Perak Tong Cave Temple, Ipoh, Malaysia
There are more than 30 cave temples in and around Ipoh and Perak Tong is one of the most famous and frequently visited.
I expected more people there when I visited recently - it was almost empty. It was a weekday though and I imagine it gets more crowded at weekends and public holidays.
History of Perak Tong
There is an information plaque outside the temple which provides some background. It reads as follows:
In 1926 Chong Sen Yee and his wife Choong Chan Yoke who came from Jiao-Ling province of China, discovered Perak Tong.
On approval from the Perak State Government they started to develop the cave temple. As Chong Sen Yee was mainly involved in the planning and development of the cave temple his wife went all out to look for donations to carry out the plan, locally and internationally.
After more than 50 years of diligent and careful work in and around the cave temple, Perak Tong has become one of the best cave temples in Malaysia.
After climbing the steps and passing through the narrow entrance passage, the limestone cave opens up into a giant space with a high dome and branching off into hidden recesses and grottoes.
A golden sitting Buddha statue, 40 feet tall, dominates the temple. He is flanked by four guardian deities which I have seen described as 'goddesses' .
The walls of the cavern are decorated with colourful murals depicting characters and events from Chinese mythology and Buddhist scriptures.
Chinese calligraphy also adorns the walls some of which was painted by the afore-mentioned Chong Yin Chat.
There are numerous statues and carvings scattered around the temple, including a female with 18 arms who could be Guan Yin, the Goddess of Mercy. The strong aroma of incense mixed with the earthy cave smell lends the cave a special atmosphere.
In all there are supposed to be 450 steps to the top where there is a double storey pavilion providing excellent views over the northern suburbs of Ipoh and a nearby industrial zone.
From here the distinctive limestone hills which circle the city are clearly visible on the horizon. I could see away in the distance that some of the hills are being dynamited and quarried to be turned into cement and kitchen work-tops. That's a big shame. Surely there are other places where limestone and marble could be obtained without demolishing Ipoh's most distinguishing characteristic?

Papan Old Town
And so I was told, there is an old Papan and a new Papan. The one I'm showing now is the old Papan. Story has it that Papan used to be a rich mining town until business start to decline and the township was forced to move out thus the entire town is as good as dead.
The town is located near Pusing(布先) and Batu Gajah(华都牙也),16km from Ipoh. Near the entrance, there is a Kuan Yin temple and next to it is a huge cemetery. In Papan, the dead is more than the living; no wonder some said this is Ghost town, and some houses are said to be haunted (included NO.2).
