PERAK TRIP 2019 - QING XIN LING LEISURE & CULTURAL VILLAGE [2] 清心嶺休闲文化村

QING XIN LING LEISURE & CULTURAL VILLAGE [2], what we did when we visited this leisure village was moving around, busy snapping photos with our mobile, curious of what next that we get to see as we walk the path from the entrance. This section is the inner area of the village, there are steps to climb but manageable.  
Here, is a walk through nature and time.  Walking up the path, you would see more and more decade old kiosks and shops.  Depending on your age, each has its own resemblance and meaning but most you would not get to see now. 
Remembered the barber would place a wooden plank over the arm rest which  my brothers used to sit on
when having their haircut

This place with serene hills is suitable for the whole family, from young children and adults to the elderly as the activities are mild and non-strenuous. Families, young couples and groups of friends might enjoy an outing to this place.
If you have not visited this village, do visit it to enjoy a relaxing time, it is worth it.  A great place for walks, biking and pictures.  If I am from Ipoh, I would not mind visiting the place whenever possible as there are so much to see, understand and brings back fond memories of my younger days.

QING XIN LING LEISURE & CULTURAL VILLAGE [1] 清心嶺休闲文化村 was opened to tourists several year ago and later closed for a period of time before I had the chance to visit.  The reasons I will not discussed here.

Recently, an Ipoh friend informed that it has been reopened for visitors only during weekdays.  It is closed on Sunday and Public Holidays.  The entrance fee is RM5.00  but it is definitely worth a visit if you are in Ipoh. 
During my recent visit with a bus load of friends, our photos did not turned out well due to the haze.  But we did enjoy very much taking some comical photos and laughing over it back home.
Qing Xin Ling Village is a natural area combining culture and art displays with recreational activities such as biking and hiking.

A meaningful picture with my brother, the 2 Chinese characters 'Tai Yuan' represents our surname 'Ong'
There are numerous such placards, each one represents your Chinese surname here where you can hold or fix it above the door for photographing.
