Mount Chabang

Citizens of Ipoh may have been familiar with the mountain ranges that surrounding the city. The hills & mountains are the great background of our day-to-day live. However, majority of us are not able to name the significant peaks on both Titiwangsa Range & Kledang Range. After a quick research, I find this unique peak seen from Central Market on the direction of Clare Street is Mount Chabang. And it was captured from another angle & posted in April 6, 2009.

Somehow or rather it looks like Mount Korbu which is about 37KM North-east of Ipoh
