Ling Sen Tong Cave Temple, Ipoh, Perak

Ling Sen Tong Cave Temple, Ipoh (18 September, 2005)


Ling Sen Tong (GPS: 4.56642, 101.11404) is one of the cave temples at Gunung Rapat, Ipoh. It is located within the same neighbourhood as Sam Poh Tong.

The entrance to Ling Sen Tong is through its entrance arch. The compound is colourfully done up with statues recalling Buddhist myths and mythologies. It appears like a Buddhist theme park.

Entering the cave, you can see small statues (small compared to that of the neighouring temples) lining the wall of the cave. The ceiling of the cave is dark with years of incense burning.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
