#malaysia #travel #tourism ☕ Please help support my channel by buying me a coffee here: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/willetts... Thank you! 🙏 Here, I travel to the historical town of Taiping in Perak State after coming down from Penang Island. It’s the second largest town in Perak after the states capital, Ipoh, and it’s said to be the wettest town in peninsula Malaysia as it receives between 3,000 to 4,000mm of rain a year! Taiping was one of the first towns in Malaya to be developed by the British and this is reflected in the grandeur of some of its architecture thanks to the discovery of tin in the area. It quickly became the tin capital of Perak state until it was surpassed by Ipoh. The mines attracted large numbers of settlers, particularly Chinese. Feuds began between the different groups and things became so bitter that in the early 1870s, the British intervened and assumed control of the town. With the town developing so quickly, it became known as the ‘Town of firsts.’ It can boast having the country's first museum, first prison, first Anglican church, the first hill station, Maxwell Hill (which unfortunately I couldn't get to due to landslides), the first railway line (from Taiping to Port Weld), the first English language schools as well as having the oldest public park in Malaysia. 0:00 - Intro 1:42 - History 2:48 - Perak Museum 4:53 - Taiping Prison 5:22 - All Saints Church 5:59 - Padang Esplanade 8:14 - The Residency 9:09 - Dataran Warisan 10:21 - Telegraph Museum 12:20 - Town Rest House 12:57 - Town Centre 16:00 - Old Railway Station 17:39 - Antong Coffee Mill 19:42 - Lake Gardens 21:00 - Taiping Zoo 24:43 - Burmese Pool Locations of the places visited in this video are as follows: 📍 Perak Museum: https://maps.app.goo.gl/jm1Zkoo9gH5AP... 📍 Taiping Prison: https://maps.app.goo.gl/oBwGuZYhoSgd7... 📍 All Saints Church: https://maps.app.goo.gl/3kK66SixnK7VX... 📍 Padang Esplanade: https://maps.app.goo.gl/xzNJaXF334T2N... 📍 The Residency: 4.859055954603445, 100.74884971978832 📍 Dataran Warisan: https://maps.app.goo.gl/yeznmML4jQBCT... 📍 Telegraph Museum: https://maps.app.goo.gl/vvDEVfVyLe8Pn... 📍 Town Rest House: https://maps.app.goo.gl/jyFhWSeC1Tear... 📍 Town Centre: https://maps.app.goo.gl/RopqLuYfdMTrX... 📍 Old Railway Station: https://maps.app.goo.gl/KuuK4zMk7nZa8... 📍 Antong Coffee Mill: https://maps.app.goo.gl/1SiyqTKBKu5aC... 📍 Lake Gardens: https://maps.app.goo.gl/GEKwPaJi9mD8z... 📍 Taiping Zoo: https://maps.app.goo.gl/GEKwPaJi9mD8z... 📍 Burmese Pool: https://maps.app.goo.gl/Wihb6gi6GrzQp...
