Ipoh 2023 - Ipoh Cave Temples Ling Sen Tong (Part 2)


As usual, after darkness, we wander into the light, the grounds of Ling Sen Tong temple. It was still a lovely morning with such blue skies, and us surrounded by limestone greens.


One notable thing about this temple was, there were so many different types of dragons all around. Even before walking in, we saw this gigantic gold dragon just hanging there at the top looking so majestic. 


Around the temple corridor, there were some pound area, and dragon head water holes on the wall. Are these dragon well? Long Jing? Hahahaha. Ouch, my mosquito bite hurts. 


At the entrance, two red pillar with two dragons crawling up them. Above is just one of the dragons. They have red eyes too, but not as spooky as the one from the previous temple. These ones actually looked good. 

Dragon Head, frighteningly littered around the new corner temple. I know they are still under construction, but must they let these heavenly creature's head just lying around like some market meat. 


I saw some cute water dragons inside the pond as well, with some Chinese poetry written on top of it. Something about Dragons being king of the water, and something about visitor's fortune arriving from the dragon's mouth? Feel free to correct me if my Chinese translation is crap, lol.


Different smaller temples at the side of the main cave area.

 

Saw a Wukong monkey god standing with a red flag up on the limestone. I thought it was pretty cool they put him there, a monkey god among all the monkeys that were actually living there. And so I leave you here with Wukong looking out for you. Come visit them if you're ever in Ipoh ya!
