Perak Tong Cave Temple, Perak, Malaysia

4.0 (457 reviews) Spent 1-2 hours Ranking #7 in Perak Points of Interest & Landmarks • Caverns & Caves • Religious Sites

Must go and fun!

Perak Cave Temple is located around 15 minutes ride from downtown Ipoh. The natural cave is the temple itself with statues and wall paintings of Buddha and Bodhisattvas. Therefore, the temple earns the name of "Dunhuang in the South". Following the passage of the cave, it will lead you to the apex of the hill where you can enjoy the views around. A peaceful and culture-rich religious site to visit. Recommend it.

    A good temple to visit
    A short Grab ride will bring you to the temple. Would recommend this one if you are short on time. Nice paintings on walls. If you want you can climb to the top of the mountain. Its steep. I didnt do it but my son assures me its is wort the doing it. When you come into the temple you will see a table with tiles on it manned by a couple of ladies. They are collecting donations to improve the temple and the viewing point above the cave. I suggested that perhaps having a sign in English may help. They need to raise a lot of money so if you can help please contribute.

    Excellent climb through caves
    The cave is very nice, you can climb up a lot of steps through the cave and you can get a view for a long way. It is a 15/20 min bus ride from Ipoh Medan Kidd bus station (beside the railway station). Take the T31 or the 35 and they drop off not far away. Bus costs 1.30 RM each way.
