

It’s possible to visit Ipoh in a day from Kuala Lumpur, Cameron Highlands, or even Penang. If you have your own rental car , you can drive yourself to Ipoh and spend a day exploring.

If you don’t have a car, I recommend joining an organised day trip that includes transfers. If you try to visit Ipoh in a day using the train or bus, you’ll run out of time.

This private full-day trip from Kuala Lumpur to Ipoh covers all the highlights and is incredibly good value for money.

Where to stay in Ipoh

For a city of its size, Ipoh has a great range of accommodation options in both the Old Town and New Town. As you’ll see, Ipoh is fairly walkable, so it doesn’t really matter which side of the river you choose to stay on.

Generally speaking, the new part of town is where you’ll find contemporary hotels and hostels, while the Old Town is home to Ipoh’s heritage inns and boutique accommodations. If you want to be right in the thick of it, I recommend choosing a hotel in the Old Town.

Budget accommodation in Ipoh

Beds in Garden Hostel | Newly opened in 2018, this is probably the best hostel option in Ipoh. Beds start from 14 USD/night. Check availability and rates on Agoda .

Mid-range hotels in Ipoh

French Hotel | Located in the New Town, this hotel is simple but clean with excellent air-con (so important!) and an on-site cafe. Doubles start from 32 USD/night. Check availability and rates on Agoda .

Ban Loong Hotel | Heritage accommodation in a restored Old Town shophouse. Rooms are modern and sparse; some have loft spaces. Doubles start from 40 USD/night. Check availability and rates on Agoda .

Boutique hotels in Ipoh

27 Concubine Lane | Another heritage hotel, this time located right on Ipoh’s Concubine Lane. Brace yourself for crowds and possible noise pollution. Private rooms with a shared bathroom start from 30 USD/night. Check availability and rates on Agoda .

Sarang Paloh Heritage Stay | An exquisite heritage building situated at the quieter end of Ipoh’s Old Town. Rooms are clean and modern, and the indoor-outdoor common spaces feature original floor tiles and loads of greenery. Doubles start from 65 USD/night. Check availability and rates on Agoda .

Sekeping Kong Heng | An uber-trendy warehouse conversion right in the heart of Ipoh Old Town. Some rooms feature sleeping lofts, and there are beautiful shared terraces that open out onto the treetops. Because of the location, it can get noisy (there are cafes and bars directly downstairs and next door), and the chic design isn’t kid-friendly nor accessible. The simplest single rooms start from 20 USD/night. More information and rates here .

Orientation & getting around

Ipoh is split into two by the Kinta River. The west side of the city, the aptly named Old Town, is where you’ll find most of Ipoh’s shophouses, heritage buildings and museums.

The eastern side of the city, the New Town, was developed at the turn of the century. It’s the more ‘livable’ side of town, with parks, gardens, and most of the city’s best restaurants and hawker markets. The New Town area is less atmospheric but has an interesting mishmash of architecture.

I highly recommend taking the time to explore both sides of Ipoh. This Ipoh 3 days 2 nights itinerary includes the Old Town and the New Town.

Ipoh is pretty compact and generally walkable. It does get extremely hot though—and there isn’t a whole lot of shade—so it’s a good idea to avoid walking in the middle of the day. We caught one taxi during our week-long stay, and that was on a particularly blazing day.

Ipoh’s red and yellow metred taxis are generally reliable and can take you across town for a couple of dollars. Uber and Grab, Malaysia’s homegrown rideshare service, are both available in Ipoh as well.

Things to do in Ipoh: 72 hour Ipoh itinerary

72 hours is a good amount of time to spend in Ipoh if you want to see the main sights and sample the best Ipoh food.

Here’s a quick overview of my recommended 3 days 2 nights Ipoh itinerary:

Day 1: Heritage Ipoh Breakfast at a traditional coffee shop The Ipoh Heritage Trail Self-guided tour of Ipoh’s best street art White coffee & egg tarts Ipoh’s house museums Kong Heng Square Explore Ipoh’s laneways Beansprout chicken & snow beer Gerbang Malam night market

Day 2: New Ipoh Dim sum for breakfast Ipoh Flea Market Mural Art’s Lane Panglima Kinta Mosque ‘Dessert Street’ New Town architecture Tong Sui Kai Hawker Centre Cocktails at Tiga Bar

Day 3: Beyond the city Ipoh Cave Temples Mirror Lake

Ipoh itinerary Day 1: Heritage Ipoh (the Old Town)

Breakfast at a traditional coffee shop.

At the time of my visit, I remember commenting that Ipoh makes me nostalgic for a childhood I never had. There’s just something about Malay coffee shops ( kopitiam ) that’s so sentimental.

Maybe it’s the ambiance, or the fact that service staff tend to be older and approach their work with extreme diligence. Or it might be the fact that they serve iced Milo (I actually did drink Milo all throughout my childhood).

I love the addition of crackers on the side of every saccharine cup of white tea. Thick white toast with Kaya butter (coconut jam), which tastes a bit like vanilla or pandan, feels like something your mum would make for you when you were feeling under the weather.

My favourite old-school Ipoh coffee shops:

• Lim Ko Pi ⚑ This no-frills eatery embodies everything that’s great about a traditional Malay coffee shop. You can’t go wrong with a cup of sweet tea with crackers on the side (pictured above). The noodle dishes and dim sum are also tasty.
• 22 Hale Street ⚑ This cute cafe doubles as a heritage museum and souvenir shop . Their rendition of Kaya Toast (pictured above; note the Jenga tower of butter!) was the best we had in Ipoh. Don’t leave without visiting the restroom—the decoration is really something!

Walk the Ipoh Heritage Trail

As in other Malaysian cities, the British left a legacy of stunning architecture when they exited from Perak in 1957. Ipoh’s colonial buildings have since been overlaid with townhouses, mosques and municipal buildings in a range of architectural styles.

But it’s the well-preserved British colonial buildings and turn-of-the-century townhouses that steal the show.

Highlights include the white-domed Ipoh Railway Station and adjoining Majestic Station Hotel, which I’ve heard described as ‘The Taj Mahal of Ipoh’; the neo-Classical High Court ; the 1931-built Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank building ; and the Chung Thye Phin building .

Shophouses of note are the Dramatists’ Hotel (as the name suggests, it served to accommodate actors performing at Ipoh’s since-demolished Chinese Theatre); the Mikasa Photo Shop (famously used as a cover for a Japanese spy during WWII); and the Seenivasagam Brothers’ residence and offices , a row of gorgeous pre-war townhouses.

One of the best ways to explore Ipoh Old Town is using the Ipoh Heritage Trail map. Most buildings marked on the route are signposted and feature information plaques out the front. Ipoh’s tourism information office has a reputation for long queues—avoid that by downloading a PDF copy of the map instead.

If you would prefer to explore Old Town Ipoh in depth with a private local guide, this 8-hour itinerary focuses on the city’s Heritage Trail and includes a visit to Kellie’s Castle at the end.

Track down Ernest Zacharevic’s Ipoh murals

When Lithuanian street artist Ernest Zacharevic left his mark on Penang, he contributed in no small way to the city’s explosion in popularity. Can you blame Ipoh for wanting a piece of the action?

In 2014, Zacharevic was invited to paint a series of eight murals in Ipoh, each inspired by a different facet of local culture. Only seven remain visible today.

Zacharevic’s Ipoh murals are artfully woven into the Old Town and fit seamlessly with Ipoh’s heritage architecture. They really bring the history of the town to life. All the major murals are marked out on Google Maps and are pretty easy to spot from the street.

Ernest Zacharevic murals in Ipoh:

• Old Uncle Drinking Coffee ⚑ This mural, one of the largest in Ipoh, was commissioned by Oldtown White Coffee. The design on the cup is delightful—exactly like the painted china you still see in Ipoh’s cafes today.
• Kopi Break ⚑ You’ll have to come early if you want to see this large-scale mural without the parked cars in front. Coffee is often consumed this way in Southeast Asia, in small plastic bags that can be tied to the handle of a motorbike and sipped on the go.
• A Single Bag of Coffee The smallest of Zacharevic’s Ipoh murals, A Single Bag of Coffee is just that—a life-sized plastic bag of coffee with a drinking straw painted on a blue and white metal gate.

• Trishaw ⚑ Located in Market Lane, this 3D mural incorporates a metal trishaw frame mounted to the wall. My favourite Ernest Zacharevic mural in Ipoh.
• A Yellow Hummingbird ⚑ I love the colours in this piece, which really pop against the blue-wash wall where it’s painted.
• A Paper Plane   ⚑ This mural depicts two kids riding in a paper plane. It’s painted quite high up on the side of a rather weathered building. The child’s bright yellow shirt is the easiest feature to spot.
• Evolution   ⚑ This large-scale, monochrome painting on the northern side of the Han Chin Pet Soo house museum (see below) is an ode to Ipoh’s tin mining history.

