    Ipoh developed into one of Malaysia's main cities due to an early 19th century tin mining boom. During the British colonial era, it was Malaya's second administrative centre after [wiki=dc5df51ea7e4a83d5663ca4ced03a1aa]Kuala Lumpur[/wiki] (the Straits Settlements of [wiki=458e4cbc78201c1aec5fc53a31c59378]Singapore[/wiki], [wiki=470cd95e392ad2cca999777aa6b95949]Penang[/wiki] and [wiki=f5aef75f0075ce430fd640e5917ccbd1]Malacca[/wiki] were administered separately).

    A post-independence economic decline let the city escape the towers of concrete that represent 1970s ideas of progress and its colonial importance still shines in the grand old buildings, such as the railway station and the town hall, which complement the rows of shophouses.

    These days Ipoh is perhaps best known for its excellent restaurants, hawkers, and famous local dishes.

    Streets were renamed in the 1980s. This can still be confusing as many locals still refer to the former colonial road names. The following list showing the old and new names is useful: [wiki=366b7f814053f81a975d91858c8ab949]Ipoh road names - old and new[/wiki]

    • By plane

      Ipoh is served by the Sultan Azlan Shah Airport . Firefly [url=http://fireflyz.com.my],]Tigerair [url=http://www.tigerair.com[/url]]and Malindo Air [url=http://www.malindoair.com[/url]]operate flights to and from Terminal 2 of [[Singapore#Get In|Singapore Changi Airport[/url]]. Malindo and Firefly also operate flights to and from the Senai International Airport, Johor Bahru. Malindo also operates flights to the Subang Airport in and Medan, Indonesia.

      Prepaid taxi is available at Ipoh airport. You can take prepaid taxi to the city (e.g. to Eloft hostel at Jalan sultan Islander) for MYR 25 (October. 2015). The prepaid taxi driver may not know the exact location of the place you want to go in the city. There is no Mobile phone shop at the Ipoh airport so one cannot buy the SIM at airport. So you can’t rely on you mobile phone’s GPS to tell you direction to reach your hostel in the city from airport. So it’s better to carry a map and full address of the hostel when you hire the prepaid taxi at Ipoh airport.
      While returning from city to airport, you can find taxi virtually at any bus stop in the city and it would cost you to the airport for MYR 20, or less, if you bargain.

    • By bus

      The old Medang Gopeng Bus Terminal has closed and all intercity buses now use Terminal Amanjaya in Jelapang, about 16km north of the city centre. Bus number 116 costs 2.40RM and leaves about every 30m to the city centre from the arrivals hall upstairs. It stops at the local bus station, the train station and then goes as far as the Greentown Clinic before turning round at the roundabout and heading back. It takes about 20m. A taxi from the bus station to the city centre costs 20-30RM. The most frequent routes are to and from [wiki=dc5df51ea7e4a83d5663ca4ced03a1aa]Kuala Lumpur[/wiki] (Puduraya Station), [wiki=d27b3405c3452e200d635c1f03f417bc]Kuala Lumpur International Airport[/wiki], [wiki=458e4cbc78201c1aec5fc53a31c59378]Singapore[/wiki] and [wiki=470cd95e392ad2cca999777aa6b95949]Penang[/wiki].

      Some bus companies also operate from more convenient locations in the town: mainly Jalan Bendahara where buses are available to and from [wiki=dc5df51ea7e4a83d5663ca4ced03a1aa]Kuala Lumpur[/wiki], [wiki=458e4cbc78201c1aec5fc53a31c59378]Singapore[/wiki], and [wiki=470cd95e392ad2cca999777aa6b95949]Penang[/wiki] and Jalan Bercham where destinations include Singapore and the Kuala Lumpur International Airport.

  • filter_dramaGet around
    • By car

      The city centre grid layout contains mainly one-way streets. Road maps are available in bookstores, tourist centres and online. Traffic is not as heavy as in other cities such as Kuala Lumpur but the rush hours are usually congested. There is adequate parking but finding a space may require some patience and you have to pay using coupons. Car rentals are available.

    • By bus

      Local buses run around the city and its suburbs and have hub called Ipoh Bus Terminal, Jalan Raja Bendahara (or also bas stesen), which is actually on Jalan Tun Abdul Razak in the old town (follow the road south from the railway station and past the post office, the bus station is on the right of the first big junction). This is not to be confused with Jalan Bendahara which is in the new town and has long distance services by some bus companies.

