For history enthusiasts keen to explore the connection between Dr. Sun Yat Sen and Ipoh, Perak, this trail is a must-visit.

Dr. Sun Yat Sen himself visited Ipoh twice, and this trail marks significant historical sites and buildings connected to him and his supporters. Based on the book "Road to Revolution: Dr. Sun Yat Sen and His Comrades in Ipoh" by Sue Meng Chan, the trail provides a unique opportunity to delve deeper into this fascinating historical connection.