Try Ipoh’s famous white coffee & egg tarts

No trip to the Old Town would be complete without a glass of iced white coffee and an egg tart. White coffee , an Ipoh specialty first developed by Chinese tin miners in Perak, is prepared with coffee beans that have been roasted in margarine.

The white colour comes from the copious amounts of condensed milk and creamer added at the end. It’s tooth-loosenly sweet. Pair a glass with a piece of Dan Zhi (toast with a soft-boiled egg) or even better, a Macau -style egg tart—another Ipoh classic.

Where to try Ipoh white coffee:

• Kedai Kopi Sin Yoon Loong ⚑ One of the oldest (if not the oldest) cafes in Ipoh that still serves white coffee the old way. Food stalls along the perimetre offer sweets and lunch meals. Always open, and always crowded.
• Nam Heong White Coffee ⚑ Located directly opposite Sin Yoon Loong, Nam Heong vies for the title of Ipoh’s original white coffee merchant. Try both and decide which one you prefer.
• Oldtown White Coffee ⚑ Malaysia’s biggest white coffee brand, with several branches located across the city.

Learn about local history at a house museum

There are two small house museums in Ipoh Old Town that I think are worth a visit. The first, Han Chin Pet Soo ⚑ , explores Perak’s tin mining heritage. The venue started out as the Hakka Miners Clubhouse, founded in 1893 by a miner named Leong Fee.

Once strictly off-limits to non-members, it reopened as a museum fairly recently, and now displays a collection of mining memorabilia and antiques donated by members of the Ipoh community. Entry is free; reserve online in advance .

The nearby Ho Yan Hor Museum   ⚑ is dedicated to one of Ipoh’s most famous residents, Dr Ho Kai Cheong. The herb magnate is the man behind one of Malaysia’s most prolific medicinal tea brands, and it all started at this little shophouse in Ipoh.

This museum really stole my heart—the family’s story is quite remarkable, and the museum staff are extremely sweet. Entrance is free (no reservations required).

Kong Heng Square

Ipoh’s hip new creative precinct, Kong Heng Square ⚑ , houses a few gift boutiques , a barbershop, and a museum dedicated to local film director Yasmin Ahmad. Plan B , probably the city’s trendiest cafe, is also located inside the industrial-chic complex.

Admittedly I didn’t love the food at Plan B, but the Melbourne-style lattes were fantastic. There are some cool street art pieces and independent shops scattered around as well, making it a nice place for a wander.

Discover Ipoh’s laneway culture

Back in 1892, a fire destroyed much of Ipoh’s Old Town. As part of the urban renewal project that followed, Ipoh was reconstructed in a more ‘orderly’ fashion, with gridded streets to make navigating easier, and laneways to organise the city’s various trades and merchants.

At the time, Yao Tet Shin, a local mining tycoon and land owner, is said to have gifted a lane to each of his three wives. These would go on to become Ipoh’s three most popular laneways.

Wife Lane (now known as Lorong Hale or 大奶巷), Concubine Lane (now known as Lorong Panglima or 二奶巷) and Second Concubine Lane (now known as Market Lane or 三奶巷) are all lined with townhouses that once served as opium dens and brothels.

Those illicit days are long gone—now, many of the historical facades along the lane have been restored and turned into cafes and shops. Add a few interactive street murals and some hanging lanterns, and you have yourself a picture-perfect laneway.

Concubine Lane ⚑ is by far the most popular laneway in Ipoh. It’s packed to the brim on weekends (verging on unpleasant in the afternoons). The other two lanes are probably awaiting a similar fate; but for now, they’re largely empty so you can still enjoy an unfettered stroll.

While you’re in the area, make sure you pop into BookXcess Kong Heng Ipoh ⚑ , a bank turned bookshop where novels are displayed in the old vaults, and the nearby Ipoh Heritage Barber ⚑ , a very photogenic men’s salon that channels those old-school Ipoh vibes. Both are walking distance from the western end of Concubine Lane.

Beansprout chicken and ‘snow beer’ in the Old Town

There are a handful of one-dish-specialty restaurants dotted around the western end of Concubine Lane. Try Restoran Tauge Ayam Lou Wong   ⚑ for a big plate of Ipoh’s famous chicken with beansprouts, and Kafe Sun Yoon Wah   ⚑ for a ‘snow beer’ (literally frozen beer).

If you want to keep the party going, there are a few open-air ‘beer gardens’ located in this area as well (just look out for the blue plastic chairs).

Wander through Gerbang Malam Night Market

If you have time, end your first day in Ipoh with a wander through the lively Gerbang Malam Night Market ⚑ , where dozens of small Gerai shops open up every night at 7pm and sell an array of clothing, accessories and knickknacks.

I wouldn’t necessarily do my souvenir shopping here, but it’s worth visiting for the local atmosphere.

Ipoh itinerary Day 2: Contemporary Ipoh (the New Town)

Dim sum for breakfast.

Do as many of Ipoh’s families do and start your second day with a breakfast spread at one of the city’s dim sum joints. I’ve never been a huge fan of dim sum, but I absolutely adored eating it in Ipoh. The ordering process can be a bit confusing; if in doubt, grab a seat and watch how other people do it.

Usually a waiter will take your drink order first (I highly recommend starting with a pot of jasmine tea). You’re then free to approach the different counters scattered around the dining room and pick out which bite-sized morsels you want to try.

At Restaurant Foh San (pictured below), there are two counters: One for baskets of steamed goodies, and another for sweets. Other restaurants serve dishes on wheely carts: You simply take a seat and wait for the servers to come to you. Everything gets marked off against a long docket, which you present at the cash counter to pay.

The best thing about dim sum restaurants is that they open bright and early, most by 6am. It’s a perfect way to kick off a big day of sightseeing.

Old-school dim sum joints to try in Ipoh:

• Restaurant Foh San ⚑ My favourite dim sum in Ipoh. The food is fantastic (try the tofu, steamed prawn dim sum and sesame balls), and the open-air dining room is very pleasant. Open from 6.30am (closed Tuesdays)
• Restoran Chef Fatt ⚑ More than 50 dim sum on offer, including a nice rendition of lau sar pau (salted egg custard buns) made with lotus paste. Open daily from 6am.
• Ming Court Hong Kong Dim Sum ⚑ Right across the road from Restaurant Foh San, this is another popular dim sum venue. Try the black sesame soup and fish balls. Open from 6am (closed Thursdays).
• Greentown Dimsum Cafe ⚑ Located at bit further out near Ipoh Town Square and open later, from 9am. We didn’t make it to this dim sum restaurant, but it gets consistently good reviews. It’s a little cheaper than other dim sum joints, too.

Browse the Ipoh Flea Market (Sundays only)

If you happen to be in Ipoh on a Sunday, you can take a stroll down Memory Lane —literally. On Sunday mornings, this laneway in Ipoh’s New Town hosts a colourful pop-up flea market . Dozens of stalls descend on the area, selling an eclectic range of vintage Malaya memorabilia and British-era goods, including melamine plates, tiffin boxes and old records.

There is also a fair amount of second-hand clothing on offer, as well as a sprinkling of food and drink stalls. See if you can spot the two dads who set up a little sex shop on a single trestle table—pretty hilarious.

Be dazzled by Mural Art’s Lane

Also in the New Town, Mural Art’s Lane   ⚑ is where you’ll find the city’s best contemporary street murals. There are literally dozens and dozens of paintings large and small dotted all throughout this area. It’s a visual feast! Some murals are the work of school or community groups; others can be attributed to local artists and collectives.

All blend in perfectly with the urban environment, conforming to the angles of doorways and window grills, and accommodating the sprigs of green emerging from the cracks in the concrete.

These artworks are more colourful than Ernest Zacharevic’s murals, which is why I personally prefer them. Many reference local festivals and traditions, so you can learn a bit about Ipoh as you go.

Pop into Panglima Kinta Mosque

Located at the end of Mural Art’s Lane, Panglima Kinta Mosque ⚑ is worth a quick visit. Dating back to 1898, the blue and white mosque was one of the biggest and most impressive in all of Ipoh when it was finished. Visitors are welcome to enter the mosque outside of prayer times.

Eat your way along Ipoh’s dessert strip

For an afternoon pick-me-up, head to Ipoh’s unofficial sweets strip. Some of the city’s best bakeries, cookie shops and sit-down dessert bars are spread across several blocks in the New Town area.

Start with an ice cream sandwich at Hokkaido Ice Cream Puff ⚑ before sampling some of Perak’s famous pastries at Chin Han Guan Biscuits ⚑ and Guan Heong Biscuit Shop ⚑ (takeaway available). An egg tart or two from Hong Kee Egg Tart ⚑ is also a must.