      Local bus information is not well published but there is an helpful information desk at the bus station. Visitors may find this bus station useful for its services to the [wiki=0fd3ae282ebc889469642ab0bb9d4703]Cameron Highlands[/wiki], [wiki=b8023c0408ed77fa9ef2a0552b5bad1d]Taiping[/wiki]. Useful to look out for is local bus number 94, which heads from the bas stesen through the old and new towns to the Sam Poh Tong Cave Temples. It calls at the following bus stops in the new town: Tingat Pasar, on the south side of Pasar Besar; at the junction of Jalan Raja Musa Aziz and Jalan Theatre; and on Jalan CM Yusuf, near the Grand Park Hotel and Sri Maju Bus Terminal.

    • On foot

      Most roads have pavements and marked crossings, which makes strolling around the old streets a pleasant experience.

    • By bicycle

      There are no hard and fast rules for cyclists, but you are expected to observe road rules at all times. Cyclists are forbidden from riding on the sidewalk but often do. Helmets are optional and not common.

    • By taxi

      Prices are by negotiation. It is possible to take the taxi all the way up to Pengkelan Hulu (near the Thailand border, ~RM170 one way, ~RM300 return). Ride within the city should cost around RM5 to RM10

  • filter_dramaTalk
    Like in the rest of Malaysia, [wiki=a262b428a9f612e74fe5033d3f1b49f3]Malay[/wiki] is the lingua franca, However, most of the ethnic Chinese, who form the majority in Ipoh, speak [wiki=0a3f761ba7c50be32bd05b2934f97f03]Cantonese[/wiki] as their first language, and many are also able to speak [wiki=56ec9849ff5b9d83053da13b684059cf]Mandarin[/wiki]. Most of the Indians speak [wiki=034fe2269113249d656c500902fa8e18]Tamil[/wiki] as their first language. While English is not as widespread as in Kuala Lumpur or Penang, tourists should still not have any major problems getting by with English.

    • Around Ipoh

      Kellie's Castle, the deserted mansion of an eccentric Scottish planter, is in Batu Gajah, half an hour's drive from Ipoh city center. Its main appeal lies in the belief that it is haunted and that secret passages leading to hidden chambers exist. A taxi will cost you around RM 50 - 60 and they will usually wait for an hour (which is long enough to look around). There is a small entrance fee to the castle.

  • filter_dramaDo
    White Water Rafting Get up close and personal with nature, experience an exotic and mystifying rainforest where the fastest butterflies swarm by the riverbank while you enjoy swimming in the river or jump from trees or just glide down the river on a raft.

    * Caving. Gua Tempurung is the largest limestone cave in Peninsular Malaysia. Located close to the North South Highway's Gopeng Exit, it provides the opportunity to explore in detail the insides of a limestone cave. You can choose to experience a short tour of the cave or adventure into the far end of the cave by walking off the walkways and in the cave river.

    *Explore Tambun, once a small town north of the city, with city growth it is now a close suburb to the city centre. Tambun has been traditionally known for its juicy pomelo fruit and the Tambun Hot Springs,(now accessible through The Lost World of Tambun Hot Springs and Spa or at The Banjaran Resort). Also in Tambun, is Ipoh's only water theme park, The Lost World of Tambun. It provides great rides and entertainment for families and also organizes tours into the nearby limestone caves for those interested in eco-tourism. It recently opened a Petting Zoo that allows children the opportunity to feed and pet a variety of animals. A taxi from the city centre will cost you RM 15 one way.

