Insightful Tour at Han Chin Pet Soo

The guided tour at Han Chin Pet Soo was outstanding, vividly bringing the tin-mining history of Ipoh to life. Once a private club for Hakka miners, the house displays their achievements alongside the more challenging aspects of the time. The exhibits on opium and prostitution stood out, illustrating how entrenched these vices were in the miners' lives. Meanwhile, the tour clearly explains the resilience and contributions of the Hakka community. Engaging and immersive, it offers an honest view of history, avoiding any oversimplification. A must-see in Ipoh.
