Paloh Ku Miao (Old Paloh Chinese Temple), Ipoh, Perak, Malaysia

Paloh Ku Miao (GPS: 4.59328, 101.0788) which means the Old Paloh Chinese Temple, is said to be the oldest Chinese temple in Ipoh. It is located in Kampung Paloh, on the west bank of the Kinta River, just south of Hugh Low Bridge.

Paloh Ku Miao is believed to have been founded in 1872, although the present temple building dates to no earlier than 1894. One of the benefactors of the temple was local richman Yau Tet Shin.

The compound in front of the temple used to be known as People's Park. It was where the people of Ipoh came for recreation. Today, however, it only serves as a parking lot.
