Kinta District, Administrative district in Perak, Malaysia.
Kinta District is an administrative area in Perak with Ipoh as its administrative center. The area encompasses agricultural lands, major rivers, and hills organized into five administrative divisions called mukims.
The district rose to prominence in the late 19th century through tin mining, which drew many immigrants to the area. This development transformed it into an important economic center for the region.
The population includes Malays, Chinese, and Indians whose traditions shape daily life and local customs. You can see this reflected in the temples, mosques, and festivals that are celebrated throughout the year.
The area is well connected to major Malaysian cities through extensive highway networks. Local travel is served by buses and taxis that reach the various mukims throughout the district.
Throughout the district are limestone caves with temples where rock formations meet spiritual practice. These sites welcome visitors who come to experience the blend of geology and faith.
