Ipoh Cover - Coffee

Ipoh is the capital of Perak state and has a mix of traditional shophouses, British colonial architecture, and great food. While the tin industry collapsed in the 1970s, tourism is thriving here.

Ipoh is only a 2.5 hour train ride from Kuala Lumpur or less than an hour flight from Singapore. It is more laid-back here with friendly locals and an abundance of cheap Uber cars. Being a smaller city, everything is just a quick drive away, making it a perfect weekend getaway from the big city.

If you find Kuala Lumpur great value for money by international standards, you'll even love it more here. I recommend staying at least a night here and explore leisurely, and to eat a lot of good local food!
