Is a holiday rental in Ipoh worth it?

Ipoh is Malaysia's emerging food capital and a charming colonial town amidst dramatic limestone cliffs. The capital of the state of Perak — once rich from tin mines — is experiencing a renaissance as a destination for foodies, street art enthusiasts, and cave adventurers.

The Old Town showcases magnificent colonial architecture: the Railway Station Building — often referred to as the 'Taj Mahal of Ipoh' — is a Moroccan-Victorian palace made of white marble. Concubine Lane and the surrounding alleys offer a growing street art scene with murals and vintage cafés.

The limestone caves around Ipoh are spectacular: the Sam Poh Tong Temple is a Buddhist cave temple with a garden, and the Kek Lok Tong cave houses a temple with a Zen garden behind it and views of limestone cliffs. Gua Tempurung is one of the longest caves in Southeast Asia with a 4-hour adventure tour.

Ipoh is famous for its hawker cuisine: Ipoh White Coffee (coffee roasted with margarine), Ipoh Hor Fun (silky smooth rice noodles), and Bean Sprouts Chicken are culinary pilgrimage sites for which Malaysians travel hundreds of kilometers.
