Beautiful chinese temple , the exterior is an interesting mix of traditional Tang style with modern concept. The interior is also lovely that can evoke inner spirit of worshippers.

Go to the fourth floor to see the namesake of the temple , Buddha's Tooth. Take the stairs to the garden from there. The museum has a wide collection of relics and artifacts as well .

Beautiful interior , majestic seated Maitreya statue in the main hall. Check out all the Buddhas in niches all around the sides. And there's a museum upstairs and a giant prayer wheel.

I was in a rush, so only explored the 1st floor. But they have much more upstairs and is a mixture of China, Japan, Tibetan Buddhism .

Located in the heart of China Town , this Chinese Buddhist Temple is must see while in Singapore. The dress code is quite strict, but don't worry, there are saris to borrow at the door!

The first Buddha temple I saw with a lift. Buddha's tooth is stored at the 5th floor in a golden box 5m behind the glass, so you won't see much of it but the place is brilliant so it won't matter :)

Kars Alfrink

Impressive building with an interior to match. Worth a visit if only to take a breather from the Chinatown bustle outside.

MUST DO. If you're not properly attired (understandable on a hot, humid day), even the exterior is fabulous. Take lots of pictures for Instagramming.
