Taiping Day Trip - Off the beaten track (unique experience only at Taiping)
We visited Taiping lately and decided on a unique itinerary. Instead of visiting the typical touristy places, we manage to make an appointment with the owner of three family businesses. They graciously invited us to visit their factories and allowed us to film the process of producing authentic Chinese biscuits, milling the Nanyang coffee, and making charcoal the traditional way.
You can contact them to visit the factories. Here are the details: MY Charcoal Factory Kuala Sepetang Address: Jalan Taiping - Kuala Sepetang, Kuala Sepetang, 34650 Kuala Sepetang, Perak Opening hours: 10 am to 5 pm daily Phone: +6012-428 6098 Contact: KY Chuah
