Concubine Lane (Ipoh)



Blogged about my short trip to Ipoh on February 2017. It was a weekend visit to my dear’s family at Ipoh. This blog I will mention about our visit to Concubine Lane. It is known as 二奶 in Chinese.  It is a lane alike with Georgetown Penang, where there are souvenir shops, cafes, clothing stores etcetera.  Concubine Lane is a 120 years old lane at Old Town Ipoh and is part of Ipoh Heritage Trail. It is slowly becoming famous attraction among locals and tourists since last year after much reconstruction and shops booming in the narrow lane. Concubine Lane is just adjacent to Old Town Ipoh. As all of us know that Old Town Ipoh is famous for a lot of eateries and souvenir shops for Ipoh biscuits etcetera, why not drop by Concubine Lane to get a stroll and feel the heritage trail after your full meal (exercise to burn more calories, so you can eat more later xD). Let’s follow us to the journey to Concubine Lane, the famous lane adjacent to Old Town Ipoh!

Bird nest taufufa for skin nourishment after a long walk

There are a lot of colorful shoplots along the Concubine Lane. All of them are double storeys shoplots. Some of the souvenir shops have basement floor to display all the souvenirs for sell, and upper floor to display the antiques and cute galleries for tourists to take photo. Since Concubine Lane is a heritage lane, you can venture into some shops and have a look on the antiques which ancient people used them for living. Parents can bring their kids to have fun in this place too, as they can reminisce their old times with the other half as well as show to the younger generation for fun and learning purpose too! Don't forget to buy drinks and small titbits too after long hours walk and hot sunny day especially in Ipoh. There are cotton candies, all sorts of drinks and small eateries along the Concubine Lane. However, the one captured my attention the most is taufufa that comes with bird nest topping! Not only is nice, but is good for skin too, so for me, is a must have! Especially when it is affordable.
