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

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.

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.

Oh wow! Tough! I love walking but the incline got to me . I wasn’t really prepared for the challenge. Lesson learned. I need to get better walking shoes with tighter ankle grip for walking down. It took us 2 and a half hours up and less coming down. We started at 10am and lucky that the day wasn’t too hot. So glad we made it to the top ! Hydrate often!! Take tiny sips every few mins , and even coming down. 1 ltr bottle should be enough for 1 person to drink and carry down.

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.
