Concubine Ln — Attraction in Perak

I have to agree with some of the comments here—haha, it's definitely a bit overrated and too touristy for my taste. Somehow, this spot doesn't live up to my expectations. Despite being the most famous street in Ipoh, it's hard to say that it truly represents the entire city.

Bought her book called ' How you know?' again. Not looking forward to reading the last page. So sad. Great book for you if love...
