Ranking above the rest of the Asian cities, Ipoh proves transcending. From its unique and historical colonial-era buildings to hipster cafes, Ipoh is a perfect blend of the classic and modern!

The booming mural art scene and boutique souvenir shops in Ipoh’s Old Town make it a highlight for tourists to explore whether by foot, bicycle or Perak’s Hop-on, Hop-off bus tour.

Also rated as the world’s top destination for local food and listed among the Top 3 Best Coffee Towns in Asia by Lonely Planet, Ipoh is a haven for foodies.
