Day 4 - Ipoh

 Cameron Highlands  Ipoh 


Kellie's Castle

The construction of this unique castle began in 1915 and was abruptly halted by Kellie's accidental death in 1926. The solitary, lifeless castle seems almost surreal in the middle of the wild side of the Perak plantations. It exudes a strong personality. The road leading to Kellie Castle follows the contours of the earth in a dizzying labyrinthine way, adding to the mystery and romance of the place.

Kek Lok Tong temple

Kek Lok Tong is a temple in the most spectacular cave of Ipoh, a former iron mine in one of the many limestone hills of Gunung Rapat. The Kek Lok Tong complex includes a central altar with a number of Buddhist figures as well as various deities of the Chinese pantheon. Golden statues sit on huge marble pedestals.
