Sam Poh Temple

The Sam Poh Temple in Brinchang is the largest temple in Cameron Highlands, nestled on a small hill top at the back of town. The access road can be found at the turn off next to Iris House Resort; follow the signboards along the narrow road up in less than five minutes by car. This opulent temple is Buddhist in nature, but a variety of other brass deities can be found huddled inside, typical of Chinese pluralistic belief. While also a tourist attraction, most visitors are local Chinese or from Singapore, coming to admire the oriental architecture while offering prayers at the altar. The temple is free to enter, as long as you keep a quiet profile and remove your shoes.
