Visited to 2 monasteries in Ipoh last weekend, they are the Vihara Gotama Buddha, a monastery situated on a piece of 15-acre-land near a graveyard in Temoh, Ipoh; and the Sukhavana Monastery, a monastery at a cave in Ipoh.
Love the environment around Vihara Gotama Buddha really much, it is surrounded by greenery and the atmosphere there is such serene and the air is extremely fresh. The abbot of the monastery introduced many kinds of plants to us while showing us around the monastery, there were cherry plant, camphor plant Tongkat Ali plant and many others.
