Beautiful and well maintained slice of Singapore's cultural heritage. Thian Hock Keng Temple catered to the migrants of yesteryear, and still caters to their modern counterparts today, paying homage to the Guanyin of the Southern seas (Nanyang) for safe passage and fortune. Helpful and tastefully placed infographics and writeups were placed appropriately throughout as well.

Another ornate temple were then statues and artefacts inside were both beautiful and fascinating. A few restrictions on where you can not take photos so bear that in mind. Make sure you ring some of the bells for good luck.

I visited the Thian Hock Keng temple and it was a very peaceful visit. This is the oldest temple in Singapore and has Chinese heritage in terms of the impressive architecture. The temple is open during day time and you don't need a ticket to enter. There are incence and candles available for free but a donation is recommended. It has some areas where photography is prohibited but the main temple grounds is not. Highly recommended!

Thian Hock Keng Temple is an example of traditional Chinese architecture and one of Singapore’s oldest temples. Admission is free, and the temple is well-maintained with informative plaques for visitors. Be mindful in hot weather - the smell from traditional burnings can be quite intense, better to bring some water. Also there are parts where photos and videos are not allowed to provide privacy to those who pray.
