3 days in Ipoh Itinerary

The city of Ipoh, fourth-largest in Malaysia and historically a mining town, has recently seen a complete reinvention and resurgence as a burgeoning tourism destination, thanks in part to its significant heritage.

Step out of Ipoh with an excursion to Gua Tempurung in Gopeng--about 34 minutes away. Pack the 30th (Sat) with family-friendly diversions at Lost World Of Tambun. There's still lots to do: take an in-depth tour of Ipoh World at Han Chin Pet Soo, see the interesting displays at Ho Yan Hor Museum, get to know the fascinating history of Concubine Lane, and take in the spiritual surroundings of Guan Yin Temple.
