Must go and fun!
Feb 2023 • Couples
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.

Pretty cool
Nov 2022 • Solo
I went here today and enjoyed it. It's a cool cave temple and you can walk all the way to the top for a pretty cool view. It gets very hot so bring water and maybe go earlier then I did at 1.45pm. It's free entry but you can leave a donation. A must visit in Ipoh!

A must see in ipoh.
Aug 2022 • Couples
Ipoh is an old type of place and has many temples and caves to explore. We did this one and loved it. So much to see. It's a bit of a climb to the top but it's well worth it. Take your time and plenty to drink.

Excellent climb through caves
Aug 2022
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.

Worth a visit
Feb 2022
The climb and the view from the top was worth it. The idols are huge and glows against the dark interiors. Very courteous and helpful attendants.

Well Sponsored Cave Temple
Nov 2021
Well maintained and cleaned. Must try the steps to the top to see nice views but you need to be an experienced climber for safety.

Scenic Temple

The surrounds of the temple is well kept. Loved our walkabout as we get to see the deity statues all around and the ponds.

Great hike and interesting cave
Mar 2020 • Couples
Didn't realize that there was a hike up, which offers excellent views of the surrounding areas. The cave is super cooling and many shrines in it. Worth going!
