The Chinese Cave Temples in Ipoh are incredible. Each has its own unique character and they are all worth seeing. Our favorite was this temple because we did not know there was this natural, open, circular, rock valley formation - sorry, it's hard to describe- so we were completely shocked when we walked through the low cave tunnel and came upon this! We had the whole area to ourselves and were totally in awe.
