Gua Gek Lok Tong (Ipoh)

Malaysia / Perak / Ipoh
 cave(s), tourist attraction
Natural limestone cave with beautiful faura and fauna in Ipoh.

Opened in the 1970s, Kek Lok Tong is the most recent of the Ipoh cave temples and perhaps the most spectacular of them all. The temple is set in a huge cave in the limestone outcrops behind Gunung Rapat, about 5km south of Ipoh City.

The temple has impressive works of art, with statues of Buddha in various forms among natural stalactites and rock formations. One can savour vegetarian food, served here at the temple, in peaceful surroundings amidst lotus ponds. Nestled on a 4.5ha land, it is managed by the Kek Look Seah since its inception in 1982
