Dramatic Expressions of the Tale of Madam White Snake at Haw Par Villa

#mytraveldiary The Tale of Madam White Snake display at Haw Par Villa grips you with its raw drama carved into stone and paint. The statues’ expressions tell the story without words, eyes wide with fury, faces twisted in sorrow, and brows arched in determination. Madam White Snake’s anguish feels almost alive, while her opponents radiate fierce defiance. Each figure is frozen mid-emotion, as if the legend itself paused at its most climactic moment. For a photographer, it’s a rare chance to capture intensity sculpted into stillness, where every gaze and gesture echoes the passion of ancient folklore.
