The temple itself is not of much interest, unless you are religious. But the very idea of establishing a temple inside a cave with limestone stalagmites and stalactites formed (and still being formed) is just mind-boggling. Quite interesting.

Please visit early in the morning to avoid the heat. Good to temple to visit however the trail could have been maintained better.
Came around 4:20, and some workers told us not to hike up to the view point as it would take too long since the attraction was closing at 5pm. The ground floor has nice statues and paintings. Do not feel obliged to give money to the 3 brown guys outside in the parking lot. They'll lead you to a parking spot and help you park the car, and they might also demand money but you do not need to give them money. Just ignore them.
Nice cave with beautiful paintings inside. Quite a few stairs to the top where you get a nice view of Ipoh from the top. Not very busy and no entry fee or dress requirements. If you've got time, worth checking out.
The cave itself had some wonderful statues but behind the main alter a flight of steps makes its way to the far recesses of the cave and out through an opening on the side of the hill. Luckily there were pavilions to Have a rest as it was 34 degrees. Mad dogs and English men!!! having reached the top the view was well worth the effort
The temple is clean with statues of Buddha, Guan Yin and other deities. It is cooling, gives good energy and calmness to one.
