We finalized few places must take photographs in perak. The theme of these places is culture, you must keep these memories in photograph!

Concubine Lane is one of the attraction in Ipoh, it has over 100 years history. The name of the lane sound weird, but there is actually a history behind this. Long time ago, this lane was a place of vice activity, few years later, it became a residential area for Chinese men kept their mistresses or concubines.

During holiday, there is large crowd of people.

In this 5 years time, this lane has so much changes, it is getting more and more prosperous and bustling, but some of the building here showing signs of age and neglect. A lot of people come over here to take photos. 

You can found souvenir at here as well.

Next, wall art is one of symbolic culture in Ipoh. Most of the people do not know Ipoh have many beautiful wall art. These are the latest collection of Ipoh Wall Art Murals are painted by Ernest Zacharevic, the same man who painted murals on walls along the streets of Penang's Georgetown.

It shows a man making a living in the town of Ipoh by stacking black plastic bags containing rubbish or recyclable items onto a trishaw.
