IPOH HAS MANY NICE ATTRACTIONS AND SIGHTS IN AND AROUND THE CITY. ONE POPULAR ATTRACTION IS THE RAILWAY STATION, TOWN HALL AND HIGH COURT. OTHER ATTRACTIONS ARE: IPOH HERITAGE WALK. SINCE ITS INCEPTION IN 2000, ORANG UTAN ISLAND HAS PROGRESSED FROM BEING A SANCTUARY, WHERE VISITORS EXPERIENCED FIRST-HAND AWARENESS AND EDUCATION ON THE ORANGUTAN, TO A RECOGNIZED EX-SITU CONSERVATION FACILITY AND REFERRAL CENTER FOR THE ENDANGERED BORNEAN ORANGUTAN HOTEL PICK-UP & DROP-OFF INCLUDED.

A 35-ACRE ISLAND NESTLED WITHIN THE IDYLLIC SETTING OF BUKIT MERAH LAKE-TOWN RESORT, AN ECO-FRIENDLY 7000-ACRE FRESHWATER LAKESIDE VACATION GETAWAY IN SEMANGGOL, PERAK. SINCE ITS INCEPTION IN 2000, ORANG UTAN ISLAND HAS PROGRESSED FROM BEING A SANCTUARY, WHERE VISITORS EXPERIENCED FIRST-HAND AWARENESS AND EDUCATION ON THE ORANGUTAN, TO A RECOGNIZED EX-SITU CONSERVATION FACILITY AND REFERRAL CENTER FOR THE ENDANGERED BORNEAN ORANGUTAN. A WALK THROUGH THE SEMI-CIRCLE STEEL-FENCE TUNNEL ENCLOSURE IS A HUMBLING EXPERIENCE, WHERE WE HUMANS, SEEMINGLY IN A CAGE, CAN PEER OUT AND BE CAPTIVATED BY THE ORANGUTANS ROAMING FREE BEYOND IN THE TREES, ON THE GRASS, AND BY THE LAKE. SCIENTISTS HAVE COME TO STUDY HOW ORANG UTAN ISLAND HAS MANAGED TO HAVE A POPULATION OF 24 ORANGUTANS TODAY FROM ONLY THREE IN 2000 AND THEY BELIEVE THE ENDEAVORS AT ORANG UTAN ISLAND WILL GREATLY ASSIST IN THE CONSERVATION OF THE BORNEAN ORANGUTAN.

THE IPOH RAILWAY STATION WAS INITIALLY MEANT TO BE A HOSPITAL AND USED BEFORE THE 20TH CENTURY AS SUCH BEFORE BEING TURNED INTO A STATION. THE ORIGINAL COMPLETION YEAR OF 1917 WAS DELAYED FOR THREE YEARS DUE TO LACK OF CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS AS WELL AS HIGH COSTS DURING WORLD WAR I.

IPOH TOWN HALL IS ONE OF THREE COLONIAL ERA BUILDINGS IN IPOH DESIGNED BY WELL KNOWN BRITISH ARCHITECT ARTHUR BENISON HUBBACK. THE OTHER TWO, IPOH HIGH COURT AND IPOH RAILWAY STATION, ARE A SHORT DISTANCE APART. IPOH RAILWAY STATION IS ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND IPOH HIGH COURT IS THE BUILDING NEXT DOOR.

IPOH OLD TOWN WAS SUCH A QUIET TOWN THAT TRAVELLERS WOULD CALL IT A LAID-BACK TOWN WITH CAFES, TRADITIONAL COFFEES AND FOOD AND FLOURISHING STREET ARTS. NOT MUCH WAS HEARD OF THE THREE CONCUBINE LANES. IN JULY 2016, LONELY PLANET LISTED IPOH AS ONE OF THE BEST ASIAN DESTINATIONS TO VISIT. PHOTOS OF THE CONCUBINE LANES STARTED APPEARING IN NEWS ARTICLES.

ONE OF THE MOST INFLUENTIAL COLONIAL LEGACIES REMAINS AS A CLOCK TOWER. IPOH’S BIRCH MEMORIAL CLOCK TOWER IN FRONT OF IPOH STATE MOSQUE OFFICIALLY OPENED IN 1909. THE WHITE-WASHED STRUCTURE ACTS AS A MEMORIAL TO JAMES BIRCH, THE FIRST BRITISH RESIDENT OF PERAK.