Check out the New Town’s eclectic architecture

If the Old Town is a well-curated landscape of heritage buildings, Ipoh’s New Town is a total hodgepodge of past and present. As someone who loves concrete, Brutalism and abandoned buildings, I’m a big fan of this style.

Aside from the 1950s theatres (such as the Ruby, pictured below) and a bevvy of dilapidated hotels, offices and banks, you’ll also see some incredible (and original) terrazzo floor mosaics, hand-painted shop signs and the like.

Ipoh has some lovely arched five-foot ways and forsaken buildings that nature has reclaimed. I spent several afternoons wandering around this part of Ipoh with my camera. It might not encapsulate everyone’s idea of beauty—but it’s a street photograph’s dream for sure.

Dinner at Tong Sui Kai Hawker Centre

Dinner at a traditional Malaysian food market is a must for any Ipoh itinerary. Ipoh’s best hawker centres are all in the New Town. Tong Sui Kai ⚑ (open from 6pm daily) is my pick of the bunch.

If you’re not familiar with the concept, a hawker centre (essentially a night food market) is comprised of many separate stalls, each specialising in one or two dishes which are cooked fresh to order.

The idea is to grab a table and rove the aisles, collecting as many plates as you can stomach (or carry) to piece together your own dinner spread.

Nasi Kandar, Ipoh Laksa (pictured above) and Ayam Garam (salted chicken) are among the Ipoh specialty dishes you should look out for.

For dessert, try a bowl of Ais Kacang (a mountain of shaved ice topped with fruit, coconut milk, syrup, and other goodies), or pop around the corner to Funny Mountain Soya Beancurd   ⚑ (open until 7.30pm) for a bowl of Tau Fu Fah (soy custard pudding).

Cocktails at Tiga Bar

Top off your second day with a drink at Ipoh’s coolest cocktail bar. Tucked away in a heritage building on Market Lane, Tiga Bar ⚑ serves imaginative drinks, many of them themed around Ipoh’s heritage and local ingredients. The Dr. Ho Remedy made with cognac infused with Ho Yan Hor tea is a must-try!

Ipoh itinerary Day 3: Temples, caves & lakes

Once you’ve had your fill of city activities, travel just 5km south-east of the city centre to discover Gunung Rapat, home to Ipoh’s best natural attractions.

You can comfortably fill a whole day exploring this area using taxis or rented bicycles to get around.

Ipoh’s Taoist temples

If you’ve been to Vietnam, Gunung Rapat will remind you of Ninh Binh or Halong Bay . The otherwordly landscape is made up of pockets of jungle, rock formations and shimmering waterways (except in Ipoh, you’ll find lakes instead of rice fields).

This area is known for its spectacular Taoist and Buddhist temples, nestled in caves or clinging to the sides of limestone karsts. Don’t miss Sam Poh Tong (Three Buddhas Cave), the oldest cave temple in the area and the largest of its kind in Malaysia (yes, it’s bigger than the Batu Caves Murugan Temple!). Beautiful views of Gunung Rapat can be found from the temple entrance, reached via 240-steps.

Perak Tong Cave Temple is another Ipoh cave temple you should visit. Behind the temple you can access a walking path that leads you to the top of a limestone formation for amazing views of the landscape.

Nearby, Nam Thean Tong Temple and Ling Sen Tong Temple are also worth seeing. A little further south, you’ll find the Buddhist temple at Guanyin Cave and further east, the incredible Kek Lok Tong Buddhist Temple .

Tasik Cermin (Mirror Lake)

Popular with locals, Tasik Cermin (Mirror Lake) is part of a network of waterways around Gunung Rapat. There are viewing platforms and restaurants nearby.

You can also do short walks or bike rides around the lake and up to Qing Xin Ling Leisure & Cultural Village , another popular tourist attraction in the area.

We didn’t get to go to Mirror Lake when we were in Ipoh, but Daphne’s guide includes everything you need to plan a visit.

Where to eat in Ipoh: More Ipoh restaurants to try

• Funny Mountain Soya Beancurd – for Ipoh tau fu far
• Deen CT Corner Cendol – for Malaysian cendol and other desserts
• Lou Wong’s – for delicious chicken and rice
• Yum Yum Restaurant – for authentic Nyonya food
• Sri Anandha Bahavan – for authentic Indian cuisine

More time? Here are the best day trips from Ipoh

If you have more time left on your Ipoh itinerary, try one of these day trips.

Ipoh to Cameron Highlands

If you have a day in Ipoh to spare, take the opportunity to visit Cameron Highlands. Spend a full day hopping between tea plantations, picking strawberries, or even hiking in the nearby rainforest.

The easiest way to travel between Ipoh and Cameron Highlands is by bus. The first bus from Ipoh to Tanah Rata (the closest town to the tea fields) departs Ipoh at 8am and arrives in Cameron Highlands at 10.45am. The last return bus departs Tanah Rata at 6pm.

Note that Cameron Highlands can get very busy on weekends with day trippers from KL, so it’s best to visit on a weekday if possible. I also recommend pre-booking your transportation from Ipoh to avoid disappointment.

Click here to view the bus timetable and reserve tickets online through Bookaway .

Ipoh to Kuala Kangsar

Kuala Kangsar, Perak’s royal town, is an easy half-day trip from Ipoh. It boasts a beautiful mosque (the Ubudiah Mosque, pictured), and is close to some of Ipoh’s cave temples. The train journey from Ipoh to Kuala Kangsar takes just 30 minutes.

Services depart regularly (every half hour during peak times) from Ipoh Railway Station, and a one-way ticket costs around 4 USD.

Click here to check times and reserve train tickets online through 12GoAsia .

Alternatively, you can join an organised day tour from Ipoh to Kuala Kangsar. This private tour includes hotel transfers by air conditioned car. As well as visiting the mosque, you’ll also participate in a hands-on pottery workshop and visit the historic Victoria Bridge.

Click here to check prices and availability on Klook .

Ipoh to Kellie’s Castle

For a slightly off-beat addition to your Ipoh itinerary, travel 20km south to Batu Gajah. There you’ll find Kellie’s Castle, an abandoned country home sponsored by a Scottish rubber baron in 1915 but never finished.

The Moorish-revival architecture is quite spectacular, and the castle is filled with history (tours are available if you want to learn more). Nowadays, most people visit to take selfies in front of the deteriorating brickwork, which is utterly ‘Instagrammable’. More details about Kellie’s Castle here .

I used your blog so much last summer in Georgia. And everyone I met raved about it!! So nice to get some tips off you again on another adventure! You have a really nice writing style that doesn’t feel like it’s selling me something like so many other blogs. Thanks for your work!

Thanks so much Rhiannon, that’s so kind of you to say! I hope you had an incredible time in Georgia and enjoy your time in Malaysia! Safe travels.

Is it easy to travel from Ipoh to KLIA2?

Hi Jem – yes for sure, you can use the train.

I knew you would be the one helping me plan that (too short trip) to Malaysia!

Travel guides are helpful, but I was hoping to find a blog I could trust (which I hadn’t yet). I didn’t think you had been to SEA lately but I decided to take a look anyway after going through the Lonely Planet and reading the description of Ipoh. It reminded me of Haiphong, which we had decided to visit after reading your article and we all loved it so much. We will indeed absolutely put Ipoh on the top of our destinations for that short two week stay next July.

Can’t wait to read more of your suggestions for Malaysia. Thank you so much!

So happy to hear that Isabelle! Ipoh really is one of my favourite places in Asia… I really want to go back. It definitely reminds me a bit of Haiphong so I’m sure you will enjoy it too! Have a blast!!

Thank you for this article, it’s really helpful. Do you have more information about the eclectic architecture of the new town, like places to see (I love brutalist architecture) ? Or maybe, I’ll just have to walk around without a plan…

The old town is quite small so you can happily walk around and explore! That was my strategy and I had a great time!

that’s an amazing blog post. thank you for all the effort and informations.

Loved Ipoh. Great food, great street art and lovely people. Definitely worth a visit.

Agreed! Glad you liked my Ipoh itinerary, thanks for reading 🙂

Hello! Thank you for your complete guide it helped us so much to plan our trip to Ipoh!

So happy to hear that, Sofia! I hope you had a wonderful time!

I like to go to Ipoh for weekend getaway from KL. My favourite place to stay is Weil Hotel, they serve good spread of breakfast. Mostly local food. If tourist don’t have time to try local food while in Ipoh, don’t miss this one!

Thanks for the tip!

