Ipoh

Temple facade Posted by Picasa


Ipoh is famous for their cave temple......
The city of Ipoh is surrounded by mountains and there were numerous temple.
Early city dwellers discovered the caves and used it to build temple in, around the caves.
The caves chambers are made into temple's altar....
some with dramatic stalagmite and stalactite and beautiful temple buildings.

This temple is known as the Sam Poh Cave whereby this is a man-made pond with the main temple facade. Inside there are the cave chambers and through the cave, will reach an internal open courtyard.
