New Skyline Seen from Ipoh Padang

Now it looked different when viewing from Old Town Cafe across the Ipoh Padang. In between Wisma Taiko & Islamic Bank Building, the two blocks rose from ground reaching its full height now are the Kinta Riverfront Hotel & Condominium. Ipoh city center skyline is now added with these towers which are touching the height limit of Ipoh's high rise building. When seen from a farther distance, it's clearly noticeable that Kinta Riverfront Towers are in same level with Tower Regency Hotel, sharing the crown of tallest building in Ipoh city center.