I am from Malaysia and Ipoh is often compared to Penang and has the best choices of food. You perfectly summed up the experiences of Ipoh, from the mural arts to the colonial past! A reminder for me to explore my country more 🙂 Thanks Emily.

Thanks for the kind words, Pashmina! Very glad to hear that!

Beautiful writing of my hometown, Ipoh

Thank you Teresa!

Beautiful post! BTW, the gourd-like vase on the bottom left of the photo for the flea market is the iconic Perak ‘labu sayong’ – a fired clay vessel for holding water and keeping it cool. It’s always dark, nearly black in colour. That one looks somewhat worn. One of the several craftwork unique to Perak. (Another is ‘tekat’, a Perak Malay technique of gold embroidery onto velvet).

I think one reason I have a soft spot for Perak, despite not being Perakian myself, is that there’s so much to discover in Perak, yet Perak doesn’t show herself off. She plays it cool, and it’s up to you to come find out. Or not. She doesn’t care!

What a beautiful way to put it, Teja! I love that.

Thanks for the information about the antiques, too. I recognised the tiffin boxes but I wasn’t sure what that vessel was used for!

Such a great guide about ipoh! Its right in my backyard but I haven’t spent any proper time there. Definitely need to now!

Thanks, Nadia! I hope you get a chance to visit soon—it’s a really cool city! I’d be very interested to hear your perspective as a local!

What a comprehensive article on Ipoh! I’be never been to Malaysia. For when I do, I’ve got to visit Ipoh and for that reason I’ll pin it for planning. BTW, I love street art too.

Thanks a lot, Jyoti! I hope you make it there soon! If you love street art, you’ll love Ipoh for sure!

I’ve never heard of Ipoh until today and now I want to go there. What a beautiful place! I especially love the murals and from what you describe, the food scene is pretty great too. One more for the bucket list!

Thanks, Bea! Definitely one for your travel wish list. The food is excellent! I only wish I had eaten more!

Ipoh Itinerary 2024: The Perfect Itinerary For 1 – 3 Days

Looking for the perfect Ipoh trip itinerary? Great! That’s exactly what we give you in this Ipoh itinerary blog.

A quirky place to visit, Ipoh is ideal for a long weekend – perhaps in combination with a stay at the Cameron Highlands or as a stopover when travelling between Kuala Lumpur and Penang.

Discover the city’s laid back charm on the 6.5 kilometre Ipoh Heritage Walk, taking in restored colonial buildings such as the Railway Station, Birch Clock Tower and Ipoh Town Hall and Post Office. A sometimes sleepy but atmospheric town – showing strong similarities with George Town, Penang – streets are lined with Chinese shophouses and an abundance of coffee houses that spill out onto the pavements.

Noted for dramatic street art murals, check out Old Town and the more recently added Mural’s Art Lane in New Town, for colourful depictions of local family life, regional customs and traditions. Further afield, explore the region’s mystical cave temples deep within Ipoh’s limestone cliffs, and the equally spectacular Tambun Cave full of Neolithic cave paintings dating back thousands of years.

Recent investment into Ipoh has led to not only a revitalised Old Town but a regeneration of its Malaysian-Chinese cuisine and culture… and our top reason to visit Ipoh is without a doubt to sample the food, with Lonely Planet calling it the “lesser known food capital” of Malaysia. Spoilt for choice, it’s a foodie’s delight, with local restaurants, hawker stalls and expansive food courts offering mouth-watering fare at great prices!

Need to get to Ipoh? We can arrange a private taxi from anywhere in Malaysia. Click here for more details.

Day 1: Discover Old Ipoh Town

Today is all about discovering the best of Ipoh within the city. It’s perfect whether it’s the start of a longer trip or you are just looking for an Ipoh itinerary 1 day. Either way, I recommend you follow this exactly!

• Start the day at Kedai Kopi Sin Yoon Loong – the perfect place to try Ipoh’s famous white coffee and to have a roti breakfast.
• Go crazy walking around the Old Town. Check out the colonial architecture, magical laneways and keep a lookout for Ipoh’s famous street art.
• Visit Ipoh World/Han Chin Pet Soo to learn more about the history of tin mining in the area.
• Take a short taxi trip to Restaurant Lou Wong for lunch where you can have Ipoh’s best tauge ayam.
• Have a siesta in the heat of the day ready to venture out again as things cool down in the early evening.
• Head to Gerbang Malam night market for dinner and shopping. This is particularly good on weekend nights.

Kedai Kopi Sin Yoon Loong

The Story of Ipoh in a Cup… this 1937 establishment was the Old Town birthplace of the now famed Ipoh White Coffee, and today Sin Yoon Loong is still going strong!

What better way to start your day than enjoying breakfast at this longtime establishment? No WiFi or air-conditioning here, in fact the rear of the café appears to have the same coat of paint from years gone by. Locals and tourists adore this place, so head out early to avoid crowds – though you may still need to queue a while for a table.

This kopitiam – traditional coffee shop – has a fairly basic menu and the coffee is perhaps not as tasty as years ago, with tourism demands leading to an urgency to churn out cup after cup, but this is one place everyone should tick off when visiting Ipoh.

And, the coffee? Well, the beans are roasted with palm oil and served with condensed milk, resulting in a rather sweet and creamy beverage. Cheers!

Address: 15A, Jalan Bandar Timah, 30000 Ipoh, Negeri Perak . Closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays

Walking Around The Old Town

The highlight of your Ipoh one day trip itinerary will be exploring the heart of the city. Ipoh’s Old Town is full of heritage buildings that showcase the town’s 130-year history from a small Malay village to a minor tourist destination.

On the west side of the Kinta River that flows through the city, you’ll find colonial shophouses, that are often likened to Penang’s Georgetown. Easy to explore on foot, due to the excessive heat you might want to consider jumping in a taxi.

At the start of the 19th Century, Malaysia was under British Colonial rule with Ipoh the second most important city. Though a huge fire in 1892 led to most of the city being rebuilt, there is still a strong structure of Ipoh Old Town remaining, alongside newer places to explore with shophouses revamped into cafes, hotels, galleries and tea shops.

We recommend you follow the self-guided Ipoh Heritage Walk, taking you to all the major landmarks. Starting at Ipoh Railway Station, you’ll see the majestic Ipoh Town Hall and Old Post Office, High Court and much more. Check here for details.

The most famous street is probably Concubine Lane, with colourful decorations and tasty cold treats – quite different from the days of old when the shophouses were home to opium and gambling dens! Today, you’ll find charming souvenir shops, fashion outlets and many cafes. It’s a great place to visit at weekends with its busy, lively atmosphere.

Also in the Old Town, check out stunning wall murals with the most famous by the original artist, Ernest Zacharevic. His paintings are scattered throughout the lanes, along with many newer murals. You’ll see “An Old Uncle Drinking Coffee”, “Paper Plane” and the most dramatic, “Evolution”, that covers the entire side of the herbal-tea Ho Yan Hor Museum. Check this Ipoh street art map for the best spots.

Finally, discover more about Islam at the stunning Sultan Idris Shah II Mosque, near to the train station and facing the Birch Memorial Clock Tower. The State Mosque of Perak, it’s unmissable with many bronze domes and majestic modern architecture.

Take a break from your Ipoh day tour itinerary because it’s time for lunch, and your destination is Lou Wong’s – the most famous Chinese restaurant in town. Be sure to select its noted dish, Tauge Ayam (bean sprouts chicken).

Don’t come expecting a calm dining experience. This is a busy, sometimes hectic, restaurant with locals and tourists queuing for the famed food!

Address: 49, Jalan Yau Tet Shin, Taman Jubilee, 30000 Ipoh, Negeri Perak

Gerbang Malam Night Market

Once the sun goes down, this is the heart of Ipoh! The night market sets up around 7pm daily with stalls selling all manner of things from mobile phone accessories, toys, clothes, footwear, perfumes, bags, etc.

Crowded by 8pm, enjoy the hustle and bustle in the evening’s warm air. Bargain hunt and negotiate your way to a good price. And once you’re all shopped out, you’ll find many dining choices in the side streets, offering delicious Chinese and Malay cuisine. There’s also a hawker centre right next door. I may have had the best ice kacang of my life here (called an ABC Special).

After a full day of walking, why not end your Ipoh 1 day trip itinerary with a relaxing foot massage at the market before heading back to the hotel.

Address: Jalan Dato Tahwil Azar, Taman Jubilee, 30300 Ipoh, Negeri Perak

Day 2: Enjoy Ipoh Surrounds

Now you’ve seen the sites within Ipoh, our Ipoh 2 days itinerary focuses on the attractions around Ipoh where you’ll find awesome scenery and cool cave temples.

Perak Cave Temple

In the limestone hills near Ipoh, there are amazing cave temples. These are basically exactly what they sound like – caves with temples 🙂 They are built into the hills and are serene, picturesque and well worth a visit.

