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.

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.

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.
