Sam Poh Tong Cave Temple, situated in Gunung Rapat, is a cluster of three Chinese limestone cave temples adorned with natural and manmade artistic attractions. Ling Sen Tong, Nam Thean Tong, and Sam Poh Tong are the three temples. The oldest and main cave temple in Ipoh; it affords a spectacular view of the town. A major attraction is the reclining Buddha statue.
The Sam Poh Tong Cave Temple consists of a columbarium that looks like a 4-story blue apartment with 246 steps to reach an open area to get a mesmerizing and unmatchable view of the Ipoh. In front of the temple is an attractive landscape garden consisting of a large fish pond and a feeding area for fish and tortoises. Ling Sen Tong and Nam Thean Tong are close to each other while Sam Poh Tong is a little further.
How to Reach : Take T34 or the 66 bus from Medan Kidd bus station (besides the railway station). They drop off and pick up outside the temple. It costs 1.30 RM each way.
