This Buddhist temple is one of the largest places of worship in Singapore. It is the biggest complex of temples in Singapore and amongst one of the largest in South-East Asia. Examples of Chinese decoration, statues and shrines are found within peaceful gardens and the constant hum of prayers add to the tranquility. Saffron roofs, adorned with dragons and birds, compete with fire-engine-red doors to arrest the attention.
