- UnderpaidSamuraiSingapore, Singapore202 contributionsOur family was absolutely delighted with the visit and guided tour. Leong (the guide) was knowledgeable, humourous and overall outstanding. The kids loved the visit.Written 28 May 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- ThamaLorient, France19 contributionsStayed 2 nights. The park was clean and well maintained. Animals were interesting and well kept. Enjoyed the night flame show and tiger feeding. Wheelchair accessible. Friendly staff. Fun rides and ghost house. Environment and background settings were cool and good. No outside foods were allowed.
The flip side was the single entry to the park even if you are staying at qLWOT Hotel.Written 28 April 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

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.
- IpohboymartinBedfordshire, UK15 contributionsThis is one of my favourite places to visit. The steps lead you up.imto the xave with a variety of deities around you. The stalactites and stalagmites are impressive. Walking through to the cave area is peaceful, and you emerge from the caves into the eell kept gardens. There are several places where you can sit in the shade and admire the surroundings. I have been coming here since 1999 and will continue to do so.Written 30 May 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Earthplight32 contributionsInteresting place, sorry it is run down and not well maintained.

- Ian APenang Island, Malaysia55 contributionsA quirky little stumble! Ipoh is one of those places that might not crop up on the SE-Asia worldly-traveler places to visit, but it definitely has a few places that make for a neat stop for a few hours. Concubine Lane is one of those such places. It is fairly busy, but the hustle and bustle seem to give it a bit of charm that make weaving in and out of various stores, offering souvenirs, some tasty treats and a variety of experiences, a pleasant way to spend half an hour or so. If you had a limited time in the area, or were looking for the best things to do in Malaysia, you wouldn't really venture to Ipoh and so you wouldn't make it to Concubine Lane, but if you live within a few hours and want to see somewhere a bit different that is similar to Georgetown, Penang, but with much less tourists, then it's worth a stop.
We spent a couple of hours in Ipoh in between Penang and The Cameron Highlands. Concubine Lane added to the experience, but we are unlikely to venture this way a second time.Written 9 April 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Not only is it a great way to capture an incredible memory, but the staff there are also some of the friendliest people I've ever met.Written 27 April 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Leong Chee ShengSingapore, Singapore102 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.

- Titus DSri Lanka6,910 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.
