Ipoh Trip (Day 3)

Another day begins in Ipoh; there were still some places worth visiting. The plan for the day was to the famous Tempurung Cave (It was such a great visit that I have too much to express about it. So I’ve decided to post it as a special entry on its own).

After visiting the majestic Tempurung Cave, we stop at Kellie’s Castle as we passed by Batu Gajah on our way back to Ipoh. And had a few shots there.
The unfinished mansion was built by a Scottish planter (William Kellie Smith). It was either a gift for his wife or a home for his son.

It was then back in Ipoh. And we still haven’t got enough of the caves. So, our host, Minwei took to several other temple caves.
The first temple cave that we visited is San Po Tong. A beautiful place with artificial sceneries, perfect for photography.
The gateway of San Po Tong.

Just like the Tempurung Cave, it is a tourism spot, recognized by the Malaysian Tourism Board.



Some nice pictures taken there.







Next to the San Po Tong, is the Ling Seng Tong and Nan Tian Tong. Both are also beautiful cave temples.

However, it was not the end yet as we were about to visit the most beautiful cave temple in Ipoh – Kek Lok Tong.








The view from the entrance alone had already taken my breath. Before I knew it, Kek Lok Tong amused us with yet another wondrous sight.

Walking through the cave, we found ourselves arriving at a beautiful lake garden on the other side of the cave. A perfect spot for dating.

Time finally caught up with us. As for our last night in Ipoh, we requested Minwei to take us to some nice places for another session of photography before we end our day.
