IPOH'S CONCUBINE LANE

 

IPOH: MCO2.0 brings the good and bad into our life. 

Let’s not talk about the bad ones. 

 

CONCUBINE LANE (LORONG PANGLIMA)

 

On the brighter note - I can go to any tourism spots without any hassle of traffic jam or no availability of parking space. 

 

CONCUBINE LANE (MARKET LANE)

 

This is the only time I can pose for personal photographs at Concubine Lane (Old Town). 

 

MARKET LANE

 

Guess what? I have never taken any personal photographs in Old Town.

 

POSING WITH A MURAL ART

 

History of Concubine Lane:

After a blaze destroy Ipoh Old Town in 1892, its lanes of shop were rebuilt (Market Lane). Three of these lanes became gifts from a mining tycoon, Yao Tet Shin, to his three wives. Locals named the lanes as Wife Lane (Lorong Hale), Concubine Lane (Lorong Panglima) and Second Concubine Lane (Market Lane).

Today the pre-war buildings located on these three lanes have been refurbished and transformed into a colorful tourism spot, in Ipoh.
