Ipoh, Malaysia - 7 April 2011; no people in view. An ornate boat-like structure at Sam Poh Tong Cave Temple in Ipoh, Penang Malaysia, Seriously, though, it doesn't look too seaworthy to Sam Poh Tong can be translated as the Cave of Triple Gems, but none have ever been found in the caves which constitute the main part of this Buddhist Temple. So maybe they are spiritual jewels. What we see here is part of the ornamental gardens outside the main caves, which are built around ornamental fish ponds. Even if all the fish seem to have swum off, here.
