After our lunch at Restoran Kar Heng (in yesterday's post), we drove to Ipoh old town to visit a wood art craft museum at Lorong Bijeh Timah (facing the Jalan Sultan Iskandar bridge). If you are coming from Ipoh new town to the old town, you will be able to see it on your right hand side as you cross the bridge.
This is the first shop (corner) selling Chinese tea leaves. It is interconnected to the second shop which is the wood art craft shop.
On both sides of the tea shop are two water features with fishes in them.
Dried tea leaves on display at the entrance of the shop.
The names of the different types of tea leaves are all written in Mandarin.
Beautiful antique earthenware jars.
Different types of Chinese tea leaves in small earthenware jars on the table.
This antique wooden staircase leads to the 1st floor and from there, you can cross over to the next shop.
Table made from tree trunk.
Chairs made from wood.
Wooden stools.
This looks like a piece of watermelon.
Wood designed by nature.
Wooden stools.
Wooden table and chairs.
Chairs
Ceiling fans
Antique ceramic wares in wooden meat safes.
A wooden bench that looks like an "alien".
Will continue with more photos from this museum in a later post.

obscured by brilliance from your arrows and
the flashing of your glittering spear.

This reminded me of the tea village I visited in Hangzhou last year. Love the water feature in front of the shop.
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend to you!!
Thank you, Rose. Happy weekend to you too.
DeleteSuch an interesting place with an ancient feel. How to sit on the "alien" chair with such an odd shape lol.
ReplyDeleteNot many people know of this latest attraction. Maybe it was not meant for sitting.
Deletethe bench and chairs are so artistic!
ReplyDeleteDon't know whether some of the chairs will be able to hold the weight of a person.
DeleteThank you for sharing the photos from the wood craft museum. Is there an entrance fee to visit this museum?
ReplyDeleteFree entrance, no charge.

ReplyDeleteGreetings Elke
Thank you, Elkes. Have a good weekend.
DeleteThank you Nancy for taking me along to this great museum! It was interesting to see the objects, perhaps my favourite was the 'alien'! Beautiful jars of the tea leaves - they invite to buy. Thank you for sharing, have a nice weekend.
ReplyDeleteThe tea leaves are for sale but we didn't buy any because we seldom drink tea.
DeleteLike the tea leaves, it's good to see them. Have been to a tea plantation in Queensland and that too was interesting.
ReplyDeleteThe wood, the table is wonderful along with all those things really.
Thank you, Margaret. Have a wonderful weekend.

DeleteSome of the wood furniture look modern, don't mind having them. Just not the piece that looks termite-ridden hehe.
ReplyDeleteI think the termite-ridden piece is a priceless piece, probably not for sale.
