A spiritual and a natural attraction, Sam Poh Tong Cave Temple remains one of the oldest structures of its kind in Malaysia. Climb the 246 steps to witness this structure, built within a limestone cave. Take a moment to take in the peaceful views, then explore the surrounding gardens, filled with flowers, vegetables, and lotus ponds. The cave temple contains significant artworks, including a sculpture of a reclining Buddha, and offers tourists a chance to release turtles into its pond--an action believed to helps balance one's karma.

If you have time for online one temple this one has to be. As you enter you are firstly struck by the beauty of the garden pond. When you enter the first chamber you wonder what you see doing there...

Love the peaceful scenery around here. There is a turtle garden inside. The entrance is just amazing. You have to go through the cave entrance then you will see the turtle garden there. Any visitor who wish to come here, please don’t throw any rubbish around and keep clean. Do donate for their maintenance purpose. Should keep these place intact. Do visit and donate guys!
