-Homeland Taiping-

Taiping is a town located in Larut Matang and Selama District, Perak, Malaysia. It is located approximately 48 km northwest of Ipoh, the capital of Perak, and 78 km southeast of George Town, Penang. With a population of 245,182 (in 2013, it is the second largest town in Perak after Ipoh, the state capital. Taiping took over Kuala Kangsar's role as the state capital from 1876 to 1937, but was then replaced by Ipoh. Its growth slowed down after that, but in recent years the town has been developing rapidly again. Perak State Museum is located in the town.

Being a person born in Taiping, it has always been my comfort zone and my favourite place to be. Taiping Is known for its peace and delicious Kuey Teow Goreng. My favourite spot in Taiping will be Cashier Market where it has the most delicious ABC, Kuey Teow Goreng and many other food. Tourists enjoy visiting the Lake Garden as it’s a beautiful place to chill in the evening and at night. Other than that, people in Taiping get to taste the best coffee as there is a coffee mill which has been operating over 30 years.

I will definitely recommend people to visit my hometown, Taiping at least once. There’ll be definitely no regrets because Taiping is where both your tummy and heart will be fulfilled.
