Beautiful temple, beautiful architecture. It is free to enter and wonder around.
The building so artistic and nice
A temple and a museum, it houses the tooth relic of Buddha and has exhibits on Buddhist art and culture. Entry if free.
Most casual tourists miss the best parts of this temple which are the 4th and 5th floors where the actual relic is (4th) with a magnificent gold covered stupa and the peaceful, rooftop garden on the 5th floor with a large prayer wheel.
A new and very large temple that is worth stopping into on your way through Chinatown before grabbing lunch at the Chinatown food centre next door. I'm giving this a forth star because of the nice garden on the roof. Make sure you see that and the meditation/relic room on the floor below the roof.
You have to wear the proper attire before setting foot in the temple (no shorts, no sleeveless shirts). The temple has some sarongs you can borrow by the entrance if you want to step inside.It's a good place to visit before you hit Chinatown. It's easily missable. I didn't get to visit the higher floors since I didn't know about it...
Something worth seeing, not exactly my "cup of tea" but certainly worth a look.
Crowded on weekends! One of the tourist stop attraction near Singapore Chinatown. Do stay and observe some prayer and chantings.
You have to wear the formal suit. Short dress isn't allowed to go inside. It's rule.
This is a beautiful temple which allows photos inside. Please wear appropriate clothing (cover your shoulders and knees - they have sarongs you can use for 'modesty'). There is a museum inside as well.
