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.
