Papan, which has existed for over 100 years, thrived during the tin mining boom and is one of the oldest towns in the Kinta Valley, spanning an area of 28.7 hectares. It is often dubbed a ghost town as it is now quiet and neglected.
The town of Papan, located in the Batu Gajah district, deserves recognition as a World Heritage Site by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO)
