Tua Pek Kong Temple: A Sacred Seaside Escape into Malaysia’s Rich Heritage
#newyearnewtrip #travelanywhere #cuti²malaysia
On my travels, I stumbled upon a hidden gem that felt like a sacred gateway between time and nature: the Tua Pek Kong Temple. This 19th-century Buddhist complex, perched by the serene seaside, immediately captivated me with its striking blend of spiritual grandeur and natural beauty. Statues of gods and mythical creatures greet visitors, while the elegant pagoda stands tall, offering stunning views of the koi pond below. Just a stone's throw away lies the tranquil Tua Pek Kong Paya Bakau, a lush mangrove wetland that beautifully merges with the temple’s tranquil atmosphere.
For a truly immersive experience, comfortable shoes are a must for the temple’s steps and the peaceful wetland walk. Whether you’re here to reflect, explore, or simply marvel at Malaysia’s incredible cultural richness, this place is a must-visit for anyone seeking a spiritual retreat by the sea.

Hidden gems in Malaysia 🏴☠️
#ipohtrip
If you even consider to visit some hidden attractions in Malaysia other than the famous Kuala Lumpur, Penang or Sabah, Ipoh can be a great place for you to explore!! Not a super fancy big city but it is a small cute town embayed in mountains.
For the 2-3 days trips, do not miss out the Perak Cave Temple as this is where you can climb up the temple to overlook the town view and Kek Lok Toong with the god statues inside the caves plus the paradise in the back mountain for you to chill and enjoy the boat riding. Not to mention there are some good cafe such as the Harry Potter themed platform cafe and some small small hidden cafe that offering good coffees and pastries.
In term of the stay, The Heaven Suite is definitely the top 1 in my list as it offers more than just a hotel room. Swimming pool is the highlight because it just literally facing the majestic mountain view in front!! If you even have more budget for the trip, Banjaran Hotsping can be a good option considering the hot spring is available inside the hotel as well as the cave restaurant could provide you a memorable experience like once in a life time!!
Not far from Ipoh, Sitiawan is somewhere you can pass by as well!! I am sure that the Tua Pek Temple that located there will amaze!!

Sitiawan is one small town about 1.5hours away from Ipoh city. Although it is small, never expect that there is such big attraction in this town!
This area just close by the sea and it is very chilly here, but do apply sunscreen as my face turn dark after visiting this place 🌚
I wish to travel to HongKong to resemble the busyness of the city and start my shopping spree just like what I used to watch in TV!
