Train Station
Ipoh

Completed in 1917 this is Ipoh's most recognisable landmark and a favourite spot for photographers (and selfie...
Perak Tong
Ipoh
　　Developed in 1926 by Chinese Buddhists Chong Sen Yee and his wife, this temple (7km north of Ipoh) is popular for its mesmerising murals and panoramic views. The first staircase leads to a majestic seated Buddha (12m tall) in the main chamber. Some of the surrounding murals were painted as...
Kek Look Tong
Ipoh

Sam Poh Tong
Ipoh
　　First discovered by a monk in 1890, this cavern, 5km south of Ipoh, is now a riot of religious statuary and pagoda tiles. The entrance pavilion is grand enough (check out the ornamental garden with ceramic lions, miniature shrines and Buddha statues) but continue through the main chamber and you'll...
Muzium Darul Ridzuan
Ipoh
　　North of the padang (field), this museum is housed in a 1926 villa built for a wealthy Chinese tin miner. The museum features displays on the history of tin mining (downstairs) and forestry (upstairs) in Perak. Most intriguing are the WWII-era bunkers behind the building. The museum is affected by...
