Sam Poh Temple, Cameron Highlands

Nice, simple temple, but needs a bit of TLC. A lot of construction materials lying around, and seems a little neglected… with loads of dogs lying around and Beware of the Dog signs (though they seemed totally docile and non-threatening if given distance). We arrived just before closing and so it was all pretty empty; there is nothing to do in terms of read and learn, so not a great tourist visit. But it has some impressive statutes and worth a 15 minute visit en route to somewhere else in the Brinchang area.

The Sam Poh Temple is a must-visit destination for those interested in exploring the local culture and history. Its detailed architecture and beautiful surroundings are truly mesmerizing. Visitors can admire the giant statues of Buddha, the colorful murals, and the intricate carvings that adorn the temple walls. The serene atmosphere of the temple makes it a perfect place for quiet contemplation and relaxation. The temple is located near other popular tourist spots in Cameron Highlands and, as mentioned before, is definitely worth a visit.

This is a lovely temple. As you would expect, it is serene and calming, despite the little puppies running around (watch where you step!). It is well maintained despite what other reviewers have stated. It is active too as worshippers (forgive this expression from a non-Buddhist!) were in attendance for most of our visit. There are a number of rooms to explore for you to be wowed by the extraordinary statues. I’d love it if, when uneducated foreigners like myself visit, we’d be offered assistance with a little bit of what each figure represents so that we’d leave with a little more understanding. Perhaps it’s just me!

I think this is a largest Chinese temple in Cameron Highland. Free entrance, easily to get parking space. Majority for Chinese tourist or Chinese people come for pray. I think also is a good place for foreigner to understand about Chinese culture here.

A Buddhist temple built in 1976. Very well maintained and it's very clean.
