This Tang-styled Chinese Buddhist temple’s richly designed interiors and comprehensive exhibits on Buddhist art and history tell stories of culture over thousands of years old.

Chinatown
Chinatown Complex is a repository of unique architectural heritage showcasing shophouses with exteriors decorated in Chinese-style tile ornaments and motifs. Previously, street hawkers would ply their trade in pushcarts all over Chinatown causing congested traffic, resulting in the construction of Chinatown Complex to resettle them without losing the district’s unique character. Today, Chinatown complex is a popular place to dine & shop.
Smith Street
Walk through several alleys with ethnic picturesque shophouses, Instagrammable murals by local artist Yip Yew Chong and have a rest stop at a traditional coffeeshop, feeling the nostalgia and tradition of coffee beans being roasted and ground at their backyard back in the old days.
