Buddha Tooth Relic Temple, Singapore

This grand Buddhist temple in the heart of Chinatown is one of the most beautiful and sacred temples in Singapore. Visitors are welcome to explore the temple's 5 floors which include a library, tea house, and a museum of Buddhist art from across Asia. The temple's namesake tooth relic, believed to come from the Buddha himself, is kept in a worship hall on the 4th floor. Early birds can observe the morning chanting and drum rituals beginning around 5:00, or there's a similar closing ceremony at 18:00. Don't forget to visit the meditative rooftop garden for beautiful orchids plus a panoramic view of Chinatown. The temple is an active place of worship and visitors are requested to dress appropriately. - Tanya Procyshyn
