Kinta District

Kinta District encompasses a vast area that includes agricultural lands, significant rivers, and hills, with Ipoh serving as its capital city.

The district gained prominence during the late 19th century when extensive tin mining operations attracted numerous immigrants, transforming it into an economic center.

The district maintains strong influences from Malay, Chinese, and Indian communities, evident in the local celebrations of Hari Raya, Chinese New Year, and Deepavali.

The district connects to major Malaysian cities through extensive highway networks, while local transportation serves the five administrative divisions called mukims.

Limestone caves throughout the district contain both natural formations and religious sites, including temples that combine geological features with spiritual significance.
