黑风洞 Batu Caves

黑风洞位于吉隆坡北部的13公里处,是有名的印度教圣地。它是一个石灰山,有三大山洞,洞里有印度庙,山下的入口处有一个巨型的姆鲁甘神像。如要进入洞内的印度庙,则必须走272级的阶梯上山。在大宝森节的时候,这里会人潮汹涌。所以,要进入洞内最好就选其它的日子。

Batu Caves is about 13km north of Kuala Lumpur and is a popular Hindu shrine. It is a limestone hill with 3 main caves and temples. At the entrance, there is a large statue of Lord Murugan. To enter the cave temples, you will have to climb the 272 staircases to the cave. During Thaipusam, Batu Caves will be full of people. Therefore, please avoid Thaipusam if you wish to enter the caves temple.
