Most people think of George Town as the #1 place to go to in Asia for amazing collections of street art. We love Penang<\/a> but were surprised by how much Ipoh has to offer tourists.<\/p>\n

However, not many know about Ipoh. The once-booming city prospered on the back of mining fortunes but was quickly forgotten as demand for tin wained.<\/p>\n

Ipoh has much of the same great food<\/a> that we’ve come to expect from Malaysia, as well as a long history and interesting art and coffee scene that we were previously unaware of.<\/p>\n

Is it possible that Ipoh – not George Town<\/em> – is Malaysia’s king of street art?<\/p>\n

Take a look at the photos below and let us know what you think!<\/p>\n
