Taiping is the second-largest city in Perak, often overshadowed by the more popular and well-known Ipoh, yet offering just as much to see and do! This charming old town is blessed with well-preserved colonial architecture, historical buildings, fine gardens, the oldest hill resort in the country, and even the oldest museum in Peninsular Malaysia. Here are some must-visit spots to add onto your Taiping itinerary:

Taiping Lake Gardens is Malaysia's first park! Since its opening in 1880, it remains a well-maintained, beautiful space with almost 150 years of history. Dotted with pretty angsana trees, a lotus pond, as well as lots of paths, bridges, lakes, and viewing points, the park is great for a nice morning or evening stroll.

Did you know that Taiping Zoo is Malaysia's oldest zoo? First established in 1961, it is today home to over 1,200 animals and doubles up as a conservation and research center. Its 'residents' include endangered species such as the Malayan Tiger, and other animals like orangutans, rhinos, giraffes, crocodiles, and more. The zoo even tranforms into a night safari after the sky turns dark!

Formerly known as Maxwell Hill, Bukit Larut is a quiet hill station located at an altitude of 1250m. For those who'd like some exercise, remember to pack your shoes and get ready for a good (and satisfying) sweat as you get to the top. The views from the top of the mountain will not disappoint you!

The rustic Taiping Clock Tower is one of Taiping's iconic sights. The white-washed British colonial structure is often mistaken as a church due to its appearance, and it has served the city well over the years as a police station, fire brigade, and timekeeper. Pop by to snap some photos here!
