Very beautiful, clean and peaceful temple inside cave. Easy to reach and the cave is well preserved, no foul smell unlike some other caves. It opens into a beautiful landscape harder which hosts a small pond. Need to visit before 4pm. Best part, it's cool inside, no matter how hot the outside weather is.. Magical!

This place is magnificent. From the entrance you will welcome with a grand Hall with Buddha for praying and beautiful limestone. Further up you will presented a paint like scenery with lake and beautifully crafted landscape. You can't resist to have taking photographs over and over again. The scenery gives you feels of peaceful. Make sure you visit Kek Lok Tong when you are at Ipoh.

Place is literally a cave. The formation is interesting and even majestic. They would put lamps to highlight certain parts of it. Some stalactites also continue to grow (you can see water dripping from their tips). There is no entrance fee to go there so it's a good thing if you just want to view the place. On the other side of the cave, there's a river where you can rent a boat with family and friends. There's also a rent-a-bike and fish feeding activities. Overall the place is worth visiting if you like to see nature. The rock formation of the cliffs around the area is also beautiful. But besides that, there is nothing much else to see or do. Except if you are there to worship, of course. They have sculptures of Buddha and other religious figures.

Nice place and nice view. This cave very clean, has been cared by the management very well. I can teach my child about stalactite and stalagmite. The view is awesome. Walk through the cave and straight to the lake. You can feeding the fish, rent a cycle, and paddle boat. RM 20 for 30 minit.

I came in the morning and it was such a peaceful experience. There's no entrance fee, however, you can donate to the temple. There is a list of projects situated beside the donation area that you can check out. The cave is just outstanding and very very clean. The huge garden out back was even more amazing! There are plenty of vending machines in case you get thirsty. Definitely recommend to visit for a peaceful experience.
