Sam Poh Tong, a Chinese Buddhist temple, is nestled among the limestone hills of Gunung Rapat on the southeastern edge of Ipoh. Discovered by a Chinese monk in 1890 and established as a temple in the 1950s, it offers a blend of natural and man-made beauty. The temple’s gardens and open-air cave pagoda create a serene and picturesque setting. Visitors can explore the intricate cave interiors and enjoy the tranquil gardens, making it a notable site for both its religious significance and scenic appeal.
