What travellers are saying
- 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, UK544 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.
- Leong Chee ShengSingapore, Singapore353 contributionsWe were told it is one of the oldest cave temples here so we had to come take a look. Note that they close quite early at 230pm.
Beautiful temple but the locals told us it has not been well-maintained. Much overgrown vegetation and dim at some point, but it still has its charm here.
Grab a bowl of chopped tomatoes to feed the tortoises at the other outlet of the cave temple. We spent /497'd 30-45 minutes here. Best to see other caves in the area to make your trip worthwhile.Written 7 November 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- pianocelloShah Alam, Malaysia1,909 contributionsThis is an off the beaten path attraction for those of you who want a change from cave temples and heritage buildings. The highlight is the numerous number of praying figures and the giant reclining Buddha. There are many statues around but many look cheaply - made. We were in and out in ten minutes.Written 28 December 2016This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Sally Thoe DownsAlbuquerque, NM5,394 contributionsCave temples were interests of our visiting friends from American and we had this one on our list too. Located in Kampung Kepayang, on the left side of the road just after the Sungai Raya bridge coming from Ipoh, is Kwong Fook Ngam. This century-old Buddhist cave temple was established in 1884. Like the many other cave temples in the outskirts of Ipoh, this one is also built against the walls of limestone hills, with caverns as prayer halls. The temple with an inner cave that features natural rock formations in various shapes and sizes such as crocodile, shark, mermaid, snake, goat, fish and even deities like Lord General Kuan Ti and Lord Buddha. On the same grounds the Reamonnya Wongsa Wijaya Pagoda, a Thai Buddhist temple, shares the compound of Kwong Fook Ngam, adding to its attraction. Admission is free but a fee of Rm4 is required to go to the inner cave.Written 22 March 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
