The trip continued today with dim sum at Yok Fok Mun, actually was thinking to visit Ming Kok, the famous dim sum place in Ipoh, but the queue was crazily long.
While for Fok Shan, i tried it last year and just felt that place so so, hence i picked this rare place for tourists this time.
Surprisingly, the dim sum variety is good, and most of their dim sum is not too bad, another reason worth returning is the good price =)
After lunch, we went to get most of our souveniers, then only gone to the museum for a tour that i prebooked earlier.
Actually we also discovered another photo spot before we gone to the tour.
Then, we made a move for the tour. This tour only opened for 20 people each sessions, so advanced booking is necessary.
This tour is about the history of the old time mining activities in Ipoh, it was held at the Han Ching Pat Su, a well preserved traditional villa built in the 1900's.
The admission is free, but i really enjoyed the 1hr and half duration, the tour guide was putting a lot of effort and explained very detailed about the history.
I learnt lots of thing today, also discovered Ipoh was once known as the "world of Tin".
There are also alots of nice spot to take photo in this small but beautiful place.
Apparently, Han Ching Pat Su was only able to be accessed by Hakka people who involved in the Tin business, and this place remained closed to public until 2015.
There are plenty of old stuffs, such as this cool old day nescafe tin~
This place was well known as a place to gather the 4 main evils:
Besides, this museum also covered the stories about how our ancestor come all the way from China mainland to the south east.
I felt so grateful of their effort to travel continuously 7 days in a big packed ship!
Without their great effort, we would not likely to stay so happy and own all the nice things we having now.
Thank you!
These victorian tiles resembled i've been here!
After the tour, dad was thinking to have lunch but we were still full from the dim sum, so we decided to leave Ipoh before the jam started.
That's the end of our trip, short but fun, I really enjoyed this trip a lot =)
