India, Feb. 14 -- Ipoh in Perak, Malaysia, is just 200 km north of Kuala Lumpur. Having witnessed the great tin rush, Japanese invasion, and British liberation, Ipoh's fortunes have risen and fallen over time. Today, it thrives as a popular tourist destination, blending ancient caves, British colonial architecture, and modernity. With many places to visit, Ipoh is a must-include in any Malaysia itinerary.

While the city's name comes from a tree whose poisonous sap was used on hunters' blowpipes, modern Ipoh is safe, and famous for its street food, white coffee, and top tourist attractions.
