Sungai Kinta is one of the main rivers in Perak. It is the river that flows through the state capital, Ipoh. The source of Sungai Kinta is somewhere at the foot of Gunung Yong Belar, near the border of Perak and Kelantan, in the upper reaches of the Ulu Kinta Recreational Forest.
Sungai Kinta flows through an area rich in tin ore, known as the Kinta Valley. This area has protruding limestone hills and karst outcrops, but due to tin mining over the past century, is today pockmarked with mining pools.
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.
