1. Anjung Nombor. 69 - Rumah Gopeng.
If you’re looking a place where you can feel the ‘kampung’ vibe, then you should go with this! The environment, the house, the room, you’ll feel like you’re having your own ‘rumah kampung’.
RM25 per night. You can rent a bicycle for RM10 per day.

Basically, aku ke Gopeng memang niat aku untuk chill dan menyendiri. Jadi, memang aku taknak havoc places yang tak menyenangkan. Jadi aku pilih untuk duduk dekat sini dan santai.
2. Museum Gopeng is located at Pekan Gopeng.
Closed on Wednesday and Thursday. It’s a place where you can find all the vintage stuffs and Gopeng history. Free admission.
Ada satu lagi Heritage House of Gopeng or something. Tapi hanya buka Sabtu dan Ahad. Memandangkan Sabtu aku akan ke Ipoh, jadi aku tak sempat pergi sana.
3. Gaharu Tea Valley
You’ll need a transport to go here. But you can take a taxi but you need to ask them to fetch you back at the Gaharu Tea Valley. It’ll cost you around RM20- RM30 (round trip). Try to negotiate as much as you can. It’s just around 15 - 20 minutes away from Pekan Gopeng.
Gaharu Tea Valley serves you a really beautiful view. You need to pay RM10 for the van tour (minimum 2 person) but if you’re alone, don’t worry. All you gotta do is just wait for other visitor to come. (That's what I do). The view from the hill is so nice. It’s so quiet and yet, you’ll feel so fresh. Unfortunately, it is a short tour. I think around 10 minutes per stop. You’ll not going to have enough time to explore more.
Aku tak sempat pergi Gua Tempurung. Too bad, tak sempat. Cos I spent i think 1 hour dekat Pekan Gopeng before I went to Gaharu Tea Valley. Gua Tempurung tutup pukul 4pm. It’s okay. Next time.
IPOH
Aku check out dalam pukul 10 macam tu. Bus stop depan rumah sahaja. Jadi aku naik bus ke Ipoh. Hanya RM3.10 sahaja.
1. Chokodok Reggae House.
I booked earlier from booking.com. It'll cost you RM20 for a single room. Highly recommended for backpackers. If i'm not mistaken, dorm will cost you around RM15 per person. The room was nice and the place is strategic. Located near Nasi Ganja restaurant. Just opposite. And easy access to everywhere.
2. Sightseeing around Bandar Ipoh.
Mural arts, the old-designed building, the place was just nice. It's not too busy but not as calm as Gopeng. But still, better than KL. haha.
3. Gua Tambun Cave Painting.
This is the infamous place (which I don't know why) but the place is.... amazing. You need to walk past the polo field or something then you need to climb up the stairs. its not really high. but when you reach up there, you'll feel like, its a new world up here. (Even the locals didn't know it exist!)
4. Pasar Loken.
You can find almost everything! From old LP players, old cassettes, old cds, too many old vintage stuff. But they have new stuffs as well but because I like old and vintage stuffs so, yeah. I spent RM150 for an used cassettes player, used speaker, converse shoe, 2 used old cameras, and Ebiet G Ade cassette. But you'll need to go early in the morning.
5. Kek Look Tong Temple.
You can see several temples around Gunung Rapat area. But Kek Look Tong Temple is so beautiful. The view is everything!
6. Plan B/Kong Heng.
Its just a place where you can find cafes, souvenir shops and it's nice place to take photos.
Sebenarnya aku dah malas nak menaip ni haa. aku belanja gambar je lah. kehkeh :D
Tapi, apa pun yang penting, trip aku ke Perak adalah trip yang sangat menggembirakan dan trip pembuka 2017 yang baik. New environment, new faces, I’ve met few new friends. Best!
Next trip? Hehehe. Tunggu~
