Situated in Gunung Rapat, it sits on a 12-acre site and was used as early as 1920 as a place of worship. The name Kek Lok Tong is directly translated as Cave of Ultimate Bliss (or Great Happiness), a natural limestone cave which overlooks a large lotus pond. At the centre of the cave sits golden statues of Buddhist and Chinese mythological deities. The cave and the garden go hand-in-hand in creating a tranquil and peaceful setting with the view of the gardens, which also feature jogging and reflexology paths, even a ‘shoeless’ one. A perfect place for taking scenic photos and relaxing among nature.
