What travellers are saying
- Thomas Go GoKuala Lumpur, Malaysia12 contributionsPerak Cave Temple is located around 15 minutes ride from downtown Ipoh. The natural cave is the temple itself with statues and wall paintings of Buddha and Bodhisattvas. Therefore, the temple earns the name of "Dunhuang in the South". Following the passage of the cave, it will lead you to the apex of the hill where you can enjoy the views around. A peaceful and culture-rich religious site to visit. Recommend it.Written 25 February 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- HarithahAsia38 contributionsBuilding is beautiful. The station is small, clean and has basic facilities. Will be better if the Majestic Walk is repaired.

- Andrew G318 contributionsThe murals (street art) of Ipoh are well famous :)
Note, however, that the street art / murals are scattered in various locations in Old Town (i.e. the area on the side of the railway station of Kinta river) IpohWritten 29 June 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

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.

It says alittle about the history of this clock tower and is good for a quick photo.Written 5 November 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- jchongIpoh, Malaysia2,072 contributionsBuilt in 1912, St Michaels was a La Sallian missionary school. The facade is an impressive example of neo-gothic architecture. It's not a tourist attraction per se but a functioning school and you can't simply walk in.
But the facade can be enjoyed from the outside.Written 29 November 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- KoloblicinSingapore, Singapore595 contributionsThis is a very nice place to visit. There are many historical temples here, but it can be quite far from the city centre to visit. Worth it when making a trip to the other attractions around this place.Written 13 March 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- fUnNy man4 contributionsI feel a bit nervous during the first time adventuring in the maze. The atmosphere there probably will terrify us but the arts inside are actually great and attractive. I'll be the first customer who decide to play it again when the theme of the maze has changed in the future.Written 1 January 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- KGB777Singapore, Singapore41,727 contributionsThis is another heritage building to walk past as you're exploring the centre of Ipoh. Located only a short walk from teh Padang in the direction of Concubine Lane, a quick stop here can be included quite easily.Written 21 March 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
