Ling Sen Tong & Nam Thean Tong
Ling Sen Tong / Nam Thean Tong
Two cave temples right next to Sam Poh Tong. The front courtyard of Ling Sen Tong is filled with colourful mythological statues, and at Nam Thean Tong you can climb the stairs inside the cave.
Ling Sen Tong and Nam Thean Tong sit beneath the same limestone hill, a few hundred metres north of Sam Poh Tong. The front courtyard of Ling Sen Tong is lined with brightly coloured statues in a cartoon style, including the Eighteen Arhats and a reclining Buddha, and the cave houses Taoist and Buddhist deities. Next door, Nam Thean Tong has steps inside the cave that climb to a platform halfway up the hill, with views in the distance. Both are free to visit, and donations are at your discretion. They are usually combined with Sam Poh Tong and Kek Lok Tong for a one-day cave temple trip in Ipoh.
