Workation in Ipoh: the essentials
Tin paid for the colonial shophouses of Ipoh, the capital of Perak, a city of about 760,000 on the Kinta River. It sits on the main north-south rail line, nearly 200 km north of Kuala Lumpur and 150 km south-east of George Town, so rail and the North-South Expressway make it easy to reach. Limestone hills ring the city, some hollowed into Buddhist cave temples, and the Cameron Highlands are roughly 90 km away on a winding road. Malaysians know it above all for food: white coffee, bean sprout chicken and dim sum, plus the restored streets of the Old Town around Concubine Lane. It is a family city that closes early, with few other long-stay visitors, and the small airport, about 4 km out, has limited routes.
