Not much place for visitor except night disco and morning shopping area like Ipoh parade, Kamdar, Yip Foong...etc. I did not visit the Tambun Cave and Perak Tong. I heard that you will have to hire a taxi to go there, Rm$20/hour. If you stay there for 5 hour then will be Rm$100. Yes got around in taxi. Over there they speak more in Cantonese than Madarin, English not very well and Malay too. I only stay there 2D1N, instead of 3d2n.

Destination of hotel is ok, rather centralised. It costs around RM6-8 to go around the places we went. We visited Sam Poh Tong and alongside it there're two other limestone cave temples. It is unique with the temple built in into the limestone. I like the beautiful gardens outside. However, I prefer the Perak Tong which is more natural with beautiful wall paintings on the limestone cave ceilings. It's an enchanting experience.
Had dimsum as well at Lea Garden Seafood restaurant...cheap and good esp. the century egg porridge. Love it! Also tried Hakka mee, ipoh hor fun, curry mee, laksa and ice cream float ice cream with bandung which the coffee shop claimed to have sold this ice cream for over 30 years. There's a drink called Sar Lei Juice or the UMBRA which is very refreshing and good! Two thumbs up!

The location of the hotel is not convenient to anything. We took a taxi to a local shopping center (~10 minutes), but the other times my aunt or uncle picked us up. There were no shops/restaurants within walking distance (except for the hotel shops/restaurants). The caves in Ipoh were great, but cannot be reached very conveniently from any hotel in Ipoh.

We found that there wasn't a lot to see in Ipoh itself, but this may be due to the fact that the tourist office was closed on the day we were there - so could not get any walking tour brochures.
We had a hire car so drove the the following places:
We visited Kellie's castle - highly recommended.
We went to Tempurung caves. We took the short Golden Flow tour. The cave does other longer, more adventurous trips, you need to take a change of clothes for these!
