My last visit to Ipoh was many years ago before the government put money and effort into restoring the dilapidated buildings of Old Town and now I’m really happy it made into Lonely Planet’s Places To Visit in 2017!
Hmm, i was in Malaysia in March and visited KL, Melaka, Cameron, Penang but skipped Ipoh, I don’t remember why, but reading your post makes m ealize I should have, lol
Oh well may be I was tired but I want to go back now.
Thanks for sharing!
I’ve only been to Penang and KL. But seeing the rundown houses has its charms. But I’ve always admired the architecture even in KL. You can find temple-looking buildings amidst skyscrapers. I hope to go to Ipoh too, saka sa Melaka!
Never been to Melacca either. Would love to go visit for their food. hehe
The places are so similar to Cebu. For instance, those run-down houses look like the heritage houses in Carcar. The renovated SPH de Silva building looks like a similar building in Colon street. And the Ipon railway station is somewhat similar to Cebu’s Capitol. Wow!
The similarities also struck me. I hope more buildings in Colon will get renovated. I’m sure it would look great, Cebu is so old there are bound to be many heritage houses there.
The architecture and history buff would love this place. I enjoyed seeing the lovely buildings you photographed. Malaysia has stayed way under my radar so far.
Malaysia has a lot of really nice places to visit. Aside from Ipoh, I would recommend Penang for a fellow cat lover 🙂
