- KamelmatPerth, Australia104 contributionsWorth a visit if you’re in the area. It is a beautiful temple nestled in a large cave. The lighting within the cave makes photographing an easy task.Written 7 May 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Steve RBolton, UK599 contributionsIf you're in the area then you should definitely visit Perak Tong. It's one of a few temples within a cave in Malaysia and has a relaxed and thought provoking vibe to it. I can recommend it but only for an hour or so.Written 5 March 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- s cPetersburg, VA593 contributionsSmall house museum dedicated to the founder of Ho Yan Hor herbal tea. I was not familiar with the brand. Thought museum worth a look while in old Ipoh. Given a brief welcome orientation by personable young woman then left to wander. Building over 100 years old so only 1 person allowed on stairs at a time. End of tour offered tastings of tea. Inspiring success story.Written 22 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- Neris29Singapore, Singapore244 contributionsOwners have re-created a local village at this very picturesque location set within limestone hills and ponds. Kids enjoyed cycling around on family bicycles which available free of charge. Rickshaws are similarly available if you fancy more exercise. There are lots of fish and turtles in the ponds and fish feed can be purchased for RM 1 per packet. Overall, it was a pleasant way to spend an hour or so. Certainly it was more enjoyable than I had expected.Written 23 December 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- AllanJane_11Melbourne, Australia461 contributionsAs others have mentioned this is one of the older temples, the garden and exterior buildings are lovely and evoke a spiritual feeling. Our guide told us that the other temples are more patronised and the temple doesn't receive many donations hence their inability to spend a great deal on maintenance.
The interior is very interesting with several statues and some very old art works.
When you exit the temple at the rear you are surrounded by limestone cliffs on all sides, very impressive .
I would suggest going with a guide to understand the artworks.Written 23 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - pwyllpennannwnKuala Lumpur, Malaysia72 contributionsFun!
Not exactly zipping around on Zodiaks but it is a fun boat ride.
The lakes, a Kinta Valley fare.
The coffee place, there are two - one across from the small jetty where the lake tour starts. One further up - go up! The coffee is very good!Written 8 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Interesting paintings depicting daily life of Ipoh residents are available in the old town. Searching for artworks while exploring the former mining city is an enjoyable experience.Written 21 January 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Toru OSetagaya, Japan3,280 contributionsThe center of the park can be accessed with a boat ride that only takes 5 minutes. Features an artificial waterfall by the entrance with a 3 ringgit admission. They offer a tour around the park with a cart for 10 ringgits but is better to walk around on foot if you’re fit enough.Written 3 August 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
