Kek Lok Tong

Scenic limestone cave temple with Buddha statues and gardens

Address Gunung Rapat, accessible via the housing estate

Kek Lok Tong (the Cave of Great Happiness) sits in the same limestone hill range as Sam Poh Tong but is younger — built in the 1970s — and quieter. The cave is reached through the Gunung Rapat housing estate and opens onto a large chamber with Buddha statues, lotus ponds and a cool breeze that blows straight through from the far side of the hill. Locals consider the setting the most scenic of Ipoh's cave temples; there is a vegetarian restaurant on site.
