Planning A Vacation II
After deciding where to go and how many days for vacation, it’s time to list down what are the things you wanna do in that particular place. In my case, it is Ipoh and surrounding town. Let’s see my list:
- Pasar Karat – Only on Sunday morning, somewhere in Ipoh town.
- Bukit Merah Lake Town Resort. Alternatively, we can just visit the Tambun Lost World – Is that right?
- Bukit Larut – also known as Maxwell Hill, situated 10kms from Taiping. They said that to get there we have to use 4×4 vehicle. Anyway, I am going to drive a Ford Ranger, so it must be possible. Or else, you can hire a land rover at the foot of the hills.
- Kellie’s Castle – Situated somewhere in Ipoh-Batu Gajah road. Must use sampan to get there.
- The royal town of Kuala Kangsar – 40kms north of Ipoh, three important buildings to see are Istana Kenangan, Iskandariah and Ubudiah Mosque.
- Taiping – the night zoo and the state museum
- Caving – there are many caves around Ipoh town, one of it is Gua Tempurung
- Tambun Hot Springs
- Malaysia’s first rubber tree in Kuala Kangsar
- Ipoh Cave temple like Sam Poh Tong
- Kuala Gula Bird Santuary – I am not sure where is this place, but will find more information about it..
- Perak’s Geological museum
Perak is also known for it’s delicious delicacies.

Zoo Taiping, Perak
Actually we didn’t included Zoo Taiping in our list of places to visit because we had visited the night safari. But after visiting the museum, which is very short visit, the only place we know to go is the zoo. Afterall we couldn’t see much at night, right? So, this is the time to watch that monkey and apes…
Muzium Taiping, Perak
When we checked out from the hotel that morning, there was a problem with the car. We had to send it to the workshop, thanks to Taiping Policemen who escort us to the workshop. I am sure that made the foremen worked on our car faster than ever. Well, we had to leave the car at the workshop for 2 hours, so we decided to walk around Taiping. The foremen dropped us at the museum.

Hotel Panorama, Taiping
If in Ipoh, we stay at the Grand View Hotel, in Taiping we get the Panoramic Hotel (Hotel Panorama) 
. Unfortunately, unlike Grand View Hotel, Panoramic Hotel doesn’t stand to its name. It doesn’t offered us a beautiful panoramic view out of the room’s window. Thus, I don’t take any pictures from the room.
If I haven’t forget, the Panoramic Hotel rate is RM80/ night. Slightly cheaper than the Grand View Hotel, while it’s room is slightly bigger than Grand View Hotel. It has a coffee house and they served delicious great food. It’s full at all time. Not with the tourists, but I think the locals here. Most probably because the foods are great and it’s affordable.

Fun At The Lost World Of Tambun, Ipoh
Lost World of Tambun is not as big as Sunway Lagoon, but it has its own special characteristics such as beautiful surroundings and less visitors.. Less visitors might not be good for its owner, but for me it’s mean more privacy and I don’t have to long queue waiting to play that swing of choice. Anyway, I had fun here, and hey, the food is not bad too…
And here is the location on Google Maps: Lost World of Tambun
