Old Town Skyline at Night

After some positive feedback on Ipoh's skyline at night which posted some days ago, I am quite eager to share more night scenes from high spot. Tonight I have chosen Kinta Heights to capture the beautiful night scene of Ipoh city at several different angles. From top to bottom, these are the photos focused on Old Town that taken towards north (Kinta Riverfront Hotel, Wisma Taiko & Islamic Complex are seen), northwest (Railway Station & Town Hall) and west (Tabung Haji Building & suburb of Silibin, Buntong) respectively. There are more photos of New Town to be posted soon :)

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.
