Kellie's Castle
This spooky unfinished mansion was built by a Scottish planter over 100 years ago and is full of mysterious tunnels and amazing stories.
Tucked among dramatic limestone hills in the heart of Malaysia, Ipoh is a city that feels like it is bursting with secrets. It grew wealthy and grand during the days when tin mining was booming, and that golden era left behind some seriously impressive buildings — including a railway station so magnificent and ornate that people travel from all over just to admire it.
The city has a wonderfully laid-back atmosphere, but there is always something to discover around the next corner. You might explore a spooky unfinished mansion full of hidden tunnels, wander into a serene temple glittering with golden statues inside a real limestone cave, or get lost in a buzzing narrow street packed with colourful murals and delicious snacks.
Speaking of delicious — Ipoh takes its food very seriously! The local limestone hills filter the spring water here, and locals proudly claim this makes their famous bean sprouts crunchier and tastier than anywhere else in the world. Whether you love history, adventure, or food, Ipoh has something to make you smile.
