Ipoh the place I was brought up and the place I shall return.
Originally a village, Ipoh a town in Malaysia began to grow rapidly in the 1880s after huge deposits of tin were discovered within its vicinity. However, following the depletion of its tin deposits and the collapse of tin prices in the 1970s, the city suffered decades of decline and neglect. In recent years, Ipoh's popularity as a tourist destination has been significantly boosted by efforts to conserve its British colonial-era architecture. The city is also well known for its cuisine and natural attractions, such as its limestone hills and caves.
