Ipoh, Capital city in Perak, Malaysia
The city extends along the Kinta River, surrounded by limestone hills containing numerous temple caves and natural formations at 22 meters elevation.
The discovery of tin deposits in 1880 transformed Ipoh from a small village into a major mining center of the British colonial administration.
The temples of Sam Poh Tong and Kek Lok Tong display Buddhist artworks and statues within natural limestone caverns, reflecting Chinese religious traditions.
Ipoh connects to major Malaysian cities through the North-South Expressway, regular train services, and flights from Sultan Azlan Shah Airport.
The indigenous people named the city after the Epu tree, using its sap to coat their blowpipe darts for hunting activities.
