Perak Cave, Ipoh, Perak

Before the end of the semester break, I went to the Ipoh trip with my friends.

Ipoh is the capital of the Perak, Malaysia. Ipoh is also called “Shan Cheng”, which is meaning “The Hill City”. That is because Ipoh city surrounded by many mountains.

Today, my friends and I came to Perak Cave (霹雳洞), which was built in 1926 by Buddhist priest from China, and the temple houses over 40 Buddha.

In Perak Cave, the statue of Buddha was the tallest and hugest of its kind in Malaysia when first commissioned.

Perak Cave, which is also a steep and tall staircase in the interior of the cave, can rising up to the top of its hill, where one is greeted by a beautiful and panoramic view of Ipoh and its surroundings.

These pictures were captured in the Perak Cave (thanks to my friend Yew Hong provide the pictures)
