Lorong Market (三奶巷), Ipoh

Lorong Market, Ipoh (3 May, 2016)


Lorong Market, or Market Lane, is an alley in the Old Town of Ipoh. It connects Jalan Bijeh Timah to Jalan Sultan Yusuf. The lane is also intersected by Jalan Bandar Timah.

Lorong Market is known in Chinese as 三奶巷 (Mandarin Pinyin: Sān Nǎi Xiàng, Cantonese Jyutping: Saam1 Naai5 Hong6) meaning the third wife's lane. This is where the rich men of old in Ipoh housed their third wife, and that rich man in question is quite likely Yau Tet Shin, the Chinese tin miner who developed Ipoh New Town.

About this website

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While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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.

To get to know me better, do follow me on Facebook!
