Ipoh Railway Station was our first stop in Ipoh.
The whole white building is fronted by a beautifully landscaped garden. From far, the building is gracefully in sync with the backdrop. Compared to the Old Kuala Lumpur Railway Station, both myself and the camera guy think that Ipoh Railway Station is more unique, perhaps it’s due to the well-crafted surroundings.
The Majestic Station Hotel Ipoh is the 2-star budget hotel on the 2nd and 3rd floor of Ipoh Railway Station, and it’s where our beds would be too.
Our rooms were on the 3rd floor, and it opened out to a 200-metre long verandah.
Though the rooms didn’t look like the deluxe rooms in any city hotel, but to us, it’s so worth staying for such a great back-in-time experience, and an exclusive atmosphere that was created through history.
Because of the announcement at the train station was still going up until nearly 3am, so my first night sleep was a little uneasy. For those light sleepers, this could be one great disadvantage of staying at The Majestic.
Another quick note for car travelers who would love to experience the unique stay at The Majestic is, to park your car at the parking space that is located on the side of the railway station. If your car was parked in any parking space on the garden side, you’d get a parking ticket in less than 5 minutes.
Ipoh, a small city within the valley, has quite a fickle weather…
Our afternoon schedule was delayed by a sudden shower, and it came fast and a little unexpected.
After a quick lunch at Woolley Food City, we followed Harry to the Old Town, an area where most heritage buildings are located.

For being a real sight-seer, we’d spent a whole afternoon in the Old Town area, and the biggest reward was a great discovery, it was Rojak Ipoh. A great local snack that can’t be missed out if you’re happened to be here.

Watching the night-fall at the railway station was magnificent.
Soon, the darkness was escalating, and the surrounding activities started to decline.
At last, the presence of this building was only accompanied by the engine sound of the coming and leaving train…
