IPOH TRIP (4 days3 nights) PART 4

Day 4

Sekeping Kong Heng
The last 2nd station we visit Sekeping Kong Heng, Sekeping Kong Heng in the charming old town of Ipoh , is the latest additional to the Sekeping family of retreats.

It is located in a 3 storey neo-classical building which also houses a famous coffee shop of same name on the ground floor that serves great coffee and the best local dishes in the town.

ALL effort has been made to preserve as much of the character of the existing building as possible in contrast to the surrounding new architecture interventions.

In addition, an extension has been added at the back , tucked away to reveal an inner courtyard with a dramatic stairway to take guests up to their rooms.

IS also used as a hostel to house theatre performers who performed in the adjacent theatre building that was burn down in the 50s.

last but not least, our sem 3 group photo (sorry being like a monkey XP )

Kellie's Castle

The last station is Kellie's Castle we went back to K.L , Upon entering the area i was dumbstruck by the view of the magnificent structure. Before entering and buying tickets you can read on the wall of the history of Kellie's Castle, a pic of the owner was also displayed. It was so very interesting that a house was built that way there in Perak!

I always think this is quite an interesting place to bring friends who visit me in Ipoh. The story behind this castle is a doctor showing his love for his wife. He wanted to build this castle for his wife who didn't live to see the completion of it.

The signage were clear, the story was well told, but it leave enough room for the imagination to wander, gives a glimpse to how the colonials lived at that time. The stories that the place is hunted adds to the romanticism of the mansion

It's a very big castle with a helicopter landing pad, surrounded by a river which use to be full of crocs. To get there we used to need to take boat across the river but now a bridge was built.

The building is unique with lots of secret doors and alleys; even there is a underground which is dark. Some said it lead to other parts of the house. Interesting architecture and history.
