@ Lin Sen Tong (靈仙岩) Ipoh Perak (click here to Google Map)
Jalan Raja Dr Nazrin Shah, Gunung Rapat 31350 Ipoh, PerakGPS Location: 4°33'58.8"N 101°06'50.5"E
Budget: Free
Parking: Free
Thoughts: Build in 1967 by a 罗志明 who found a spot here next to the Perak mountains, a place of serenity (perhaps at that time) as now is just next to the busy trunk road of Jalan Raja Dr Nazrin Shah (formerly Jalan Gopeng). The reason the temple was name 灵仙岩 is because amongts the rocks at the cave are clear spring water, much like a heavenly place.
灵仙岩 is a very "colorful" temple and probably the Temple Cave in Perak that houses the most God figures like 孙悟空 Sun Wu Kong, 济公 Ji Gong, 观音 Guan Ying, 地藏王菩萨 Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, 四面佛 Erawan, and even 月老 "The God of Love", also the 十二生肖 12 Zodiac animals and many other statues of Gods in Chinese Folk Religion.
The main temple for prayers is likely the 观音殿 Guan Yin Temple where Taoist or Buddhist can make prayers to the Guan Yin.
灵仙岩 Lin Seng Tong is probably the easiest temple to locate as it is strategically located along Jalan Gopeng (now with the longer name of Jalan.. Shah). There is ample parking just outside the temple, parking and entrance all free as of now. Among the many temples here in Ipoh, this one I considered one of the most well maintained despite it not charging any entrance fees. Including prayers, maybe 45-60 minutes here would be enough.
