Taiping is the second-largest city in the state of Perak, Malaysia. Historically, it was the first capital of Perak before the capital was shifted to Ipoh in 1935.
Before the completion of the North-South Expressway, Taiping was the middle point of travel from Ipoh to Penang Island. After the highway was completed, travelers could bypass Taiping by using the highway to travel from Ipoh to Penang. As a result, travelers have less commonly visited Taiping. However, it still has a rich history, and many of its heritage elements are still maintained.
We purposely diverted to Taiping to visit this historic town during a trip from Kuala Lumpur to Penang last month. There are still plenty of things to see and places to visit. We stayed there for half a day on the way to Penang and then stayed overnight in Taiping on the way back. In this article, we will also include some lesser-known places that are worth visiting, which we discovered two years ago. Let's delve into the details of our itinerary.
