Kek Lok Tong aka Kek Look Tong. It means the Cave of Ultimate Bliss or Great Happiness.

The cave has been used as a place of worship since the 1920’s but during the 1960’s the area was engaged in iron ore mining and parts of the cave were excavated for this activity.

When mining ceased it was dedicated again to religious purposes and opened to visitors in the 1970s. The floor of the cave has been levelled and paved and much of the lower walls are lined with marble tiles. The roof and upper walls however remain in their natural state with some impressive stalactite formations.

Benches have been installed together with railings and staircases. Being a spacious cavern with large openings at each end, it enjoys good natural lighting and a refreshing breeze blows through the cave.
