Trip - Ipoh - Day 3 - Qing Xin Ling 清心陵

Good Morning Blog,

Third day already, we packed up our luggages and emotions leaving the Ian's homestay. Our last place to visit was Qing Xin Ling Leisure & Cultural village 清心陵 (official website), which is highly recommended from Google search and praised by the locals. (Read on their feedbacks)

Reached Qing Xin Ling area, the beautiful mountains and rock formations, were impressive.

It is Ipoh famous tourists spot and since we visited this place on Monday, so we won't expect any crowds.

To control the traffic, you may have to purchase tickets from one of the shops, 500-700m away outside Qing Xin Ling. (location for ticket purchase)

After tickets purchase, the staff passed us a piece of drawn map of that place, It can't tell much unless there are some representing pictures of the place; but effort appreciated.

We were greeted by a big lotus pond

Yes Picture of the lotus

It looked like a temple here.

A guide lead us in, through this gate to the entrance of Qing Xin Ling.

A free hat for the trip

but Please return it after used.

First stop we will find an old classic transportation

You can take the bicycles (FREE) to trip around Qing Xin Ling.

for me, I went up the bus and enjoyed to be part of the past.

Your bus captain of the old day

Hello to my passengers if there was/is any. XD

We marched out with our choice of transportation

Quite interesting to have four people sharing a bike which I don't see it a lot nowadays

You will see many colourful houses where...

There were 3D or old painting of lifestyle of Malaysians in the past

Nice paint

Riding bicycle and merged with the painting

Meow

PULL! hahaha!

Too bad I didn't have my drone with me, if not, this picture will be easily taken with me in it.

Famous roti prata

Or pouring of milk tea to impress customers

Where you may interact with the paintings

but I found this quiet and peaceful

and... A LOT OF MOSQUITOES!

And old us

is there anything which triggered your nostalgic feel?

for me, is the black disc record. :)

Filming station

Did you see the size of the TV in the past?

Wow nice sheltered bicycle, where is my lady in this ride?

Hahaha it seemed like XX was having fun here

Nice wooden swing :D just keep on swinging

Where is everyone while I was feeding mosquitoes

interesting message to share

Translate: "Let others have a chance; give our blessing and good merit to others too, hence sharing is the beautiful gesture and attitude." (from lousy translation from Jeff)

Someone was burning there... Looked like a way to get compost and chase the mosquitoes of temporary solution.

Thanks JY for helping, now I am a prisoner.

Hahaha Mrs Z decided to have fun with the plot and this was one of my funniest memory during the trip

Feeling great to sit behind this table and thanks Justice Bao for allowing me to sit here

My turn to be fair, not biased and equal judgement on cases.

Another house which between the mountain

3D painting :D

Thank you Great Teacher

and study hard

I am legend!

Let's cook together!

SMile JC!

XX and ZD smile!

Beautiful scenery like a small village

Is there something melting?

Look at the old coffee shop setting

ANCIENT FRIDGE!

Want a cup of coffee?

Hello yes? Yes! I am ordering something.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN NO STOCK?!

Some random items stored here

Have you seen anything familiar?

The closest end to the cave

Selling meal here

OOOOOO 12 Chinese zodiacs

a picture with My Great Teacher. :)

There are some more up the hill but we don't have anymore time already

I shall stop here

Hahaha T, yes we are one big family!

Thank you everyone!

Overall, take note that don't try to visit that place during noon time because it will be scalding and sunny; and be prepared to protect yourself from mosquito bites and sunburn.

It was a nice place to first-time visit for people who loves photography. Going with friends of the same interests will bring joys to spice up the motionless place.

We will end our Ipoh trip after lunch, a bit of last min shopping to spend our remaining money and to airport.

See you again, Ipoh! Here is my thought about this trip. Anyway, I will be back for the trip I always want to go!
