Perak
As you leave the busy hub of Selangor and head north towards Perak, the
character of the land changes from an urban profile to a scenic, undulating
countryside. Here and there, you will glimpse pleasant plots of farmland,
palm oil and rubber plantations. The magnificent view is set against a
background of green jungle and jagged limestone hills.
Covering some 21,000 sq. km., Perak lies between Kedah in the north and
Selangor to the south. The Main Range mountains cut across the state of
Perak, standing in dramatic juxtaposition to the flat, steaming plains of
the western coastline.
Perak's capital, Ipoh is a slow-moving, quiet town full of quaint old
bungalows and is famed for its simple yet excellent hawker food. The hawker
fare here has such an excellent reputation that it is not unusual for
Malaysians from other towns to drive for up to three hours just for a bowl
of delicious noodles!
Taiping, the second largest town in Perak after Ipoh, sits on the
foothills of Bukit
Larut (Maxwell Hill), is the historical town with many firsts.
It’s home to the first railway line in Malaya,
first museum,
first newspapers in English, Malay and Tamil and also, the
first
lake gardens,
hill resorts,
zoo and night safari in Malaysia.
Perak has a western coastline facing the Straits of Melaka and not far off
its coast are a number of islands. The nearest is
Pangkor Island, off the
coastal town of Manjung. Pangkor's unique island lifestyle offers visitors a
variety of experiences and some outstanding beaches. And wait until you
taste the cheap, fresh and delicious seafood here!
