Perak Tong Cave Temple Editorial Image

Perak Tong Cave Temple is one of the oldest and most beautifully preserved temple in Ipoh. Within the huge limestone caves of Gunung Tasik, this temple was built in 1926 by Buddhists priests from China. The temple houses over 40 Buddha statues with the centrepiece being a 12.8-metre high sitting Buddha. The cave sits at the foot of a 120m high limestone outcrop – one of several hills in the area – behind a simple but pretty garden, decorated with lotus ponds, pavilions, pagodas and two bell towers.
