On April 19th, 2013, Agoda.com announced Ipoh as one of their Top 10 Asia Travel Cities. The list was based on several criteria: bookings of hotels on their site, comments about the places, along with professional consultation from local experts.
According to the website, some of the reasons Ipoh was chosen is due to its authentic, delicious, and tantalizing food, as well as its famous cave temples and other natural limestone formations.
The town of Ipoh also features exciting outdoor activities, making it great for nature lovers. Jungle trekking, rafting, river cruising, landmark visiting and hot spring retreats are all on the agenda for the adventurous.
The website also highly recommends a stay at The Banjaran Hotspring Retreat during your visit to Ipoh. Agoda.com’s list reflects the ever-growing worldwide interest in visiting exotic and alluring places throughout Asia that aren’t commonly frequented by travellers.
Agoda.com is a global online hotel platform website used to book hotel accommodation. Other Asian cities that have made the list are:
- Tana Toraja, South Sulawesi, Indonesia
- Nantou County, Taiwan
- Ella Town, Sri Lanka
