35 days in Taiping Itinerary

The green city of Taiping remains one of the country's most innovative cities--it established Malaysia's first museum, first railway, and first newspaper.

Explore Taiping's surroundings by going to Kuala Kangsar (Oldest Rubber Tree, Dataran Vespa, &more), St. George's Anglican Church (in George Town) and Perai (Megamal Pinang & Penang Bird Park). Plan for a day of cool, family-friendly fun on the 26th (Tue) at The Carnivall Waterpark. There's much more to do: get engrossed in the history at Perak Museum, stroll the grounds of Taiping War Cemetery, get outside with Teluk Nipah, and step off the mainland to explore Bukit Merah Orang Utan Island Foundation.
