New visit to the lake called Tasik Cermin

Continuing from A walk around Ipoh old town.



Later in the afternoon we headed to a limestone hill which houses a lake called Tasik Cermin.




I have been here with the wife and two youngest kid before.




But at that time I was just a secluded spot known only to some people. 



Look at the article Visiting Tasik Cermin in Gunung Rapat made more than 6 years ago.




Now it has been turned into a paid tourist attraction...







There is also a boat service to tour around the lake...













For the record this is the 2,474th article in this blogspot.
















A walk around Ipoh old town

Continuing from Views of Ipoh city from a hotel besides the Kinta river.



That afternoon we went to the Ipoh old town.







It is area said to be the original Ipoh town built around 130 years ago.







Many of the buildings have been partly modernised and turned into tourist attractions...


































Views of Ipoh city from a hotel besides the Kinta river

Peace be upon you all. Just some things from a recent impromptu trip to Ipoh as the first article here for the new year of 2024.



Saturday 13th January 2024. Me and family made an impromptu trip to Ipoh and stayed at a small hotel. The following morning Sunday 14th January I went up to the hotel's rooftop.



The hotel is close to the Kinta river. 



The river runs across the Ipoh city.



As usual when on top of a building I like to savour the views around...






That's the blue dome of the Panglima Kinta mosque...






Then I saw a staircase leading to a higher floor...



Looking around...
