Hidden Paradises in Perak DISCOVERED! [Part 1]

I just took a short vacation to explore more on Perak states in Malaysia. It was a wonderful trip full of surprise and stunning views in Perak, Malaysia.

Instead of driving up there, we took a train from KL Central to Ipoh Railway Station. The journey is about 2 hours and along the railway, you can discover a lot scenery you are not able to see by taking the highways.

                                                                 Ipoh railway station



This stunning train station was the same architecture of the Ipoh City Town Hall and Mosque Ubudiah by A.B Hubback, a british architect.

In front of the railway station, there is Ipoh City Town Hall which previously was used as police station.

Under the stage there is a tunnel link to the High Court, due to this place was used as police station, the tunnel was to let criminals to go to the court for hearing. The tunnel is closed and beneath under the stage now.

                                                                The Gallery Sultan Azlan Shah

The former palace of Sultan Perak, located in Kuala Kangsar, originally built in 1898 and completed in 1903 and this place is know as Royal Town as well. This gallery is open to public to visit now.

I never know we have such a beautiful palace in this country and this is only one of them. Stay tuned and i will show you guys more.

Then we come to this Masjid Ubudiah situated in Kuala Kangsar as well. It is one of the most beautiful mosque in the world and it was built during the first world war.

As mentioned earlier, this was design by the british architect A.B Hubback. It is now maintain by the Royal Family, no doubt, it is really well maintained. inside the mosque it is all marble, when the muslim praying in the mosque, it is always cooling no matter how hot it is outside.

Next palace : Istana Kenangan , soon to be a museum. This was a temporary palace for Sultan Iskandar Shah while waiting the another palace to be built up. The interesting part of this palace was it build without a single nail. 

Upon completion of Istana Iskandariah, this palace was used to host royal receptions and where the palace guests stayed. Due to the maintenance and turn to be museum, if you found any nails in the palace it is reasonable.
