Story Begin With Our 10th Anniversary Vacation. 我们的十周年假期

We decided to have a 3 days 2 nights road trip to Ipoh and Cameron Highland for our 10th-anniversary celebration.

在我们的十周年时，我们决定去怡保和金马仑高原为期的3天2夜的公路旅行。

Why Visit Ipoh?

Ipoh is often compared to Penang and Melaka， all have street arts, decent street food, and ancient architecture. In our experience, Ipoh is much quieter and far less touristy than Penang and Melaka. More than that, my wife is actually from Penang.😂

怡保十分相识于槟城和马六甲，它们都有街头艺术，不错的街头美食和古老的建筑。根据我们的经验，怡保比槟城和马六甲要安静得多，游客也比较少。更重要的是，我的妻子实际上是来自槟城的。

Accommodation In Ipoh

While searching the list of hotels available in Ipoh, I got attention from a special Hotel "Ipoh Bali Hotel". The Ipoh Bali Hotel is located in the center city of the Ipoh with Balinese stay experience. The traditional bamboo cages, the antique rustic natural woods with luxurious furnishing used extensively in the hotel. I made my mind on the spot and booked a superior double room with a garden view. Indeed the room was actually very nice and good experience. 

在搜索怡保的酒店列表时，我发现了一家特殊的酒店“怡保巴厘岛酒店”。怡保巴厘岛酒店坐落在怡保市中心，拥有巴厘岛风情。传统的竹笼，仿古质朴的天然木材以及豪华的家具在酒店中得到广泛使用。我当即下定决心，并预订了享有花园景致的高级双人套房。确实，房间实际上是非常好的，有很好的体验。

RM326 per night with free breakfast as well as car parking lot. The person in charge will take your breakfast order while you are checking in and you can pick your breakfast time as well.

What Is So Special?

Gunung Lang is located about five kilometers from Ipoh town is one of the many limestone mountains in the state of Perak. Gunung Lang is a stretch of limestone areas in the centre of Lembah Kinta and it is a recreational area in the north of Ipoh City. It can be accessed via the North-South Expressway through the Sungai Siput and Jalan Kuala Kangsar exit.

This area was explored way back in 1880 by a Malay tin miner, whereby the mining activities were carried out in the caves here. This area was also turned into an iron ore mining area that developed a disrupted landscape area such as the swampy areas and lakes. There is a mini zoo in the park as well.

昆仑浪休闲公园位于距怡保镇约五公里的地方，是霹雳州众多的石灰岩山脉之一。 昆仑浪是Lembah Kinta中心的一片石灰岩地区，它是怡保市北部的休闲区。可以通过南北高速公路Sungai Siput和Jalan Kuala Kangsar入口进入。

该地区在1880年变成了铁矿石开采区，该区开发了一片被破坏的景观区，例如沼泽区和湖泊。公园内还有一个迷你动物园。
