There are many limestone hills in the central part of the state (such as between Ipoh and Chemor to the north, and Ipoh to Gopeng in the south), and most of them contain caves. Many of these hills have Chinese temples (called tong) or Hindu temples, many are built into the caves. Drive through the state and look at this beautiful scenery, and visit one or more of the caves. If you're staying in Ipoh, you can take a medium-distance bus to a cave.
If you have occasion to travel to the east coast from Perak, make sure to take the East-West Highway from Grik to Tanah Merah, Kelantan. The scenery of mountains topped by virgin jungle is gorgeous. On the way it would be well worth a stop in the Belum-Temenggor Forrest Reserve (Tasik Temenggor) the lake is beautiful and surrounded by rainforest, there is also the option to spend a few nights deep in the jungle.

Most people would choose to hang out at the beaches like in Lumut, visit the Menara Condong in Teluk Intan or just go to the museums, or even go visit the guas. Notable places to 'lepak' would be IPOH PARADE on Friday afternoons and AEON during the weekends.
What is cool about Ipoh is that the clubs keep increasing and keep making it more of a place of entertainment. It is almost like a replica of Kuala Lumpur but more culture.

there's another place famous for its fresh seafood, in Tanjung Tualang, an hour drive from Ipoh town. Fresh water prawns are a speciality, the price is reasonable. And a must try drink is ice blended Sarsi with wheatgrass! It goes very well with seafood during a sunny day especially. Another local drink is ais lengkong kuning which is a mix of yellow jelly, lime, sugar and water.
Another famous food would be 'kai shi hor fun', which is located in Old Town, Ipoh. Has been through many generations of that family.
If you're looking for amazing seafood dishes, you should probably drive to Sitiawan for fresh seafood.
If you're looking for amazing and classy Chinese food, there is restaurant called Restaurant Overseas. It is pretty costly but it is worth it. The best investment for your tummy and your satisfaction.
