Many attractive places that can be visited, of course not as many as Kuala Lumpur, but there are quite a number. Ipoh is the capital city of Perak and is situated by the Kinta River. It is a multicultural City Ipoh has many tourist destinations and it has been significantly boosted due to the efforts to conserve its British colonial-era architecture.

2) Pulau Pangkor

For the locals, I'm sure everybody has heard of Pangkor Island. Pangkor consists of nine islands, however only two of them are occupied or inhabited named Pulau Pangkor and Pangkor Laut. Pangkor Island is famous for the beaches situated there such as Teluk Nipah, Coral Bay and Teluk Belanda. People get attracted to go to this island because of it's white sandy beaches and clear sea. There are other sight seeing places that can be visited other than the beaches, namely The Dutch Fort, Tiger Rock, The Chinese Foo-Lin Kong temple, fishing villages and many more. however the most famous local product in Pangkor is the ikan bilis ( anchovies ) and other dried fish products that are somehow irresistible to locals.
