Today, I will take you on a walking tour of Ipoh, Malaysia. Our goal for today is to explore the tourist attractions in the city of Ipoh. Some tourists may not be familiar with the name of this city, but let me tell you, this city has a lot of charm. Hehe. Simply put, it's beautifully captivating. The buildings have colonial architecture, which was influenced by the West. Without further ado, let's see if there are any attractions worth visiting, as I said.

Before I begin, I would like to mention that I arrived in Ipoh after taking the high-speed train from Penang, Malaysia. This is the first photo I took upon arrival.

The Ipoh Railway Station is a beautiful, large, and white building.

After spending some time here, we opened the map and started walking (I think we just kept walking to the right) to the bus depot (Medan Kidd) to buy tickets to our accommodation.

It won't take long to get there. This garage has many routes. If you want to go somewhere, ask around. (You can communicate in English.)

We boarded this bus, and the driver took excellent care of us, ensuring we didn't miss our stop. We simply informed him of our destination, and he notified us when we arrived. (The bus resembles a typical bus in our country.)

After a long bus ride, we arrived at our accommodation, the Eight Inn Hotel. We stayed there for two nights. On the first night, we were too tired to explore, so we only had time to visit the large AEON shopping mall. It was a great place to shop, but I didn't buy anything myself. I let the ladies do the shopping. If you're looking for a place to eat, I recommend the fast food restaurants in the mall. The food was delicious, and we ate there twice.

The name clearly indicates.....

One night passed... Good night.

Before I forget, there were some headaches before we could sleep. What were they?

1. The tourist destinations for the next day are not accessible by public transportation.

2. We need to rent a car. Where can we find one?

3. Taking a taxi to travel is too expensive to afford.

4. Taxi: The law stipulates a maximum of 4 passengers (we have 5 people).

The group decided to sleep on it and then rent a car in the city center the next morning.

Zzzzzzz...555

The next day, I decided to take a bus to the city center to find a car rental place. I had already looked up some options online and planned my route using a map.

On the second day, we opted to rent a car for the entire day, with the responsibility of fueling it ourselves. The rental car was rather old, but it served us well in reaching our destination (the air conditioning was cool, and the music was pleasant, even though we couldn't understand the lyrics). It's worth noting that our domestic driver's licenses were valid for use in Malaysia.

Our first stop (free admission) is located inside. You can drive in and park.

The temple is located in a small alley, not too deep. Be careful not to miss it!

Let's just take in the atmosphere for now.

These are our members who will be joining us on this journey.

This point allows you to walk through from the previous temple. As you walk inside, you will find a cave in the mountain that you can see behind. You can walk in to pay respects to the sacred objects and explore at your leisure.

Our journey continues to another temple.

Our next stop is (apologies, I can't recall the name at the moment), but it's not far from the first temple. It's also quite beautiful.

A beautiful stone art installation in the middle of the water.

Strolling around in search of photogenic spots, I came across numerous picturesque locations.

After exploring and admiring the previous temples to our satisfaction, we continued our journey to the final temple. However, let me tell you, this last temple is even more impressive than you might imagine!

This is our final temple, Sam Poh Tong (Cave Temple). Its unique feature is the temple and religious objects located inside the cave, such as the Goddess of Mercy, the Laughing Buddha, and various other figures of Chinese信仰.

This temple is divided into two sections: the cave entrance and the cave's end. What you see here is the cave entrance, which serves as the temple's worship area.

As you venture deeper into the cave, a breathtaking sight awaits at the end. A magnificent pagoda, adorned with lush greenery, emerges from behind, hidden from view for those who do not venture further.

The place is truly as beautiful as everyone says. (But be aware of the mosquitoes, there are quite a few.) If you don't stop by here, it would be a shame. If you have the chance, you shouldn't miss it.

After reading reviews for a long time, all I see are temples, temples, and more temples. Is Ipoh just full of temples? ... No, there's more to it than that. Keep exploring and you'll find other interesting places to visit. ;)

Departing from the temple, this time we had to drive in Malaysia, including driving on the Malaysian expressway. We were a little nervous, but it was fun.

Our next destination is a cave walk, specifically the Gua Tempurung. (Entrance fees apply and vary depending on the chosen walking distance.)

To explore the cave, you must purchase a tour as there are multiple sections with varying walking times. Our group opted for a 1 hour and 45-minute tour.

The cave has well-maintained paths for walking.

Immensely great

Exquisitely beautiful.

Stalagmites and stalactites still exist.

Photography enthusiasts are advised to invest in a tripod for enhanced stability and versatility.

Strolling along, admiring the beauty.

This sign is located at the entrance from the main road. I didn't notice it when I entered, so I took a picture on my way out.

This cave is quite large and impressive. It is truly beautiful and worth the time spent exploring it.

Continue your journey to the final destination. If you don't go, you might as well say you haven't been to Ipoh.

A must-see highlight is Kelly's Castle, also known as the haunted castle of Ipoh.

The entrance fee is required. The ticket booth is located before the entrance.

Cross the bridge to enter the castle.

The place was not crowded, so I took a picture before entering the castle. (But why wasn't I in it? As a photographer, I guess I won't have pictures like this. TT)

The haunted castle is not a haunted house in an amusement park, but a castle that was once built by a nobleman. It is rumored that the spirits of the nobleman and his family are regularly seen at night.

The interior boasts numerous rooms.

The construction is incomplete, and various rooms contain explanatory signs detailing the history and background of the site, including paranormal phenomena and locations where mysterious sightings have frequently occurred.

Behind the castle

Side of the castle

There are some spots where you can enjoy a panoramic view (but it's quite a wide view, so you need to be a little adventurous). See the roof on top of the castle? You can actually climb up there.

This one is located behind the first large castle.

There is a decent amount of walking space available.

The space between these castles is truly magnificent.

Feel free to find your perfect angle for taking photos.
