An 4 hour’s drive southbound along the North South Expressway brings you to the sleepy community of Bukit Merah town passing through small palm oil plantations and pineapple fields
Perak Tong has become one of the best cave temples in Malaysia. After climbing the steps and passing through the narrow entrance passage, the limestone cave opens up into a giant space with a high dome and branching off into hidden recesses and grottoes. A golden sitting Buddha statue, 40 feet tall, dominates the temple & The walls of the cavern are decorated with colorful murals depicting characters and events from Chinese mythology and Buddhist scriptures. There are numerous statues and carvings scattered around the temple, including a female with 18 arms who could be Guan Yin, the Goddess of Mercy. The strong aroma of incense mixed with the earthy cave smell lends the cave a special atmosphere.

Highlight was the visit to Orangutan Island with the guide there being super and it was a once in a lifetime experience. The visit to the temple was really interesting as well. From Kuala Lumpur it is a very long drive and unfortunately our driver didn’t give us much information so was more a taxi than a tour.
