Paloh Ku Miao (Old Paloh Chinese Temple), Ipoh, Perak, Malaysia

Paloh Ku Miao (GPS: 4.59328, 101.0788) which means the Old Paloh Chinese Temple, is said to be the oldest Chinese temple in Ipoh. It is located in Kampung Paloh, on the west bank of the Kinta River, just south of Hugh Low Bridge.

Paloh Ku Miao is believed to have been founded in 1872, although the present temple building dates to no earlier than 1894. One of the benefactors of the temple was local richman Yau Tet Shin.

The compound in front of the temple used to be known as People's Park. It was where the people of Ipoh came for recreation. Today, however, it only serves as a parking lot.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
