It is located in the upper reaches of the Kinta River Valley, at the western foot of the peninsula's mountain range. The Kinta Valley is one of Malaysia's leading tin-producing areas, and Ipoh developed as its center. There are many ponds and marshes scattered around the city, which are the remains of tin mines. As the center of tin trading, Ipoh is a lively commercial city, and many wealthy Chinese merchants live there.