    * Jungle Trekking - Trek one of the many trails up the Menglembu-Kledang Hills (these are the hills you can see to the west of Ipoh with the radio-tv masts on the top) to enjoy the awe-inspiring view of the limestone outcrops that surround Ipoh. If unsure of how to get to these trails, just ask the many locals who trek there daily in the early mornings and evenings. If you have a GPS, hikes can either start from 101° 1.813'E/4° 34.577'N or 101° 1.638'E/ 4° 34.312'N where the paved road to the summit begins. The road and some trails are open and hot (take a hat and water) but much of Trail 4.9 is through shady forest and takes about 1 hour from the car park to its highest point (about half way to the summit). You can then return to your car via the road and turning left down a few hundred steps at the Meteorology Station to get back to 1.813'E/4° 34.577'N. For a much more strenuous hike there is a trail (signed to RTM) off to the right about 30 minutes along 4.9 at approximately 101° 1'24.84"E/4°35'2.11"N. This less used trail immediately crosses a small stream and then climbs through the forest to the summit. This is a steep, strenuous climb (not suited for very young children) that takes 2 to 2.5 hours for an elevation gain of about 600m over ~3.5km. Along the road and trails there are interesting plants (Bamboo orchids and insect trapping pitcher plants (Nepenthes sp)) and wildlife that includes long-tailed macaques, pig-tailed macaques, leaf monkeys and the siamang - the last being a large species of gibbon that is often heard calling in the morning but seldom seen.

    * Explore Ulu Geroh, Be an ecotourist and experience the rainforest here (GPS 101° 15.200'E/ 4° 26.420'N). This Orang Asli kampung is about one hour's drive into the hills east of Gopeng. The last half of the ride is along a narrow but paved road through rubber, durian and oil palm plantations to the village on the edge of the rainforest. Guides from the Orang Asli community take visitors to see the parasitic Rafflesia flower (the largest flower in the world) and the Raja Brooke's Birdwing butterfly as well as other forest bugs, plants, etc. There's also a small but beautiful waterfall. Apart from Rafflesia watching, jungle hiking, caving and white water rafting can be organized. Basic accommodation is available at Ulu Geroh itself or in a rural setting at three nearby eco-resorts:
    :*My Gopeng Resort [http://www.mygopengresort.com]
    :*Rumah Rehat Adeline [http://www.adelinesresthouse.com]
    :*Gopeng Rainforest Resort [http://www.gopengrainforest.com].

    *Golf at the many golf courses around the city. The Perak Royal Golf Club is the oldest of the golf courses located close to the city centre but there are also great golf courses at Clearwater Sanctuary in Batu Gajah and Meru Valley in Jelapang. Both Clearwater Sanctuary and Meru Valley provide accommodation that make a golfing holiday all the more convenient.

    Ipoh is inexpensive by Malaysian standards. Most tourists will better appreciate the offerings of [wiki=7e9293e90055a83d4943872232ff638f]KL[/wiki] or [wiki=3d147c6ba113929f5a004a5e9dcc832e]Bangkok[/wiki] but Ipoh offers some interesting specialties including, Ipoh Fragrant Biscuits “香饼” - traditional flaky biscuits containing a sweet paste.

    Ipoh does not have a large night scene; however, there is a large concentration of pubs and bars at Bandar Baru Medan (behind the Kinta City Shopping Center) and at the Greentown Business Centre.. Rum Jungle at Sunway Ipoh is another new night spot with live band performances that could be checked out.

    Ipoh white coffee was invented here: to reduce the bitterness of coffee roasted in the European style without adding sugar (as during the roasting of Kopi-O), beans are roasted with palm-oil margarine, the result is a mild tasting kiddies' version of what westerners would call real coffee. A few genuine Chinese coffee shops that sell Ipoh white coffee are located opposite the Kinta Heights flats in the old town.

    *Mock Tudor pub complete with wonky stained wooden beams and correctly placed apostrophe. The convivial clientele is entirely ethnic Chinese but the inevitable karaoke is kept at a civilized volume.

    Ipoh is in general a very safe city, certainly by international standards. However, there are some irritants like beggars, especially at bus terminals. It is better not to attract any unwanted attention by giving money to the beggars as most of them are professional beggars operated by syndicates. A common tactic they use is to garner sympathy for taxi fare or food, which amounts to 10 ringgit which isn't true. Do not be swayed if they can speak English as most of them can.

    When shopping at local stalls and stores, be ready to haggle. Even if prices are listed, very often, haggling will get you a much better deal.

    The city centre is relatively safe, but again, pickpockets do work in the stations. If you are carrying a bag make sure that it's secured (all zipped up). If you have a wallet in your pocket keep a hand near it while exiting the buses. It is not advisable to leave your handbag dangling on your shoulder while walking next to main roads, as motorcycle snatch thefts do happen.
