Nice building. Shawls are available for those wearing short. The staffs are helpful and informative. Is a peaceful place and suitable for inner peace. Just in time for the preparation for the Wesak day a week later.

This place is at the end of Smith Street, the 3rd or 4th street adjacent to the Chinatown MRT if you exit on the Pagoda Street side. It has a lovely and large temple on the ground floor, musuems on the 3rd and 4th (or 2nd and 3rd) floors and a small roof garden on the terrace. The effect is... More

You can visit this temple in less than one hour with free entry. On the ground floor a service was going on, which was interesting to see. Monks chanting, and surrounded with coloured buddha's.

free entrance.Now thats a bonus.Right in Chinatown.They have sarongs they give you on the way in.You could wander around here for easily an hour.I found the budda body parts facinating.They looked like different colored small pearls.This area was on the third floor,I Think.A must see if you are in chinatown.

This temple was beautiful and we were fortunate enough to visit during a Buddist service. It was very welcoming and had a serene, calming atmosphere. Our taxi driver told us that around 50% of Singaporeans are Buddist so this is a must see to absorb the culture.
