Perak Cave

Perak Cave Temple is a Buddhist temple located atop the limestone hill of Gunung Tasek. It is known for its beautiful architecture and features a 40-foot-tall sitting golden Buddha statue with four goddess-like guardian deities. The 358-step staircase, surrounded by pavilions and gazebos, is an attractive element of the Perak Cave Temple. The view from the top is breathtaking. A two-story pavilion can be reached by another flight of 400 steps. The murals show events and characters from Chinese mythology and Buddhist scriptures on the walls.

The Perak Cave is about a 6-kilometer drive north of Ipoh along Jalan Kuala Kangsar. It also serves as a religious site, as the Perak Tong Cave Temple is located nearby. It is well-known for its vibrant murals and Chinese calligraphy by Chong Yin Chat that cover the walls. This fascinating attraction also includes various portrayals of people and events from Chinese mythology and Buddhist scripture.
