Walk it all off on a jaunt through breathtaking limestone caves that seem carved by the capable hands of a higher power.

Ipoh World (IpohWorld) is an education-based, not-for-profit organisation established in 2004 to promote awareness and appreciation of Perak, the Silver State of Malaysia and its unique, diverse and rich heritage, with particular focus on Ipoh and the Kinta Valley. In 2006 we ran our first public exhibition "The Story of Ipoh: From Feet to Flight", in cooperation with Darul Ridzuan Museum. Since then, supported by sponsorship, we have run several more exhibitions while continuing to seek further financial support for a permanent, lively and interesting heritage gallery for Ipoh, thus enhancing both education and tourism. This current project, our first permanent, museum quality exhibition is our first step to fulfilling this objective. Advance booking is recommended as space in the building is limited. You may book via our website by clicking on Exhibitions or by the QR Code on our brochure. It is quick and easy and you receive a booking confirmation by return.
Educational and informative visit with guided tour by an English speaking guide who was very friendly and knowledgeable, an introduction to the Hakka culture and their tin mining forays in Malaysia, recommend a visit here, location is near to concubine Lane, best to make prior appointment but can walk in as well and if they have space they will accommodate you, there is no entrance fees but highly recommend that you leave a small donation for them to upkeep the place, we enjoyed our visit here

A popular hindu temple for local & tourists. It's nice to visit during thaipusam, even crowded with people & cars. Religion presentation & programme are worth to it

Ho Yan Hor Museum shares the amazing stories of Ho Yan Hor, the famous household brand of Chinese herbal tea since 1940s. It also provide the discovery of the origins and evolution of the heritage herbal tea. Furthermore, it is the gallery about the inspirational life of Dr. HO Kai Cheong, the creator of the health-giving Ho Yan Hor tea.
Excellent visit, a man whom begin his life as a doctor and successfully manage to share his herbal tea in the world. A true philanthropist whom never cease to give back to his needy society. Such character and man is rarely seen anymore in Malaysia. My first visit to Ipoh after many years and my desire to visit and get to know how he had manage to bring up herbal tea importance to the current modern society. A journey which evolves through time. Lovely museum, please continue to keep up preserving this lovely tradition and journey of herbal tea. THe journey ends with a lovey herbal tea trial, bought a gift pack myself being an avid user of Ho yan hor herbal tea :)

Yasmin Ahmad's commercials and movies struck a chord with many a local (and more than a few from abroad) for their honest portrayal of the beauty of everyday Malaysian life. She showed us ordinary, flawed human beings who are capable of being extraordinary - of achieving great things and great happiness, because love and kinship triumph above all else. It is our ultimate goal to propagate this spirit of universal harmony through Yasmin's philosophies that she channelled through her many works. If life imitates art as well as the other way round, we can think of no better purpose to establish an outlet for such artistic expressions to flourish freely. THE YASMIN AHMAD MUSEUM: Yasmin At Kong Heng A resource centre as well as unconventional 'museum' curated with the objective of educating and inspiring others to write film or commercial scripts of their own. It is a small but flexible space where the late Yasmin Ahmad's spirit, love, wisdom and sense of humour can continue inspiring the next generation. The location of Kong Heng in Ipoh was chosen for its proximity to many of the locales where Yasmin shot her famous films. It will not be a conventional museum for a 'dead person's things' or stagnant archives with permanent plaques. Instead, Yasmin At Kong Heng is an evolving space with content that is refreshed every 6 months to 1 year. Yasmin's life's work - whether in film, poetry, photography, TV and even print advertising - will be shared in a "newseum" that inspires and springboards new talent and ideas. And, in the near future, we want to make it a place for local creative talent to shine - from students and aspiring filmmakers to new artists who need an exhibition space.
Located at the basement of the bookstore, the space dedicated to the late Yasmin Ahmad. It showcased some of her photography as well as masterpiece. May Allah Bless Her Soul.

I booked this visit via Airbnb (because that's where I saw it first), RM 10 for a guided tour. I was led by two guides and they were both super friendly, knowledgeable and humourous. I learned about the history of Ipoh, and I got to see some great artwork on display in the museum too. Definitely would recommend this visit.

Visited Hodi during a trip to Ipoh and would definitely return whenever I am in Ipoh. Their desserts were chewy and delicious! Perfectly refreshing for a hot Ipoh weekend. Best of all, I found out that Hodi makes their desserts in-house from scratch! Such a hard thing to find nowadays where most places will have factory-made goods instead. But the desserts are only a part of it. The highlight of Hodi was their super addictive game machines and very innovative decor. The game machines brought back my childhood memories and with the range of single-player to multi-player machines, my group of adults were brought back to their adolescent days, with cheering and many team formations. That said, the machines are great for the kids too, testing their dexterity and hand eye coordination. I saw a few families with kids and the games were a good bonding tool for the parents and kids. And to the decor of Hodi! The whole layout was well thought out and every corner was instagram-worthy! Materials used were mostly recycled (thumbs up for that) and the back of the shop had comfortable seatings and even a small "stream" with fish that kids could net! Great place to take a break or hang out. All in all, this place was a fantastic find and is definitely worth a visit!
