Ipoh, the charming city in the heart of Malaysia's Perak state, is a must-visit destination for its rich cultural heritage and mouth-watering street food. The city's vibrant vibe is centred around the iconic Ipoh Old Town, with its beautifully restored colonial shophouses and bustling night markets. One unique thing travellers love about Ipoh is its love for white coffee, which can be found in cafes and hawker stalls throughout the city. The best time to visit Ipoh is from February to August, when the weather is dry and sunny. First-timers should be prepared for the city's hilly terrain, so it's a good idea to rent a scooter or taxi to get around, especially when exploring the outskirts of the city where many of its famous cave temples and limestone hills are located.
