Few know about this incredible must-visit attraction in Ipoh. The Gua Tambun Cave Paintings consist of an estimated 600 images of humans, animals and shapes believed to be Malaysia’s most extensive collection of Neolithic art. After a British soldier accidentally stumbled upon the reddish-orange drawings in 1959, it took a few more decades for Ipoh City Council to declare them as a National Heritage in 1986. The images, believed to be between 2000 and 5000 years old, decorate the face of the limestone cliff. Sadly, the lower part has been vandalised. Reaching the rock art is challenging. Take a taxi or Grab to Caltex Petrol Station on the road towards Tambun. Walk along the lane towards the field, over a bridge and follow the signs up the steps to the limestone cave.
