Tibetan Temple, Tambun.

Tibetan Buddhist sutra bells.

The temple is 13-storey high. We climbed up a spiral staircase to reach the top,where we enjoyed a panoramic view of Tambun with its limestone hills and pomelo farms.

The temple houses an 11.5m-tall statue of Sakyamuni Buddha, which is placed on the ninth floor

 

Perak’s tallest Amithaba Buddha statue. The impressive Buddha stands 24 meters tall, at the top of the temple.

Gopeng Gaharu Tea Valley

We arrived there very early, at about 9am. We were the only visitors there and the staff were not very enthusiastic with us. There was a souvenir shop at the main building, but we found them rather pricy. I guess gaharu wood is expensive. There were several vans parked outside the office to ferry visitors to the hills. But since we were not attended to, and I didn't think they were interested to drive 2 persons up, so we didn't enquire about the fare. We only stayed for a short while for there was really not much to do except looking at the souvenirs.
