Thian Hock Keng Temple, Singapore

I would say that this is a must when visiting Singapore. The temple was established on this site in 1839. There are a group of buildings surrounding a courtyard: an entrance hall, a main hall, and a rear hall. It is worth the visit to see the intricate carvings and the beautiful statues. There were a lot of local people in the temple worshiping while we visited, so it helped us to see and learn about a culture that we knew very little about. It was a wonderful experience.

It was a good temple very old and like all places this one's maintained properly. Singapore is a very good place which is controlled by their government in all possible ways. You will get a feeling of peace once inside the temple premises. Would be good if you have a localite or guide who will take you through such places explaining its importance and history. Overall a great place!

Neat little temple. Small size which is good for a quick visit and moving on. Saw some tour groups pass by so must be pretty popular. Free to take pictures except for the main praying area.

Historical Temple. There's a small cafe next door with local desserts. There's a peranakan tiles shop as well. Interestingly enough there's a mosque next to the temple and then a church further down the road. One of the more interesting roads in Singapore

The experience was amazing. Though we did not know Mandarin or Cantonese the person lots of initiative to explain about the temple. We wanted to carry souvenirs they suggested few good things and there is no cost attached to it. They asked us to donate whatever we wanted to donate. Actually we were about to donate and they said so much for money is not required. So honest. Very humbling experience.
