The Little Town Gopeng

Gopeng is a small town located about 20km to the south of Ipoh. Just like Ipoh, it was also established on tin mining industry during the end of 19^th century. Nowadays Gopeng is just a small & peaceful town after the collapse of tin mine industry in year 1986. The Federal trunk road (Federal Route 1) of Peninsula Malaysia is crossing the town center. Old shops are lining up along the two sides, standing silently for a century & facing the change of the world.

A Day in Teluk Intan

Teluk Intan is a major town located at south west of Perak State. It is formerly known as Teluk Anson (Anson Bay). The town is surrounded by the Perak River at 3 sides in a U-shaped curve. The town is famous of its leaning clock tower which was built in year 1885.


After visiting the Leaning Clock Tower, we proceed to a traditional restaurant, Teck Kee, which serves nice food, such as “chee cheong fun”, desert & Chinese cuisine. The shop is located at Jalan Raja, with its 2 ends crossing with Jalan Pasar & Jalan Ah Cheong. The shop’s interior is decorated with classical furniture. Among those I like the old photos of Teluk Intan town very much.

We took some time driving around the town. Before leaving, we follow some small signboards & found the famous Tiger Head brand cookies (Sin Joo Heong confectionery). For sure we have to bring back some of these tasty local snack.


Not far from the shop, we reached the river bank of Perak River. The trip ended after taking some photos of the river. It was heavy rain on our way back, especially when reaching Kampung Gajah.

Start with a Colorful Day

It was raining the night before this sunrise captured. Smoother cloud shape is always seen after rain. The thin layer of cloud reflects the morning sun shine displaying a colorful sky.
