Ipoh Malaysia. Wow, what a place to visit!
Guests of National Geographic Orion were given the opportunity to visit this city that very few people have the chance to visit. During our one-hour bus ride through the countryside of Perak, we passed palm forests, rice paddies, and the natural beauty which encompassed monkeys and birds. Then we reached our destination, the temple of Kek Look Tong, meaning Great Happiness. It is a limestone cave temple that has been used as a place of worship since the 1920’s, and it felt like it, as we were greeted by a stone statue of Confucius and many other honored monks that graced the grounds.
Later, a visit to the city of Ipoh was appreciated by our guests as they had the time to roam freely and adventure.
