    Our family was absolutely delighted with the visit and guided tour. Leong (the guide) was knowledgeable, humourous and overall outstanding. The kids loved the visit.

    Stayed 2 nights. The park was clean and well maintained. Animals were interesting and well kept. Enjoyed the night flame show and tiger feeding. Wheelchair accessible. Friendly staff. Fun rides and ghost house. Environment and background settings were cool and good. No outside foods were allowed.

    The flip side was the single entry to the park even if you are staying at qLWOT Hotel.

    Greeted by the museum ambassador for a free tour outside the museum as we passed by.
    The journey of Ho Yan Hor was neatly arranged and easy for understanding.
    Most importantly, grounded and inspiring!
    We bought the tea back and it helps so much especially so during such hot weather. And continued to purchase more teas from their official website at Shopee msia.
    Would be awesome if all flavours are sold in Singapore as well.
    Anyway, would recommend to anyone coming to Ipoh!

    Perak Cave Temple is located around 15 minutes ride from downtown Ipoh. The natural cave is the temple itself with statues and wall paintings of Buddha and Bodhisattvas. Therefore, the temple earns the name of "Dunhuang in the South". Following the passage of the cave, it will lead you to the apex of the hill where you can enjoy the views around. A peaceful and culture-rich religious site to visit. Recommend it.

    This is one of my favourite places to visit. The steps lead you up.imto the xave with a variety of deities around you. The stalactites and stalagmites are impressive. Walking through to the cave area is peaceful, and you emerge from the caves into the eell kept gardens. There are several places where you can sit in the shade and admire the surroundings. I have been coming here since 1999 and will continue to do so.

    Interesting place, sorry it is run down and not well maintained. This can be a good tourist hangout if it is maintained and developed

    A quirky little stumble! Ipoh is one of those places that might not crop up on the SE-Asia worldly-traveler places to visit, but it definitely has a few places that make for a neat stop for a few hours. Concubine Lane is one of those such places. It is fairly busy, but the hustle and bustle seem to give it a bit of charm that make weaving in and out of various stores, offering souvenirs, some tasty treats and a variety of experiences, a pleasant way to spend half an hour or so. If you had a limited time in the area, or were looking for the best things to do in Malaysia, you wouldn't really venture to Ipoh and so you wouldn't make it to Concubine Lane, but if you live within a few hours and want to see somewhere a bit different that is similar to Georgetown, Penang, but with much less tourists, then it's worth a stop.

    We spent a couple of hours in Ipoh in between Penang and The Cameron Highlands. Concubine Lane added to the experience, but we are unlikely to venture this way a second time.

    If you're looking for a unique photo opportunity, I highly recommend checking out the 3D house at Funtasy House Trick Art. Not only is it a great way to capture an incredible memory, but the staff there are also some of the friendliest people I've ever met.

    Qing Xin Ling Leisure & Cultural Village has picturesque lake side and cliff views, old styled Malay, Chinese and Indian houses as well as double-bicycles with back seats (each vehicle can carry 4 adults plus a child) to save visitors from having to walk around the site. See 18 photos attached.

    Building is beautiful. The station is small, clean and has basic facilities. Will be better if the Majestic Walk is repaired. There are lockers available.

    We were told it is one of the oldest cave temples here so we had to come take a look. Note that they close quite early at 230pm.

    Beautiful temple but the locals told us it has not been well-maintained. Much overgrown vegetation and dim at some point, but it still has its charm here.

    Grab a bowl of chopped tomatoes to feed the tortoises at the other outlet of the cave temple. We spent /497'd 30-45 minutes here. Best to see other caves in the area to make your trip worthwhile.

    Mainly within Old Town area and a reasonable walking distance from our hotel. Leading from the Mural Arts Lane to the main Old Town center where the Concubine Lane is and the surrounding areas.

    Not many that you can pose with (unlike those in Penang) but many to admire and take photos of, especially those depicting the life at that area. Similarly, a pity some are not well maintained and have been defaced or faded.

    I have been in Taman Rekreasi Gunung Lang 3 weeks ago. It was nice place to relax and view nice panaroma. It was Public Holiday and a lot of people came with the same reason, it was long queue to get the boat from jetty to island.Over all ok