This morning, use the Grab (like Uber) app to order taxis to help you explore some of them. These rides cost us RM6-11 each to get between the temples and the Old Town.

These are spiritual places which means you should dress in appropriate clothing. In this case, that’s shoulders and knees covered. You will (sadly) see many people not doing this, but I highly recommend you respect these temples and cover up.

The Perak Cave Temple is a big cave in a lovely spot. There are interesting rock formations and a big Buddha in the centre. The temple itself is located on the ground level, but there’s a staircase you can climb to get to the top of the hill. It’s quite a nice walk especially at the beginning through the cave.

Inside the cave, you’ll find paintings that depict celestial beings, flowers, and other images of spiritual significance.

Address: Jalan Kuala Kangsar, Kawasan Perindustrian Tasek, 31400 Ipoh

Kek Lok Tong Cave Temple

Next up is Kek Lok Tong. This Buddhist temple is the second stop today, where you’ll explore 12-acres of limestone caves and a wonderful reflexology footpath in the surrounding gardens.

Translating as “Cave of Ultimate Bliss (or Great Happiness)”, this atmospheric spacious cave, first discovered in the 1920s, enjoys good natural light and a refreshing breeze throughout. It’s truly a lovely spot to sit and reflect, in the company of Buddhist and Taoist statues.

Address: Pesiaran Sepakat 3, Taman Endah Jaya, 31350 Ipoh, Negeri Perak

Sam Poh Tong Cave Temple

Not far away is your next stop. Sam Poh Tong Cave Temple is one of the city’s oldest cave temples. It features a beautifully landscaped ornamental garden as well as a columbarium designed to hold the ashes of the departed.

What I liked about this cave temple is that the cave went on further than I expected to open up a big lovely area with the view you can see above. There was also a turtle pond with many turtles. The ornamental garden at the front is also beautiful.

Otherwise, this temple looked a little aged and wasn’t as spectacular as some of the others to me.

Address: Kampung Gunung Rapat, 31350 Ipoh

Ling Sen Tong Temple

Just a short walk from Sam Poh Tong Cave Temple, this colourful Taoist temple is located at the foot of a limestone mountain on the southern side of Ipoh and is full of statues of deities and animals. Literally translated it means “The Rock of Heavenly Spirits” and has a main compound area adorned with statues of characters from Chinese folklore.

Visit the garden for more wonderful statues, this time from Chinese mythology such as the Monkey King!

It’s a super colourful temple.

In between this temple and the last, you can also visit Nam Thean Tong Temple. It’s very easy to visit these three temples on foot as they are directly next to each other.

Address: Gunung Rapat, 31350 Ipoh, Perak

Tambun Cave

Also known as Gua Tambun, this limestone cave contains the largest number of neolithic cave paintings in Asia. Discovered in 1959 by a British soldier on a routine training exercise, they are estimated to be around 2,000-5,000 years old.

Painted on the side of a cliff (not actually inside a cave), art was found depicting animals, humans, fruit and geometric shapes. Unfortunately having been not very well preserved, today there are only a dozen or so recognisable from the original 600 found.

You can take a Grab here from the last cave temple. It is not far.

Address: 31400 Tambun, Perak

Kellie’s Castle

This unfinished, ruined mansion, is a wonderful Scottish home in the Malaysian jungle! With a story that combines romance, tragedy and mystery, it has become a popular attraction.

Owner and creator William Kellie Smith, a Scottish planter, passed away during construction leaving the project halted and forever unfinished. The castle was designed to replicate the great British Raj palaces in India, with Moorish-style arches and windows.

Shrouded in mystery for many years, eventually three secret tunnels were discovered under the house, and rumours abound of a car found parked inside one! Spooky stories of ghosts continue to this day – whether real or perhaps as a way to increase tourism…

Today, it’s quite a surreal site in the plantations of Perak, and you’ll enjoy the dizzying road that weaves its way to the Castle.

Address: 31000 Batu Gajah, Perak

Gunung Lang Recreational Park

If time permits, finish with a trip to the Gunung Lang Recreational Park.

Covering over 30 hectares, with half consisting of lakes, this park is set to a stunning backdrop of limestone hills. The main attractions include the man-made cascading waterfall, a 2 kilometre boardwalk across a swamp and sporadic lookout towers.

Children can have fun at the on-site playground and visit the mini zoo. Everyone can enjoy a short boat ride around the lake, making a great end to this Ipoh 2 days, 1 night itinerary.

Address: Jalan Damai, 30100 Ipoh, Negeri Perak

Day 3: Tons Of Fun At Sunway Lost World Of Tambun

If you have a third day in Ipoh, lucky you! Today is going to be lots of fun. That’s because you will spend it at the theme park, Sunway Lost World of Tambun.

It’s easy to spend an afternon and evening here exploring and then hanging out in the huge wave pool which may have some of the best views from a wave pool in the world!

Sunway Lost World Of Tambun

Wow, you’re in for fun-overload today! Visit the action-packed Sunway Lost World of Tambun just 10 kilometres from the centre of Ipoh. This great family-adventure destination covers 40-acres of Park. It’s cocooned by lush tropical jungle, natural hot springs, and sits at the foot of dramatic limestone cliffs.

With six themed areas, suitable for all age groups, plus a night park, this is your perfect Malaysian Eco-Adventure.

Try your luck at Malaysia’s biggest wave pool – Jungle Wave Bay. Younger children will adore the giant tipping-buckets, water cannons and spraying elephants in the three different water playgrounds. It’s terrific fun!

Next, time to check-out the majestic tigers at the thrilling Tiger Valley or discover the cute Petting Zoo (great for younger visitors) where you’ll interact with a wide variety of animals.

Now it’s time for some serious fun and thrills at the Amusement Park, with a roller coaster, swing-chair ride, dragon flight and 180 degrees pirate boat swing! They are all quite child-friendly, and there is a lack of thrilling amusement park-style rides.

However, if you want more thrills, head to Adventure Park with 13 high-rope challenges, rock climbing and a zip line along the lake!

Or you can learn some history of the area and look for tin in Tin Valley.

In the evening, head to the Lost World Hot Springs & Night Park. Relax in 13 different rejuvenating hot spring pools, such as the Steam Cave, Geyser of Tambun, and an Infinity Pool, soaking your tired feet! Dry off, grab some dinner at the on-site restaurant, and explore the enchanted Luminous Forest with amazing flora and fauna or the nocturnal wildlife at the Petting Zoo.

I recommend you head to this theme park mid-afternoon and plan to stay for the evening attractions to get the most out of this experience.

Best Places To Stay In Ipoh

When planning to visit Ipoh, consider staying around the Old Town, the centre of the city, for easy exploration of historic colonial buildings and to be well located for restaurants.

Alternatively, stay out of town hidden amongst the lush jungle and limestone cliffs at Gunung Rapat or stay at Tambun, slightly north of the city, for its natural hot springs, water park and some wonderful locally grown fruits such as the native tasty pomelo.

Whatever your budget, there’s a great range of hotels to choose from. Below, we’ve listed a few different places to consider including a budget, mid-range and more expensive option.

BEST – The Banjaran Hotsprings Retreat Review

Set amidst tropical jungle, this peaceful property is a luxurious sanctuary. Offering wellness, longevity, rejuvenation and detox treatments, you’re bound to leave with peace of mind and feeling terrific!

Surrounded by panoramic cliffs, explore the grounds for magnificent waterfalls and take a dip in a private Balinese pool. This is not your usual accommodation. In fact, a stay here will be a highlight of your visit to Ipoh!

Boasting 45 spacious, luxury villas – Lake, Garden or Water – we recommend taking one with a balcony overlooking the local canal. Villas come with private jacuzzi hot tubs filled with natural geothermal hot-spring water, private plunge pools, outdoor rain showers, private decks and sun loungers… All up, this is a quiet, stylish, luxury resort.

Dining is offered at Pomelo, an indoor/outdoor all-day restaurant focused on wellness and specially crafted meals to suit your needs. There’s also Jeff’s Cellar which was named one of the top 20 restaurants in Malaysia by Tatler. This stunning fine-dining restaurant and bar is set within a 260-million-year-old limestone cave!

With a famed spa, thermal steam cave and ice-bath, meditation cave, fish pool, jungle trails, fitness centre and swimming pool, you’ll find it hard to leave the grounds of the hotel!

Available for guests of 12 years of age and above.

MID-RANGE –  Regalodge Hotel Review

Location is everything here, with the hotel only 800-metres from the Ipoh Parade Shopping Centre, at the heart of the city. This 3-star hotel has a wide variety of room categories, including premier, deluxe, executive, suites, and Regal family suites.

