Ipoh Art & Music Charity Festival

This Ipoh Art & Music Charity Festival was held at Shen Jai High School on 29th October.  The main sponsor was Kiwanis Gopeng and the main organisers were Joyous Music Centre and Eratechnology.  The Guest of Honour was Dr Lee Boon Chye. The Organising Chairlady was Ms Veronica Leong.

Here are some of the artwork.  I am very impressed with their digital paintings printed on canvas.

Surprises at the Kinta Riverfront.

 At the Kinta Riverfront where the first Chinese immigrants landed by boat.  The Kinta River is a tributary of the Perak River.  

A welcoming Ipoh signage for the Instagrammers.

A pretty eatery with a gallery of tin mining pictures of old. 

An amusement park with river crafts and electric powered cycles for rent. 

Surprising discovery that the land here is just next to Taman DR!  Here is a photo of an upcoming lakeside building and platform at Taman DR.  

Alfresco dining.  The food here must be pretty good as I could see several Grab riders waiting for their orders.

Hmm ....... a toy gallery.  Macham2 pun ada di sana!

Ah ....... a cafe. Will definitely buy coffee the next visit.  

Another art gallery.  

Even a barber shop to make us look good.

Some very fascinating sights worthy of a revisit soon.
