There are greens covering the east city center boundary where it locates the Royal Perak Golf Club, the Perak Turf Club, villas & luxury houses. Prima Ipoh Condominium is seen as the two high rise buildings on the left while the Ipoh Specialist Hospital with the blue roofing stays next to it. At the center, the square structure that appeared like an air traffic control tower is the Perak Turf Club landmark building. If I remember correctly it should be a broadcasting center. Behind these manmade structures, it is the beautiful landscape of mountains & hills, the Titiwangsa mountain range & lime stone hill of Gunung Rapat. I hope the city’s urban development will progress in harmony with the beautiful nature at surrounding so we could enjoy both the modern life & breathtaking natural view.
Ipoh, the capital city of Perak State, Malaysia, is the city that tin built. Located at the famous tin mining area, Kinta Valley, it used to be the world's largest tin mine since 19th century. Not only of its tin mine, but Ipoh also famous of its delicious food, beautiful mountain ranges, mysterious lime stone caves, attractive history & friendly citizen. Being the second in Malaysia that gain the status of city in year 1988 after Kuala Lumpur, Ipoh is one of the major cities in Malaysia with the population around 700,000. Began as a small village in 1870's, tin mine industry had brought in Chinese and Indian that boosted the town development since 1890's. The rapid growing town later upgraded to be the capital of Perak during the Japanese occupation at World War II. The rich tin resource had brought prosperity to many Ipoh miners that even make it once known as the City of Millionaires. Today, Ipoh has grown to cover a large area including the neighboring township such as Bercham, Tasek, Jelapang, Menglembu, Pengkalan, Simpang Pulai & Chemor. The city is still developing continuously while maintains its beauty of nature and harmony.
We are living in a busy world. We often have no time to appreciate the moments in our daily life. Take a break, stop & look around. There are many beautiful things, although it is simple & humble. I learn to gain a better life by appreciation & would like to share the images in my world.
