🎨 Ipoh Murals – Street Art Stories on Every Wall

#holidayitinerary #citywalk #ipohmari #august2025
One of the joys of wandering around Ipoh Old Town is stumbling upon its vibrant murals — each one a playful brushstroke of memory, culture, and daily life. Among the most iconic is “A Paper Plane”, where two children lean from a window, one reaching out as if to catch imagination itself. It’s whimsical, nostalgic, and beautifully reflective of Ipoh’s charm.

But the art doesn’t stop there. Around the winding lanes, you’ll find walls alive with scenes:
• 👦 A child perched on a plastic chair, simple yet evocative of everyday kampung moments.
• ☕ An old uncle holding a white coffee cup, paying homage to the city’s most famous brew.
• 🐦 Murals of birds, light and free, adding color to aged walls.
• 🧃 The quirky mural of five bags of bungkus kopi, dangling as if just picked up from a kopitiam.
• 🏞️ A striking bijih timah mountain view, a nod to Ipoh’s history as a tin mining hub.

✨ In Ipoh, art is not confined to museums. It spills out into the streets, turning walls into living canvases where history, humor, and heart meet.
