Ipoh
Malaysia’s third-largest city. The actual meaning of the name is the ‘City of Millionaires’ The Tin mining wealth during the colonial time made the city dwellers rich. This is almost like ghosts of its grand colonial days with the mixture of colonial and modern architecture. Moorish and Victorian pastiche of the train station the best example. The city center with colonial-era shops, retains their originality.
Ipoh is of great interest to all nature lovers for Kuala Gula Bird Sanctuary. Almost over 160 different species of birds made their natural habitat here. Visitors may see smooth otters, long-tailed macque and ridge-back dolphins. During winter September to December many other migratory birds arrive here.
