Gunung Rapat

Kinta Valley’s magnificent limestone cave temples

Gunung Rapat’s towering vertical walls and spectacular features make it the most famous limestone hill in the Kinta Valley.

The tranquil rock chambers carved out by flowing water over hundreds of millions of years have become today’s oasis of meditation and prayer.

Of the nearly thirty cave temples in Ipoh, four of the most famous are here; from the majestic Sam Poh Tong to the zen gardens of Kek Lok Tong.

A walk off the beaten track and through a cave tunnel will also lead you to Tasik Cermin, a mirror-like lake hidden within the walls of the hill.

CAVE TEMPLES HERE:

• Sam Poh Tong
• Lin Seng Tong or ‘Rock of the Holy Spirits’
• Da Seng Ngan Temple
• Kwan Yin Tong
• Yu Xian Gong
• Kek Long Tong
