- ailee c1 contributionI was there with a group of students. The hot springs were fun although I am not sure how natural it is now, as there are many more pools available than 10 years ago. The fire show was unexpected and truly impressive. The whole team did a wonderful job with the choreography. The staff at the hotel were friendly and very helpful. A special shoutout to a young man named Naqi. He was incredibly helpful and friendly from the moment we arrived until we checked out.Written 20 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Tour3876293313010 contributionsThe museum's content and presentations are beyond my expectation for a private, non-profit. The guide is passionate in narrating the history of the Hakka community in the Kinta Valley. It didn't stop there, it even traced the root of the migrants with great accuracy. Navigating the narrow building is a walk down memory lane of Ipoh and the early history of then Malaya. With such passion and hopefully with more financial support, I hope Ipoh World will uncover and present many other historical gems of Ipoh like Dr Wu Lien-teh and Prof Wang Gungwu.Written 21 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- 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.

- 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.

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.

- Titus DSri Lanka6,957 contributionsEnlighten Heart Tibetan Buddhist Temple is an old charm and is located in Tambun. Not very much of people in Ipoh knows about it. It is at a hidden location covered by wild plants on the approaching roads and surroundings. There are very few Tibetan Buddhist temples in Southeast Asia, this temple is a rare find and is one of the largest Tibetan-tradition Buddhist temples in the country.
It is located at the foot of Ipoh’s impressive stretch of limestone.The road sign is just before the turn to the road that leads to the temple.Travel about 1.2 km along the road directed from there. The road is narrow and covered with bushes on the sides where only one vehicle can travel at a time and therefore so be watchful.
Temple is very quiet, five of us were the only visitors only at that time other than the volunteers who maintain it. My Chinese origin Malaysian friends told me that this temple is vibrant on festive season like Wesak days but rather quiet with few visitors on other days with few people. Nevertheless the architecture and the design are great. It is serine, spiritual and clears our souls when visited. There are some really impressive statues.
By comparison with other more famous temples, it is quite new, and it is possible to feel the strong personal commitment volunteer There is one room with huge jars around.
Volunteers helped us with directions. It was very beautiful and peaceful.
The stairs led all the way to the top of this 13 storey Pagoda; where a golden statue of Lord Buddha with open hand is situated; overlooking at Ipoh town.The Pagoda houses an enormous Sakyamuni Buddha statue but it is dusty and looks like it hasn't been maintained in years. The climb to the top of the pagoda will reward you with great views. Every floor of this pagoda is decorated with statues, deities and paintings depicting the rich mythology of Buddhism and a breathtaking view of Kinta Valley can be seen from the top.
We came to the main altar by 9 am to observe the ritual. Monks chanted sutras and disciples blowing horns and other traditional Tibetan instruments included in the processions. The masked dancers made the Charm dance in attractive costumes in elegant fashion.
We got a different kind of an experience by visiting Enlighten Heart Tibetan Buddhist Temple in Ipoh but it is great.Written 1 June 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
