MENTION Gopeng and people will more often than not associate it with Gua Tempurung, which is the largest limestone cave in Peninsular Malaysia and popular with spelunkers.

Or they may think of its historic ties to well-known names such as Chinese revolutionary leader Dr Sun Yat Sen as well as the traditional Chinese medicine and health and wellness company Eu Yan Sang, which has its origins here in a shop opened by Eu Kong in the 19th century.
