很奇怪的现象，逢年过节，住在怡保或从外地回来的亲朋戚友必挤上汽车往‘三宝洞’一游，要找泊车的位子都很难，人山人海，冰水零食档也都乘机赚点钱。
车子一停，小孩子如出笼的小鸟般，到处乱飞，坐上洞口的石狮子拍一张照后，就窜进阴阴凉凉的‘大宏宝殿’，善男信女每人手中一支香，我们没有兴趣而往狭长阴暗的洞穴内慢慢移近，前面有光的地方就是出口了，外面真是名副其实的‘别有一番洞天’，三面围绕着高山，向上看是圆圆的洞天，下面是好大的一个龟池，几百只大龟小龟都是善心人士放的生，包着头的女人及小孩子，手中抱着一扎扎的空心菜，等着卖给要餵龟子的人，大人也买了好几扎等着让我们餵，空心菜一丢下池，就有一大群的龟子龟孙抢着来吃了！
龟池旁边有一个三宝井，用铁线网盖着，是怕小孩子跌下去吧？里面有好多银币，也是许愿井吧？
A strange phenomenon, during Lunar New Year, those live in Ipoh or returned
home from outstation, all family members and relatives would squeeze in one car
and took a tour to 'Sambo Cave', it was difficult to look for a parking lot, as
everywhere was so packed, ice and titbit hawker stalls also took the
opportunity to earn some money.
As our car stopped, children flew out from the car like birds, climbed up the stone lion in front of the cave and snapped a photo, then walked into the cooling interior, men and women were holding burning incense, We have no interest in it, we ran into the dark and narrow tunnel straight away, light appeared as we walked toward the exit, outside was like in another world, three sides surrounded by mountains, as we looked up we could see only a round sky above, there was a big a turtle pond with hundreds of small and big turtle which were put alive by good wisher, women with head scarf and children with hands holding and selling a type of vegetable that feed the tortoises, waiting for visitors to buy, adults bought several bunch for us to feed, as we threw the vegetable in, a large group of old and young tortoises rushing toward the vegetables!
Next to the pond was a ‘Sambo Well’, covered with wire mesh, afraid of children falling into it? There were lots of coins inside the well, maybe it was a wishing well?
