SAM POH TONG (CAVE)

Temple to visit
4/5
1 review

This temple was founded 100 years ago by a meditative and serene Chinese monk who lived there withdrawn for 20 years. The temple, still in operation, welcomes Buddhist monks and nuns. After climbing 246 steps, you reach the main cave where many statues are found. These cohabit with stalactites and stalagmites formed by limestone deposits. In a basin, turtles and carps sleep, symbols of longevity. A Taoist vegetarian restaurant is located at the foot of the temple and allows you to gain strength before the ascent.

PERAK TONG (CAVE)

Museums
4/5
1 review

On a limestone hill of 122 m height is hidden a vast cave containing 40 statues of Buddha of which the highest measures 13 m. This temple was founded in 1926 by Chon Seng Yee who discovered the cave. He was a lover of painting and had the various caves and galleries decorated, which are still being completed by pilgrim artists. After the main altar, steps lead you through the galleries until you reach an exit on the side of the cliff. A surprising view of the industrial area and the mountains awaits you a little higher up.
