The Ipoh Adventure Part 6 - Of Temples and Pomelos

We left Ipoh late this afternoon. It was quite an experience and I learnt a few things about the tin capital of Malaysia.

Firstly (I am always well organised), that they have a lot of limestone hills. These hills are everywhere, and most of them stand alone as a single hill but in the company of others. Well, in other words, they don’t form a continuous ridge.

There are many temples built into the natural caves of these hills, and this was how we spent the greater part of this morning – exploring temples.

Secondly, Ipoh is apparently quite famous for its coffee, pomelos and groundnuts. How do I know? Cos everywhere you go, you will find people trying to sell you one of the above.

Thirdly, after visiting the temples and the major (empty) Parkson Shopping Centre, there is practically no other worthy tourist attraction to go – unless you count The Lost World of Tambun Water Themepark.

So after lunch, we headed back to the hotel for a nap, and set off to KL to spend the night…
