The station

Temple
Kek Lok Tong
Kek Lok Tong combines a limestone cavity, religious spaces and a garden. The landscaped passages allow you to discover the relief from inside, depending on the really open areas.
Temple
Sam Poh Tong
Sam Poh Tong occupies an area of limestone caves and cliffs near Ipoh. Visiting places of worship and gardens must respect religious instructions and practices.
Museum
Han Chin Pet Soo
Han Chin Pet Soo presents the history of an old club linked to the exploitation of tin. Collections and visiting spaces bring a social context to the history of Ipoh; check reservations with the museum.
