The mosque is very unique and attractive. The architecture is simply amazing, design looks like the Taj Mahal. Apart from that, the surrounding was very peaceful, greenery. No worries about the parking since it's a open car park around the mosque. During my visit, I just managed to take photos from outside since I couldn't enter the mosque. Visitors should wear appropriate attire to enter the mosques. But during this Covid-19 pandemic, outside people are not allowed to enter the mosque. Basically, i would highly recommend visitors to visit this beautiful mosque !!!

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.

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

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.

We're promoting art and culture with our miniature figurine and scenery through more understanding about history.
Reviewed By AnnT364 - Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
From the moment we stepped into the place, we were taken in by these little scenes depicting the life and culture of the common people, soldiers and royalty from ancient China. All the figures are made from dough and the attention to details is simply amazing! The buildings and other structures are made from other materials such as cardboard, wood, plastic or anything that works. Very educative. Free admission to view the displays on the ground level and RM5 to see more upstairs. Highly recommended.

Quite a surprise. Tucked away behind a big Chinese temple is a huge cavernous cave. It houses a very serene Buddha and many other statues of Buddha and Chinese Gods. The paintings on the wall are very beautiful. There are many stalactites and stalagmites with water drips. There is a steep stair case taking you to the summit only for the fit ones. Worth a visit.
