Qing Xin Ling (清心嶺) Leisure & Cultural Village @ Ipoh

It was a short planned trip to visit Ipoh in the mid of the year. When I browsed for places of interest in Ipoh that I never visited, Qing Xin Ling Leisure & Cultural Village which was highly recommended by others was added to my list. I have not heard about this place until I google it. 

Qing Xin Ling Leisure & Cultural Village is located behind rows of residential houses. As this place becomes popular, cars and buses are jamming in that area, and the residents have lodged a complaint asking the owner to limit the visit pass in a day. But I have not seen any official statement about that. 

To go into Qing Xin Ling Leisure & Cultural Village, visitors have to buy the tickets at another place and enter via a small entrance next to the Chinese Temple. Kinda weird right? 

The map was given upon purchase of a ticket. The numbers indicate the places of interest to visit or for photography purposes.

Having a shot here at Number 5 stop: Bao Qing Tian (for those who watch Chinese drama, you will know who he is - the justice judge in ancient China who was famous with his dark face and moon sign on his forehead)

This place is not that big but fun to discover. The walkway around the lake is 8 -shaped. Two lakes at the opposite side.

We can see the fishes and tortoises swimming happily in the lake.

This is one end of the lake, next to the cave.

This is stop Number 6: Primitive man

You can find many great places to shoot your OOTD. Unfortunately, I did not dress up nicely as I more concerned about skin protection from the sun and mosquitoes.

This is stop number 9: Confucius Temple

Here is another end of the lake just next to the entrance/ exit. That's where I sit in my first picture above. If I told you I'm in China by posting up these pictures to other who have not visited this place, trust me, they will believe me 100%. LOL.

Here is stop number 4: Reminiscence 

The music machine still displays oldie song. To play an old song, you just need to insert RM 0.50 and select which to play from the menu.

There stop number 12: Guan Yin Statue 

stop number 11: Reminiscence (weird rocks collection, some appear in animal-shaped)

stop number 13: Qing Xin Bodhi Bell

Well, please do not miss this! I thought nothing else here until I climbed up the staircases which led up to a memory lane that is instagramable enough!

I like this small uphill lane that is very beautiful to take a shot. Unfortunately, my photographer is not well-trained yet to help me take photo.

An old barbershop decoration in memory lane

We spotted so much transportation inside which is free to play with. You can sit on the trishaw and ask your friend to pull you around. I really have fun with this. Here is the stop of number 2: the wishing tree.

This bike is not easy to pedal. You need to put very hard effort, especially on your leg to move it around. I would suggest taking the 2-side by side bike with shelter in red and yellow colour one. We spent about 2.5 hours here before we moved to other places.

To get the entrance ticket of Qing Xin Ling Leisure & Cultural Village:

To get the entrance ticket, you could not buy it at the temple there as they are not selling at that place. You need to proceed to Syarikat Perabot Kota first to purchase the ticket, if not, you have to waste petrol and time returning to Qing Xin Ling Leisure & Cultural Village.

That's the entrance ticket! Tell me your experience if you have been there before, in case I missed out on any :)
