Ipoh, Malaysia
Eighty kilometres northwest of Tapah in the Kinta Valley, Ipoh grew rich on the tin trade and is now the third
biggest city in Malaysia. The muddy Sungei Kinta cuts the centre of Ipoh neatly in two; most of the hotels are
situated east of the river, whilst the old town is on the opposite side between Jalan Sultan Idris Shah and Jalan
Sultan Iskander. Some of Ipoh's old colonial street names have been changed in favour of something more
Islamic, though the signs haven't always caught up; hence, Jalan CM Yusuf instead of Jalan Chamberlain,
Jalan Mustapha Al-Bakri for Jalan Clare and Jalan Bandar Timar for Jalan Leech.
