Day 270: Cave temple
Ipoh is a former tin mining town, surrounded by caves within limestone hills, a number of which are pilgrimage sites for Buddhist devotees and for visiting tourists to the area. Among the most famous are Perak Cave, Sam Po Tong and Kek Lok Tong, each with impressive temple settings as well as scenic views atop the hills.
In the distant, from Kinta City, one of them can clearly be seen, except with my poor orientation and carelessness in not noting exactly where I was looking, I can’t tell you which it is. I can only deduce that since we were in the south of Ipoh, it would be either Sam Po Tong or Kek Lok Tong? Who wants to play guess the cave temple? ;)
and there’s a giant hypermarket tucked at the corner too hehehe ;) i think emily would know which Tong? i’ve been to both so i am gussing sam po tong hohoho
lol, i didn’t even noticed the present of giant until you mentioned it! yeah, em will probably know :D
