Lian Shan Shuang Lin Monastery 🇸🇬

#singapore

I would really recommend anyone who loves arts and culture this place. It takes an hour or two to indulge in the history of this place, it is 120 years old but it is very well maintained.

It's my first visit to the monastery, although I've been living in the neighborhood for 8 years, you left me very impressed. I didn’t realize how huge the monastery was, and the amazing structures of each temple.

The monastery usually closes at 5pm, but it happens to be a Mid-Autumn Festival so they remained open until 10pm. So it was a really rare occasion to visit at night and admire the motifs of the lantern they put in.

If we had more time, we would have spent 2-3 hours slowly studying the temple and spending more time in each temple.

The monastery is located in the middle of residential properties and not far from where I live. I discovered that beauty is on my doorstep and no need to fly around Asia to find a nice temple like this temple. Very large with many features. I came straight at a time when Buddhist monks were reading verses, so he gave an extra spiritual feeling. Some places are very quiet with beautiful garden sculptures and interesting wooden sculpture. Great dragons on rooftops (see photos). The place is really active and open to visitors, everyone is friendly and you can take pictures almost everywhere (except as usual from Buddha). I really loved it and I will bring my family next time, after every walking distance!
