The Ipoh Eu Yan Sang Medical Hall (GPS: 4.59426, 101.0775) is located at Nos. 36-38 Jalan Bandar Timah (formerly Leech Street). It is one of the many Chinese medical halls established by tin miner Eu Kong, and then greatly expanded by his son Eu Tong Sen.
The first Eu Yan Sang opened in Gopeng in 1879. Next came the branches in Ipoh and Kampar in 1881. The Eu Yan Sang building in Ipoh was erected in 1907. Under the leadership of Eu Tong Sen, Eu Yan Sang became one of the most famous Chinese medical halls. Today the Eu Yan Sang main office is at South Bridge Road in Singapore.
Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.
While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
