Kek Lok Tong Cave Temple

Kek Lok Tong is Chinese words, which means Cavern of Ultimate Bliss. It is located not far away from Sam Poh Tong since they are on the same range of limestone hills.


We went to this temple with my eldest brother and my youngest brother's family.


I just love this beautiful scenery.

Surrounded by famous limestone hills of Ipoh, the site is a famous tourist destination and provides amazing scenery for photographers.




Buddhist Statues

The cave temple is also known as “The Cave Temple of Bronze Buddhas”. Today, Kek Look Tong has 13 Taoist and Buddhist statues cast by expert sculptors in Taiwan.

The cave complex comprises a central altar featuring a number of Buddhist figures as well as various deities of the Chinese pantheon.
Surrounded by stunning stalactites and stalagmite formations, the cave provides a peaceful prayer site for Buddhist devotees and general enjoyment for the public.

Twin bananas

Today this cute little darling visited me. His grandparents brought him over for the very first time. He's so cute as he smiled readily. I was tempted to carry him and he was fine with that. Some babies don't like strangers.  I carried him and kissed his cheek several times..So adorable. Without hesitation, I gave him an ang pow. his granddad put him on the table and I took a shot of him.. When I went back home in the evening, I realized that the bunch of bananas at the altar has ripen. I brought the bunch to my shop and shared with my people. There was this particular twin bananas and my worker wanted them. She peeled them and I could see that they were adjoined all the way down. Well, old wives tale has it that those ladies who ate them would give birth to twins in future..
