Itinerary

Kellie's castle

A Timeless Mystery in Perak
Discover the intriguing history of Kellie’s Castle, located just 30 minutes from Ipoh in Batu Gajah. This unfinished mansion, built by Scottish planter William Kellie Smith in the early 1900s, features unique Moorish and Indo-Saracenic architecture rarely seen in Malaysia.

Tasik Cermin (Mirror Lake)

A Hidden Gem Among Limestone Cliffs
Tasik Cermin, also known as Mirror Lake, is one of Ipoh’s best-kept secrets — a tranquil lake hidden behind limestone hills and accessed through a tunnel. Surrounded by towering cliffs and lush greenery, the lake’s glass-like surface reflects the rocks and sky, creating a magical, mirror-like view that lives up to its name.

Sam Poh Tong cave temple

A Sacred Cave Temple Amid Limestone Hills
Located in Gunung Rapat, Sam Poh Tong is one of Ipoh’s oldest and most famous Chinese Buddhist cave temples. Built into a limestone hill, the temple offers a unique blend of spiritual serenity and natural beauty.

Perak tong Cave Temple

At Perak Tong Cave Temple in Ipoh, visitors can explore the impressive limestone cave adorned with over 40 Buddha statues, including a notable 12-meter-tall seated Buddha in the main chamber. The cave walls feature intricate murals depicting various religious and cultural themes. For those seeking a panoramic view of the surrounding area, ascending the approximately 450 steps to the hilltop pavilion is worthwhile, as it offers a rewarding vista upon reaching the summit

Cocunbine lane- A vibrant alley full of souvenirs, snacks, and culture.

A Vibrant Heritage Street Full of Charm
Located in the heart of Ipoh Old Town, Concubine Lane is a narrow, historic alley that dates back to the early 1900s. Once known for its mysterious past involving wealthy tin miners and their mistresses, today it has transformed into a bustling hotspot of heritage, culture, and street life.

Ipoh Railway Station – Take photos at the iconic British colonial building, known as the “Taj Mahal of Ipoh”.

Built in 1917, the Ipoh Railway Station is one of Malaysia’s most iconic colonial landmarks. Often called the “Taj Mahal of Ipoh” due to its majestic Mughal-style architecture, this station is not just a transit point but a heritage attraction in itself.

Birch Memorial Clock Tower

A Colonial Landmark in Ipoh
The Birch Memorial Clock Tower, built in 1909, stands as a significant colonial-era monument in the heart of Ipoh. Erected in memory of James W.W. Birch, the first British Resident of Perak, the clock tower features Moorish-style design, intricate carvings, and symbolic panels representing the evolution of civilization.

Gunung Helang

Scenery: The park features calm lakes, lush gardens, a man‑made waterfall at the entrance, and striking limestone formations that create a tranquil, photo-rich atmosphere.
“Little Guilin” Feel: Often likened to the scenic landscapes of Guilin, China, the green hills and reflective waters add to its charm.
Boating Experience: A short boat ride (around 5 minutes) takes you from the entrance across the lake to the main park.
