Walking Tour In Ipoh Old Town

Since the weather was nice and cool, we decided to join in the crowd as local tourists. We, Ipohites usually avoid the tourist attractions in Ipoh old town during weekends and public holidays. The year end school holidays has started and there has been an increased in the number of tourists visiting Ipoh. It was early and we were able to park our car behind the Hor Yan Hor museum.

As we walked, we  took snapshots of whatever we found interesting, just like the other tourists. There are many new additions to the place compared to what we have seen on our previous visits. Come with me and enjoy the walking tour as you look at the snapshots.

Very convenient for those who have problem walking.

These are not cute toys but edible buns with filling.

I didn't buy any to taste but I think they are too cute to be eaten.

Succulents for sale.

If you are tired, you can take a seat here to rest your tired feet.

The not so well known "3rd Concubine Lane".

Colourful umbrellas to give us some shade from the sun.

The dark rectangle hole was formerly used for collecting night soil before the flush system for toilets was introduced.

Nothing much to see here at 3rd Concubine Lane.

These days, more are switching to electrical oven baking.

This wall painting looks so like the real thing.

Building blocks on a side wall.

This is a very unique washroom or toilet. I should have gone in to take a look. Those roots on the wall are genuine tree roots. This toilet is found near to the Plan B Cafe.

 Paintings on the pillar.

Newly painted and with a red cloth hanging over the door way shows something new is happening here. Can you see the year 1928 on top of the building?

Next to the newly painted building is this abandoned rundown building.

We are hunted down, but God never abandons us.

We get knocked down, but we get up again and keep going.

These bodies of ours are constantly facing death just as Jesus did;

so it is clear to all that it is only the living Christ within who keeps us safe.

(2 Corinthians 4:9-10, The Living Bible-TLB)
