Hi and welcome to Ipoh! My name in Ping Kong, I was born at Kuala Kangsar, the royal town where the palace of the Sultan of Perak is situated , 30 km from Ipoh. Ipoh is the capital city of Perak.
I love to travel, both to cities, as well as out of town, back to the wilderness.

I have been working as tourist guide for about ten years. Meeting people from all walks of life, from different countries. I also organize training for other Malaysian tourist guides when there is request.

Perak is a great state, the oldest tin mining heritage in the country, the world oldest tropical rain forest, the oldest virgin jungle hill station in Peninsular Malaysia. The Sepatang River with fireflies stretching few km long, with about 120 trees full of firefly, where crocodile cruising quietly along the river.

All year long blue sky and sunshine, beautiful limestone hill surround the Ipoh city, contributing the fresh and clean air, wonderful backdrop with regular rainfall. Ipoh is a food haven. You can find authentic and tasty food, with recipes transferred from one generation to another generation.

Ipoh and Taiping are the most sought after destination for retirement. It is the stop over destination for migrating birds, as far north as Northern Japan.

I can customize all my tours to fit your requests. Please do not hesitate to contact me!

Ipoh is a town of authenticity, the traditional food from the local hawker, which brought down from one generation to the next generation, with ever improving taste and presentation.
The relax and easy going life style, where things move slowly, people walk slowly, conducting business in a non rushing manner, slow ing down the paste of life, reducing the invisible social pressure.
Most of the buildings in oldtown is just as what it is , as when it were first built , in the 18 century, it become the main reason for people to come and see, as if they are walking back to 18 century.