Air-conditioned rooms with modern decor and large windows, overlooking garden, mountain or city views, and a bathroom with shower, all help make this our stand out as a mid-range choice of accommodation.

This hotel is an excellent choice for tourists, offering free WiFi in all rooms, a 24-hour front desk and has recreational facilities such as hot tub, sauna, spa, massage and steam room.

An on-site restaurant offers a selection of French cuisine at The Limestone’s Fine Dining Restaurant.

BUDGET – Beds In Garden Hostel Review

Billed as a 5-star boutique hostel, Beds In Garden is a ten-minute walk from Ipoh town centre.

Modern, quirky and full of natural light, the hostel has a mixture of air-conditioned rooms including family, female-dormitory, 6-bed mixed, single, double or quadruple rooms. Shared bathrooms come with hot water, soap and shampoo.

Guests can relax at a small but well-maintained garden area, enjoy a fitness centre, and the hostel offers WiFi in the communal areas and some parking.

A shared-kitchen area (with a local store less than 5-minutes walk) is available for guests to cook their own food, and a huge common area with a television showing movies and local news is a great place to relax or meet fellow travellers. Next door to a nightclub, it can be loud on weekends so we suggest you request a room away from that side of the hotel.

Final Words

We love Ipoh for its pretty Old Town which is filled with unusual street art and colonial buildings, trendy coffee shops and newer malls. There’s an air of being slightly off the main tourist-route. It can feel like you are discovering somewhere that will soon develop into a major Malaysian destination with both the New York Times and Lonely Planet trumpeting (quite rightly!) the delights of the local cuisine.

Add in the beauty of the surrounding countryside… We recommend you book your trip soon!

The old world charm of Ipoh: What to see, do and eat in the city

Sunday, 22 Jan 2023

Ipoh is certainly having its moment. The Perak capital – or at least where its tourism sector is concerned – ended 2022 on a positive note, having being mentioned in an online article titled “18 of Asia’s most underrated places”.

Published under CNN’s travel portal, the article placed Ipoh first on its list, though there was no indication that this was actually a ranking. Still, being featured first helps to give the city some prominence ... which is not just great for the state but for Malaysia, too.

The piece on Ipoh, written by CNN’s Asia correspondent Heather Chen, says that the city is notable for its “magnificent limestone hills and caves”, temples and food, citing white coffee as an example.

Yes, Ipoh does have many attractions, and lots of good food. A city built by the tin industry, Ipoh certainly has a rich history, and it continues to prosper with each passing year.

The place also attracts folks from all corners of the world with its old-world charm.

To help you navigate through the many interesting gems here, we’ve come up with a simple guide that may also help enhance your travel experience in Ipoh, especially if you’re only staying for one night.

Food choices in Ipoh are abundant, easily accessible and diverse, with many different cuisines to try. From rustic roadside stalls, to old-school kopitiams to fine dining establishments, you’re spoilt for choice, really.

Head over to the more prominent areas like Taman Canning and, of course, Ipoh Old Town, for some grub. The “famous” dim sum restaurant at Taman Canning gets crowded fast with both locals and tourists in the mornings.

Meanwhile, the equally well-known pork-free dim sum place – Restoran New Hollywood – is nearby too. This eatery is also pretty crowded at breakfast and lunch, especially during the holidays. Sometimes, you can see hordes of hungry people queuing up from as early as 7am.

Parking can be a little challenging in the area as it is essentially a large residential neighbourhood.

As for the Old Town area, there are kopitiams and cafes at almost every corner. Some dishes to try include bean sprouts chicken, Hakka noodles, curry chee cheong fun, curry noodles, yong tau foo, “nasi ganja” (local name for nasi kandar), tau foo fah and curry chicken bun (a Kampar specialty but you can find it here, too).

Ipoh really is a museum in itself and a treasure trove of history.

If you want to learn more about the city’s past, as well as see more heritage sites and buildings, engage in the services of a local tour guide like Sundralingam Saminathan (Ipoh Heritage Walk Sundra), a retired teacher who is passionate about the history of Ipoh.

You can also check out the Ipoh Tourist Information Centre on Facebook, or walk in to the building located at Jalan Tun Sambanthan (near the Birch Memorial Clock Tower), for details on other available heritage trails.

It would be hard to go around Ipoh without seeing at least one of the famous murals there. Like Penang, Ipoh also has a fair share of street art painted by local artists. There are murals that cover the whole sides of buildings, as well as smaller ones that blend so well with the surroundings you won’t realise it’s a painting until you get closer.

Check out the Mural Art’s Lane by Persatuan Pelukis Ipoh in the Old Town. This was the brainchild of a local art teacher named Eric Lai, who transformed the unassuming alley into a colourful, life-size work of art. This idea then turned the alley into a tourist attraction, breathing life into the area.

Look for the Ipoh Mural Art Trail map produced by the Ipoh Tourist Information Centre. This map shows the locations of some of the city’s famous street art, which includes Paper Plane, Old Uncle Drinking Coffee and Yellow Hummingbird.

It is worth noting that some of these murals are the works of Lithuanian street artist Ernest Zacharevic, who also did the famous murals in George Town, Penang.

To avoid getting stuck in traffic, you can always use a bicycle to get around Ipoh. (You can also walk, to a certain extent, especially around Old Town.)

In fact, cycling is fast becoming popular among locals in Ipoh. Actually, cycling was the preferred mode of transportation back in the day so you could say that this is a “resurgence” of sorts.

Besides that, tourists also seem to find cycling a refreshing way to discover the area.

You can easily rent a bike from the city or its surrounding neighbourhoods. Alternatively, you can look for one on CycleDios, a smart bicycle rental service, which also allows you to join its Ipoh Heritage Cycling Tour. Some of the places you can cycle to include the Kinta Riverwalk and Concubine Lane.

Head to the renowned kacang putih town in Buntong, to find out how this place captured the hearts and appetites of its customers.

For many Malaysians, kacang putih is a big part of our childhood. Some would even recall this delicious snack being sold in newspapers by roadside vendors.

Kampung Kacang Putih is about a 20-minute drive from the heart of Ipoh. Here, you can find plenty of shops and stalls selling several versions of the crunchy snack, as well as chips, murukku and other delicious tidbits. It’s a nice place to check out, especially if you’re looking for some goodies to buy as souvenirs.

Many vendors here suffered badly because of the pandemic, so they are hopeful that business will get better soon.

If you didn’t start the day with a cup of frothy coffee, then you have to end it with one. That’s how the locals do it in Ipoh.

At People’s Park Chang Jiang White Coffee, visitors not only get to indulge in a traditional breakfast (or a simple, scrumptious dinner), but they can also get the experience of dining in a park.

The al-fresco concept is enjoyed by many locals as it gives off a sense of nostalgia.

For people who enjoy nature while still being in the city, this famous park is a nice place to just hang out with family and friends.

Ipoh Street Art | A walking guide including map

Move over Penang, Malaysia has a new street art darling. Yup, Ipoh , the former capital of Malaysia has a burgeoning street art scene that should have most travellers adding the city to their Malaysia itinerary . Ready to explore? Here’s your ultimate guide to Ipoh Street Art, including a handy map!

Ipoh Street Art Map

Now if you really want a physical map, you just head over to the Ipoh Tourist Information Centre on Jalan Tun Sambanthan, and collect an Ipoh Guide to Street Art leaflet. That said, this map doesn’t document all of the pieces dotted around the city. Here’s our own map of where to find the art:

An introduction to Ipoh

You’ve probably landed on this article because you’re particularly interested in the street art. That said, if you wanted a bit of background on Ipoh, it’s worth delving into that.

The city is the third largest in Malaysia and the capital of the Perak state . It began its ‘life’ as a small riverside village in the 1820s but really boomed during the 1870’s and the tin rush as the town suddenly became a hotspot for tin mining and the population blossomed to support it.

Unfortunately the decline of that industry meant Ipoh went into stagnation, with residents leaving in droves in the late 20 th century, looking for jobs and fortune in other large cities like Kuala Lumpur . Luckily, Ipoh has started undergoing a revival, mainly due to the influx of tourism.

Today Ipoh still feels like a smaller town and we really enjoyed the atmosphere of this wonderful city. It feels off the beaten track and you won’t see many western tourists flanking its streets yet it has the infrastructure of high-end hotels and lovely boutique eateries that many crave. We enjoyed rubbing shoulders with local residents in the mornings at Nam Heong, drinking white coffee and devouring our egg tarts, but also going for a cocktail at Bricks and Barrels, or a plate of scones at Six and a Half coffee shop.

Whether it’s hawker stalls or high-end dining, street art or temples (and there are many of them), Ipoh is a great stop. Plus, it’s the perfect place to break up an itinerary between Kuala Lumpur and George Town or Penang).

