Concubine Lane

Ipoh Most Charming Heritage Street

Located in the heart of Ipoh Old Town, Concubine Lane is a narrow, lively alley bursting with history, charm, and colour. Once believed to be where wealthy Chinese tycoons kept their mistresses during the tin-mining boom, the lane has now transformed into one of Ipoh’s most popular attractions.

Today, visitors can stroll past restored heritage shophouses that now host quirky cafés, souvenir stalls, vintage boutiques, and street food vendors. The lane comes alive on weekends with crowds, street art, and local crafts—offering a blend of nostalgia and modern flair.

Whether you’re shopping for handmade trinkets, sipping iced white coffee, or snapping photos against pastel-colored walls and murals, Concubine Lane is a must-see for anyone exploring Ipoh’s old-world charm.
