Guide: Must-visit Instagrammable spots in Ipoh, Malaysia.

[Must-visit Check-in Spots in Ipoh, Malaysia][1]The filming location of the movie "The King and I", the old train station known as the "Taj Mahal of Ipoh". Located across from the Old Town Market in the center of Ipoh, it was designed by British architect Arthur Benison Hubback and built between 1914-1917. A typical combination of Moorish and Victorian styles, it looks like a museum on the outside and is one of the few century-old train stations still in use in the world. Inside, it is not very big, and you can see the train outside the ticket gate at a glance. The lawn square in front of the station is a great spot for taking photos and checking in. Across the street are many government agencies, all of which are historic old buildings full of character.
[2]For breakfast, you can go to "Eight and a Half Hong Kong-style Dim Sum Tea House" located in Damao District. Just look at the long line of people waiting outside, and you'll know that this dim sum restaurant is both delicious and affordable.
[3]Try the local delicacies in Ipoh, such as "Lao Huang Jia Ya Cai Ji" in Old Street. The photo shows the whole chicken I packed to go because I was in a hurry, so there are no bean sprouts and it doesn't look like the standard dish. When I got to this restaurant, there was a long queue and they told me that they don't allow takeout, only dine-in. I explained that I came all the way from China just to try their chicken, and they finally agreed to pack the whole chicken for me. It costs 76 Malaysian Ringgit (equals to 120 RMB) per chicken.
[4]You can buy "Ipoh white coffee" as a gift. While the whole world is drinking black coffee, Ipoh is famous for its unique white coffee. Famous brands include "Old Town" and "Train Head". I bought a pack of "Ipoh Train Head White Coffee" for 18.9 Malaysian Ringgit (=31 Chinese Yuan) at Old Town. (To be continued)