History of Street Art in Ipoh

In 2014, prolific street artist Ernest Zacharevic headed to Ipoh on a commission: to main eight murals in collaboration with Old Town Coffee, the coffee chain (do try their signature Ipoh white coffee!) across the city.

Zacharevic, of Lithuanian descent, had made quite a name for himself in Malaysia at the time after painting a series of six murals in nearby Penang, as part of the George Town festival. That collection won him international praise, including the BBC calling him ‘ Malaysia’s answer to Banksy’ .

Zacharevic’s first murals started a culture of street art that is uniquely Malaysian – oils, installations, stencils and spray paint that are outdoor pieces which ‘interact’ with the landscape, similar to his ‘Children on Bicycle’ piece that is so famous in George Town.

Read next: Here is our guide to the street art in Penang!

Ipoh Street Art – the different areas

So, like any hot street art scene, Ipoh has heaps of different places you can experience it. Here’s the lowdown on the different regions:

Old Town – Ernest Zacharevic works: These are the original eight (well, now 7) commissioned pieces and street art trail

Old Town – Other works : A selection of other works, on nearly every second corner

New Town – Mural Arts Lane: Newer works mainly located near the Mural Arts Lane

Ipoh Old Town Street Art – Ernest Zacharevic Trail

While Ipoh now boasts a lot more than those original eight commissions, the art of old town Ipoh is still the most famous. Because of Malaysia’s humid climate, mould and weather have almost improved the original art, making them feel incredibly authentic.

What we liked about the trail – and Ipoh in general – is that unlike George Town, the murals are really easy to photograph. You won’t be standing in a queue since you won’t find hordes of tourists doing this trail, which is a nice change from most large cities and attractions.

Anyway, here’s a rundown of his different pieces to add to your Ipoh itinerary :

Old Uncle Drinking Coffee

If you did decide to get the physical map at the Ipoh Tourist Centre, this one is impossible to miss. Directly opposite the building is this large wall mural, which is incidentally the first stop on the Ipoh Mural Trail.

As we mentioned above, Ipoh is pretty famous for it’s ‘white coffee’, and since the original murals were commissioned by a coffee chain, its no surprise that a few of them are caffeine-themed.

Location: Jalan Tun Sambanthan

Paper Plane

Just around the corner is the pretty renowned Paper Plane mural. Other than coffee, you might know that Zacharevic often uses depictions of children and childhood in his pieces, and this one is no exception, showcasing two kids in a paper airplane. Similar to Old Uncle with Coffee Cup, this one is a pretty large mural and so easy to spot.

We didn’t really understand this one at first, until we took some time to research it when back at our hotel. Continuing the coffee theme, this massive piece is meant to show a very traditional part of Malaysian life: buying your coffee from a street hawker and receiving it in a little plastic bag with a straw, and tied with string.

Location: 73 Jalan Bandar Timah

Hummingbird

A stone’s throw from Kopi-O is the baby blue and green hummingbird piece, almost overshadowed by a large tree (which seems to be part of the fun). There isn’t much known about this one except that Ipoh is located in beautiful natural surroundings including amazing flora and fauna, like hummingbirds!

Location: 37 Jalan Panglima

Bonus: right opposite the hummingbird is a piece by a local artist, apparently called ‘Struggle’ with a whole lot of cars perched on top of the each other. We liked this one since it is literally in a car park, so interacts well with its surroundings.

Set on the side of the Ho Yan Hor museum, this large piece directly speaks to the tin mining history of the town. Using a different style that is almost reminiscent of a Chinese watercolour, this monochrome mural shows workers in the foreground and a tin dredge behind them.

Unfortunately, the mural is not in the best of states as the plaster is starting to fall off the wall.

Location: Jalan Bijeh Timah

Probably our favourite piece in Ipoh (and arguably his most famous), this is a great example of a mural interacting with its surroundings as a local man collecting garbage is juxtaposed with a real-life rickshaw (which, of course, I had to climb on to!).

Apparently the piece is also veiled reference to ‘street art being rubbish’, as many people still regard murals and street art as a lower form of artistic expression.

Location: Market Lane

Girl (now defunct)

Don’t be like us and spend an hour in search of this mural because, unfortunately, it no longer exists. At time of writing it was still prominently on the physical map given out by the Tourism Centre but was actually painted over by the owner of the building.

We were disappointed not to see it but, as Zacharevic himself said in this article , “the temporary nature of street art is a part of its charm.”

Bag of Coffee / Small Kopi-O

We’ll admit, we didn’t find this one. Its notoriously difficult to find so – we wish you luck! If you do find it, please do get in touch and let us know.

Also, if you’re looking for number ‘9’ on the physical map giving to you by the Tourist Centre, that’s technically the New Town mural lane – read on for more info on that below.

Old Town – Other works:

Part of the charm of sauntering the lanes of Ipoh is street art hunting! Yes, it’s great to see those original works from 2014 but the city has so much more to offer than that collection.

We really enjoyed just walking around and trying to spot some other pieces that were ‘not on the map’. Our suggestion? Keep your eyes peeled!

Here are a few of our favourites. Beware – these are not official names but just what we have decided to nickname each piece!

We have a feeling this one was commissioned by Uber, which is prominently portrayed in the piece (albeit that Uber has been subsequently replaced by other ride-hailing app, Grab, in Malaysia).

A cool piece that interacts with the environment, this has a permanent motorcycle fixture which you can perch yourself on for that perfect Instagram shot.

The Booth Cart Stairs and Swing

Just underneath the Ipoh Booth Cart is this great stairs and swing installation. Of course I posed on the swing but could have just as easily done a weird stair walking shot.

Location: 11A Jalan Bijeh Timah

Eating dinner on Market Lane

If you head down Market Lane (two streets over from Concubine Lane), there are a few great pieces. Our favourite was this one of a waiter serving two women, which also had a seat in front of it – a great interactive piece again!

Concubine Lane

It’s one of the most popular streets in Ipoh (although, to be honest, we are not sure why) and Concubine Street Ipoh doesn’t just have souvenoirs and crafts on offer, but a smattering of street art pieces.

The bigger one is this one, a couple pictured drinking coffee.

Location: Concubine Lane

Marilyn around every corner

Around the corner from very cool hipster café, Plan B, is this alleyway piece. Essentially it looks like a traditional door but, when you swing it open, you see a very coy Marilyn Monroe, complete with billowing skirt.

Location: Behind Plan B, 75 Jalan Panglima

New Town – Mural Arts Lane:

The New Town of Ipoh also has its fair share of wall art, a fair portion of which were painted by a local art teacter, Eric Lai, inspired by Zacharevic himself.

The best place to head is the Ipoh Mural Art Lane, an alley nestled between Jalan Sultan Iskandar and Jalan Masjid, where you’ll be blown away by the sheer number of installations and pieces available to you.

Honestly, its difficult to take just a few photos and we almost filled our camera’s SD card. Here are a few of our favourites:

This gorgeous piece of an ‘origami bear’, one of the first pieces as you start the Mural Lane

This image depicts two Malaysian sports personalities, Lee Chong Wei and Nicol David

Can you guess this game? It’s called Eagle Catch Chicken

This ‘zoo’ scene got us smiling, just because the ape looked pretty cute and the little cat jumping off the roof reminded us of our own at home…

It was a little different but we enjoyed the use of real life windows to create this city scape.

Another slightly unique style compared to other pieces we had seen – Dragonman was a prominent piece on the Mural Lane.

Getting around Ipoh

Let’s be honest, most of the street art you’ll want to see in Ipoh is in the Old Town and is entirely walkable. Actually, it should be walked. That said, if you’re wanting to check out some of the fresher art in Ipoh New Town, there are a few ways to do it

Taxi / Grab

If you’re not situated near the Old Town, we suggest you get yourself a taxi out there. Malaysia, like most of South East Asia, uses Grab as its main ride-hailing app so make sure you download it and use that to get a ride.

To be honest, we don’t recommend driving yourself around Ipoh. While the streets aren’t difficult to navigate, there is a real lack of parking! Hence that artwork called ‘Struggle’ that we referenced above ?

Sightseeing Bus

We didn’t visit Ipoh on a weekend but apparently the city operates a tourist bus on the weekends (Saturday and Sunday) called the Perak Hop-on Hop-off bus. A 1 day pass is 35 MYR (8.50 USD / 6.50 GBP) and the bus operates from 8.30am until 9.30pm, covering 12 stops from Terminal Meru to Ipoh Old Town and New Town to Gopeng and Batu Gajah. Find the latest details and prices on their website .

Getting to Ipoh

Luckily Ipoh is smack bang in the middle between George Town in Penang and Kuala Lumpur, so is in easy reach of both major cities.

