Jalan Bandar Timah is a street in downtown Ipoh, Perak. It is one of the main streets in town. Jalan Bandar Timah is today a one-way street. Traffic enters at Persiaran Bijeh Timah in the south, and emerges at Jalan Tun Sambanthan in the north, across from Hala Timah. Hala Timah was once part of Jalan Bandar Timah. It was given the name Hala Timah in around 2016, for the stretch where traffic is from the opposing direction. Jalan Bandar Timah intersects with Persiaran Bijeh Timah, Jalan Koo Chong Kong, Jalan Othman Talib, Jalan Sultan Iskandar, Lorong Market, Jalan Market, Concubine Lane, Jalan Panglima and Lorong Hale.
Jalan Bandar Timah was originally known as Leech Street. It was named after J.M.B. Leech, the District Officer of Kinta. That name is transliterated into Chinese as 列治街 and pronounced in Cantonese as Lit Zi Gaai.
Jalan Bandar Timah is one of the major eating streets in Ipoh. There are a few coffee shops here that do very good business especially during lunch time.
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While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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.
