Lorong Market (三奶巷), Ipoh

Lorong Market, IpohLorong 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



Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