Your options include:

Self-drive: Conveniently situated on the AH2 highway, Ipoh is three hours from Kuala Lumpur and two hours from George Town.

Train : There are quite a few direct trains each day connecting Ipoh to Kuala Lumpur and George Town, which the journey taking 2 hours 30 minutes. Check out the timetables on the official KTM website.

Bus: There are a number of great bus options connecting you to Ipoh taking about three hours. We used a local operator, Sri Maju, many times in Malaysia and while the busses aren’t luxurious they are clean, comfortable and quick (while safe). We booked our tickets on 12go.asia and it all worked perfectly – check out the latest prices here .

Where to stay in Ipoh

Budget: We stayed at the Brownstone Hostel which, although its slightly further out of town (15 minutes walk from the Old Town), is a great, modern hostel. It has a lovely courtyard, nice hot showers and the private room we got was lovely and large.

Mid-range : It might be slightly out of the city but you’ll get phenomenal value from The Tudor Hotel . This exceptional property has gorgeous furnishings, well-appointed rooms and a top notch breakfast, all at pocket-friendly prices.

Luxury : Probably the best hotel in Ipoh town is The Haven Resort . This incredible resort is nestled within limestone mountains and beautiful scenery with gorgeous rooms and even a 5 level swimming pool!

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a tour guide for the street art in Ipoh?

Definitely not. If you follow our map (or the physical one from the Tourist Centre), or just follow your nose in the old town, you’ll be bombarded with incredible street art.

What are other things to do in Ipoh?

Actually, more than you would think! You need to drink traditional Ipoh white coffee, do a self-guided tour of the fragrant hawker food stalls, traipse the Ipoh Heritage trail to see the colonial buildings. But our favourite Ipoh Attraction? Probably the cave temples dotted around the city. You can also head about 20 minutes out of town to see the renowned Kellie’s Castle .

What should I pack for my Ipoh street art tour?

• Even though it’s very manageable in terms of distance when walking the Old Town, Ipoh is hot most days of the year. Pack water to keep hydrated
• Similarly, don’t forget the sun protection! You don’t want to get sunburnt on your walk.
• It goes without saying but you’ll be wanting to take a lot of cheesy photographs next to the various installations. Make sure your camera or cameraphone is fully charged and at the ready!
• Sturdy shoes. Now this one is up to you. We did the walk in flip flops but we are intrepid travellers used to wearing slip slops while walking around. So perhaps sneakers are a better choice…

So, that’s it! Congratulations on making it to the end of this article and we hope we’ve satiated your appetite for street art with this epic street art in Ipoh guide. Have we missed anything?

Ipoh Street Art

Seeing the success that Penang (George Town) had in her collaboration with the talented Lithuanian artist, Ernest Zacharevic, Ipoh followed suit. The city’s tourism board, with OldTown White Coffee* as sponsor, worked with Ernest Zacharevic on a series of mural in its old town. This, in turn, prompts other local artists to independently start work on various street art in the area. Resulting in the flourishing street art scene in present-day Ipoh.

If you’ll like to see the behind-the-scenes video of the production process for Ernest Zacharevic’s Ipoh street art, click here .

*OldTown White Coffee is one of the leading restaurant chains in Malaysia. The company was founded in Ipoh, the place where white coffee originated. OldTown made a name for itself by being the first manufacturer to introduce 3-in-1 instant white coffee.

Ipoh Street Art that we’ve visited (images)

Below are the images of the Ipoh street art that we’ve visited. ( For higher resolution of the images in this post, refer to our Facebook Page )

Interesting fact: As part of the campaign with OldTown White Coffee, Ernest Zacharevic had originally painted 7 murals in Ipoh old town. The 7th mural was named “Girl with Stool”. However, this mural was painted over in late-2017. Till this day (Dec-2019), the various bronze nameplates (found at each of the surviving murals) still record the presence and original location of the “Girl with Stool” mural. 

Old Uncle with Coffee Cup (Artist: Ernest Zacharevic, Mural#1)

This mural is located at the end of a row of shophouses right in the historical centre of Ipoh old town. It depicts an elderly Chinese man enjoying his cup of (presuming) white coffee, which originates from Ipoh.

Given that OldTown White Coffee is the sponsor of this series of street art, it is unsurprising for the theme of this mural and that a branch of the restaurant chain is housed within this row of shophouses.

Paper Plane (Artist: Ernest Zacharevic, Mural#2)

This mural is painted around 4-5 stories high along the side of a building in the adjacent street to the “Old Uncle with Coffee Cup” (above). It depicts two young boys exploring the surroundings on the back of a giant paper plane. Surely the dream of many young kids.

Kopi-O (Artist: Ernest Zacharevic, Mural#3)

The murals “Kopi-O” and “Hummingbird” (see below) are located at the opposite ends of a huge make-shift carpark (fees payable) at the edge of the old town near to Kinta River.

“Kopi” is the Malay word for coffee, while “O” is the Hokkien (a Chinese dialect) word for black. Thus, “Kopi-O” literally means black coffee. As opposed to “Kopi” which refers to coffee with condensed milk.

This mural shows the traditional way of drinking take-away coffee from a straw and plastic bag (tied with a nylon string at one of the top ends). It shows the plastic bag emptying (from left to right) as someone is enjoying the fragrant brew.

Hummingbird (Artist: Ernest Zacharevic, Mural#4)

The murals “Kopi-O” (above) and “Hummingbird” are located at the opposite ends of a huge make-shift carpark at the edge of the old town. This mural depicts a giant hummingbird coming back to a real tree.

Evolution (Artist: Ernest Zacharevic, Mural#5)

The “Evolution” mural is located a short walk from the “Hummingbird”. It pays tribute to Ipoh’s heydays of tin mining.

Prior to the discovery of tin in the area, Ipoh was a village. After tin deposits were found, Ipoh swiftly grew into a major town. Unfortunately, the depletion of its tin deposits coupled with a reduction in the raw material’s price led to the eventual decline of the town for the next few decades.

Trishaw (Artist: Ernest Zacharevic, Mural#6)

The “Trishaw” mural depicts a middle-aged Chinese man collecting used cardboards and discarded materials for recycling. Scenes like this are not uncommon in towns/cities around the region even till this day. Those in the trade typically collect the items from various sources around the area to be sold (by weight) to the local recycling plants. A truly backbreaking and thankless trade to engage in. And a testimony to the grit and hardworking nature of the locals.

Below are the street art done by other local artist in Ipoh Old Town.

Ipoh Mural Art Trail Ipoh's Thriving Street Art Scene

Ipoh Mural Art Trail is a map produced by Ipoh Tourist Information Centre showing the locations of some of Ipoh's famous street art. 

Here is the map. Sorry it looks a bit rumpled! I was carrying it in my pocket all day. You can probably obtain your own copy from the Tourist Office or the Ipoh branch of Oldtown White Coffee.

Following on from the success of street art in Penang, Melaka and elsewhere in Malaysia, the city of Ipoh commissioned talented Lithuanian artist, Ernest Zacharevic to produce a series of murals with sponsorship from Oldtown White Coffee. His art has transformed scruffy shophouse walls into works of art, some of  which use props to give a 3D effect. His work is of a transient nature (like famous British artist Banksy) and the damp mould stains on the walls caused by Malaysia's humid climate will eventually efface his work so go and see it while you can! 

He created 8 Murals in Ipoh, one of which (Girl) has since been painted over:

• A Paper Plane 
• An Old Uncle Drinking Coffee 
• A Yellow Hummingbird 
• A 'Kopi' Break 
• A Bag Of Coffee 
• Girl On A Wall In Bandar Timah  
• Old Town Relives Nostalgia With Trishaw 
• Tin Mining Town With Chinese-Style Painting 

The map gives GPS coordinates but when I tried finding the coordinates on Google Maps they did not seem so accurate. At least the map gives you a general idea of the murals' location and you can have fun searching for them.

Zacharevic's murals are not the only ones in town and indeed a thriving street art scene has sprung up in recent years.

Mural Arts Lane is a narrow street running between Jalan Sultan Iskandar and Jalan Masjid and its drab walls have been brightened up with dozens of cheerful murals portraying scenes from Malaysian culture, some of them painted by art teacher Eric Lai.  I think it is great the way that doors, windows, even vegetation have been incorporated into the murals. Mural Arts Lane is marked number 9 on the map.

Here is a short video of Mural Arts Lane.

You'll be able to see lots of other examples of street art walking around the older parts of town.

Business are using murals too to promote their services:

If it's raining you can still see murals indoors at Wisma Chye Hin on Jalan Sultan Idris, Ipoh.

Ipoh is not the only town in Perak with murals. Even Beruas has one:

And so does Parit:
