Perak Tong Temple

Perak Tong Temple north of Ipoh is a vast limestone cave temple filled with Buddha statues, murals and incense, set into the karst hills that define the Kinta Valley. Climb internal stairs to a summit lookout for basin views over Ipoh’s whitewashed townscape. Come for cool cave halls, vivid colour against rock walls, and a classic Ipoh temple-and-limestone pairing. Wear modest clothing and comfortable shoes for the ascent. Pace yourself on the humid climb and carry water—the summit lookout ranks among Ipoh’s widest free limestone panoramas.
