Travel: Museum Gopeng, Ipoh (Also known as Gopeng Heritage House)

Hi All,

Welcome back to yet another edition of Travel and today we bring you another nice and entertaining place here at Ipoh. We bring you slightly north about 25 minutes drive from Ipoh town lies a small mining town of Gopeng. Here there's a few tourist attraction that I would recommend you to visit. Today we bring you to Gopeng town to see the Museum Gopeng which is situated at one of the shoplots in Gopeng. It was then run by a group of volunteers and it only opens on weekends Saturday and Sunday only.

Inside the museum, one can actually spend about 1 hour enjoying the photography session or to take a look at the history of Gopeng and as well as the historical equipments that was used back in 50-60 years ago. This museum has 2 1/2 storey and after you have seen the antiques over there, you can also have a short break by having their 'Guai Ling Gao' Herbal Jelly over there. It's very nice taste and it costs about RM2.00 per cup.

There are 2 separate Museum in Gopeng that was run by the same group of volunteers. One museum is displaying the ancient 50-60's home equipments such as desk, chairs, clock, beds, makeup tables and many more. Another museum is displaying some history and facts on the mining and the business that was operated in Gopeng back in the 50-60's. This museum is quite small if compared to another ones. Both museum is located quite nearby to each other and if you are not sure, do ask the friendly volunteers at either museum to help you out to reach the destination.

I would strongly recommend you to come over to visit the Gopeng Museum. It was fun, educational and then interesting trip down there to Gopeng and discover their historical moments over there.
