Malaysia’s ‘Hipster Capital’ has emerged as a popular tourist destination owing to its well-preserved British-era architecture, naturally beautiful landscapes, street art, and cuisine. The capital city of Perak (Malaysian state), country’s third largest city by population and one of the cleanest cities, is adorned with white cliffs and caves, some of which housed Buddhist temples. Tin deposits found in Ipoh in the 1880s transformed it from being a languorous village to a vibrant city it is today.
The top sights which delegates can explore before or after events in Ipoh include Sam Poh Tong, Kek Look Tong, Perak Tong, Birch Memorial Clock Tower, Muzium Darul Ridzuan, Courthouse, Town Hall, etc.
Ipoh enjoys sound connectivity with other cities of Malaysia as well as major cities of the world by air, rail, and road. Sultan Azlan Shah Airport is the nearest airport, situated at a distance of about 6 kilometers from the city center. There are daily trains of Electric Train Service (ETS) railway line from Kuala Lumpur to Ipoh.
