Perak Tong Cave Temple

Perak Tong is one of Ipoh’s major cave temples. Tourism Malaysia highlights the large golden Buddha, guardian figures, extensive murals and the long stairway rising through the cave and limestone hill. Tourism Malaysia locates Perak Tong at Gunung Tasek and highlights a large golden Buddha image, painted murals and the stairway that rises through and above the limestone cave.

These features make the temple both a functioning Buddhist devotional space and one of Ipoh’s major cave-temple destinations. A specific foundation date is omitted here because it was not sufficiently established by the reviewed authoritative source. Cave sanctuary with a large golden Buddha image, Buddhist statuary, painted murals and a stairway ascending through the limestone hill.

The temple remains a religious setting rather than only a sightseeing stop. Visitors should respect shrine halls, monks and worshippers, follow any footwear or photography instructions on site, and remember that festival days may change access or the normal rhythm of the complex.
