Kampong Kepayang: The Abandoned - Part 1


I have been passing by these old, abandoned shop houses a couple of times. This is an interesting place to explore and photograph – I love the place with a lot of history!



Kampong Kepayang, a former tin-mining town in the tin-rich Kinta Valley (Perak State, Malaysia). It’s consisting of two rows of pre-war shop houses, located just 13km south of Ipoh city. These shop houses exist since 1880s and it was once a live place – different shops and entertainment places, included prostitute house. It is now an almost abandoned place - a ghost town. Although there are still a few families living there and a few shops are still in operation.
