Malaysia Travel Perak Ipoh - Concubine Lane Ipoh Perak 二奶巷 (2022 0809)

Locate: Lorong Hale, Market Lane & Lorong Panglima

With an interesting history of more than 120 years attached to it, the Concubine Lane in Ipoh is one of the most visited lanes in the area bustling with cafes, pop up stalls, souvenir shops, and dessert houses.

According to the locals, the mining tycoon Yau Tet Shin gave one street to each of his three wives. The wives would make money by collecting rent from the shops along their streets.

Nowadays, the wife lanes and Second Concubine Lane are rather quiet and unpopular, but the First Concubine Lane itself is a must-visit place in Ipoh.

The Concubine Lane was formerly reputed for being a quaint old corner in the city with its coffee shops, but today the lane has been completely transformed, and is now jam-packed on weekends. The lane is full of interesting stalls to check out, and is indeed a paradise for Instagram bloggers, photographers, and even for the general wanderer.
