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.
