During the Holidays, my family went to Ipoh, Malaysia for a trip.
During the trip, we had many interesting experiences. One of it was when we went to visit the limestone caves in Ipoh. Ipoh is surrounded with many limestone caves, some of which are also cave temples. We were able to visit some of the caves, namely "Gua Tempurung" and "Goddess of Mercy Cave". I was fascinated at the interior of the limestone caves, and was also intrigued by nature.

Another place we visited was the back alleys of Ipoh. The back alleys of Ipoh has recently became a tourist attraction, as there were many murals. These murals are very interesting, and meaningful. Unlike the murals you see in other countries, the murals in Ipoh portrays the cultures of many different races, and also the activities that people engage in during the olden days.

One of the most memorable trips I had was when we visited Kuala Gula, and learnt more about the rearing of soft shell crabs. We learnt about the shedding system of soft shell crabs.

Apart from that, we were able to participate in clam digging in the mud flats. It was a fun experience and the raw clams were indeed really delicious!

Overall, our trip to Ipoh was a fruitful and meaningful one. I hope to be able to learn more about Ipoh the next time I visit!
