Guan Yin Cave Temple, Ipoh

Dear ladies & gentlemen. We are PR students 2012 from University Tunku 
Abdul Rahman(PERAK CAMPUS) We will post 3 blog posts and this will be our first blog post. which we would like to relate to travelling and exploring tourist spots around Perak. And this will be our first blog post which we will introduce a limestone cave named GUAN YIN CAVE.

Before you scroll down, let me introduce you Guan Yin Cave, Ipoh.
Guan Yin Cave or Goddness of Mercy Cave Temples is located at Gunung Rapat. The limestone hill here has the highest number of cave temples in Ipoh. You can find about 150 statues here and they are beautifully carved by the local workers there.

On 25th February 2012, the first time we reached this place we simply could feel peace surrounding us. Moreover we could hear bird's chirping, cooland calm wind touching our face, and bright sunshine that really brought true excitement for us.
1.Walking in to Guan Yin Cave
Upon stepping into Guan Yin Cave outdoor garden, the first irresistible action we did was to take pictures because the statues there look so realistic as they're s like watching you. There are animals statues, China army statues, Pegasus and number of Guan Yin statues.
2.Let's make a wish and THROW!!!!
This is so called a Wishing Tree, there's a belief that this tree can grant wishes when we write our wishes on red or yellow ribbon tied to an orange or mandarin and throw it up with one hand towards the tree. The higher it is hung, the better the chances of the wishes coming true.
3. Wishing tree captured during dawn.
This picture of Wishing Tree is taken in the morning, The place is opened daily and has been visited by countless people, local and foreign.


Anyone can come here to make a wish if you happen to be here. Will you try this feat?
4.The wishing well
Furthermore there is a wishing well which is also a western belief that the well water has an amazing healing power, people also can drop coins inside the well to make wishes and to show appreciation. 

Water is a source of survival and it is essential for living things in the world .The early ancient people believed that wells were sacred because they believed that the god of guardian was inside the well; thus this myth was brought until today.
5.The indoor greenery garden liked so much by the girls
6.A group photo of  indoor garden 
7. Kwong Meing fascinated by a tortoise he found in the pond
8.A lot of people writing down their wishes 
9.A close view of the wishing tree
Not just that, interestingly people also usually celebrate Chap Goh Meh or the fifteenth night which in Hokkien dialect, it is also known as "Chinese Valentine's Day". If you thought that Valentine's Day has become way too commercialized for you, perhaps you should start observing Chap Goh Meh instead.


It is interesting to note that according to the practice of Chinese culture, The Chinese will celebrate their end of Chinese New Year on 15th of the lunar calendar. This is one of the place people will gather here to celebrate the event and people will state their wishes in the oranges and throw them in the river to hope that their wishes may come true. Furthermore, people will scoop the oranges or mandarin to see other peoples wishes or sometimes a contact number of other person usually a female contact's.


10. Mostly males are busying scooping the oranges and madarin.


11.Hong Mun imitating the love shape of the tricycle
This red coloured tricycle is believed to be the wedding vehicle to fetch the bride to the wedding ceremony in the early years where the cyclist would be like a "driver", while the bride would seat in the attached passenger sidecar.
12.The stairway to the vertex of the mountain
One's said "Every journey starts with a single steps", so this is the start of our journey to the top of the limestone mountain. There is a cultural belief said that the higher you get the closer you are to paradise and to see how heavenly beautiful it looks like.
13.Every single drop of sweat always ensure us to move forward and finally reach the top!
While climbing this hill, the steps are very slippery and steep and the sweet part is we motivated each other to reach to the top and we learned not to give up. At last we reached the top and we saw the magnificent full view of the town and the scenery is totally breathtaking.
14.After an enjoyable climb, and now what?? It's time for us to get back to the ground.
15.Alright.One little two little three little steps.
16.Say "cheese" after a long exhausted climb. 
17. Left the place, bye bye.!!

  26. try to avoid using black colour as your background because you are having a fun travel, therefore the theme and colour that chosen should be more colourful and natural. somemore, take alert for your blog's font colour, because some of the words were could not be seen clearly attaching with the background.

  40. Hi, tamy here. :)

    I think that this blog is quite good. There are some things you guys can amend to improve it such as the grammar, there are some minor grammar mistakes. The information is very detailed, and map is provided so it is a very thoughtful touch. Moreover, I think you guys should choose a simpler background and improve on the banner. In addition, I think that you guys shouldn't resize the photos too much, some of it is stretched, so it doesn't looks nice.

    That is all. Good job. :)
