Interesting place, we didn't do the tour, there was a player in session, but got to look around and see most everything anyway, just with no interpretation

Beautiful temple! I was lucky to get there when there was a celebration going on. It was amazing. Prepare yourself to see thousands (yes, thousands) of Buddhas. Don’t miss the roof garden! Also remember to be quiet and respecting. Women: it is helpful to have with you a scarf to cover your shoulders and avoid going with short shorts or skirts - but in case you are traveling and don’t have much cloths choices, no worries! They borrow some scarfs and pieces of fabric so you can still enter the temple ;)

Beautiful temple, very much worth a visit. The chanting by the monks inside is so relaxing and the entrance where you can pray is spectacular. Inside is beautiful. The third floor prayer area is also special and the roof garden with the giant prayer wheel and orchids was very tranquil. This is well worth a visit.

The temple is open for public to visit and offer many events. This is a free to enter and ticket requirement. Do remember to wear appropriate attire entering the temple. Free rope could be borrowed from the security if your clothing is too short or not appropriate for the religious place. Recommend to go to top floor and visit the Tibetan style big wheel.

No words to explain this place. The ground floor is the temple with Lord Buddha and the 2 assistants. The prayer hall is also situated here There is a museum on top, then the actual tooth relic. The tooth relic area is completely covered in gold. They say that to give the highest honour to Buddha, it must be of high value, hence the gold. Then we have a rooftop garden. The place plays Buddhist chants and prayers. It's so serene and soothing. Prayer hall is at the ground floor. There is also a box where you can donate to the temple.

Visited Singapore many times but never visited this amazing temple before. This place is a real treasure of the Chinatown district of Singapore. It's beautiful from the outside with its many lanterns that adorn it, but the rooms inside are just as sublime. It's not possible to take pictures but just to be content with the beauty and spirituality of the place is magical.

The Chinese Tang dynasty-style building in the heart of Chinatown houses a tooth relic of Buddha, as well as other revered artefacts. This is a fine example of the Chinese Tang dynasty style of architecture in the heart of Chinatown. As its name suggests, the museum houses a tooth relic of Buddha, as well as other revered artefacts. Built in 2007, the temple takes up the complex’s ground floor, and visitors will marvel at the rich interiors comprising paintings, statues & other exhibits related to Buddha and Buddhism. The building also has a roof garden, a library, a vegetarian restaurant in the basement and a bookstore. Visitors can gain more insight into the Buddhist way of life during the “Discovering Buddhism” workshop.
