Kong Men San Phor Kark See Monastery

As the largest Buddhist temple in Singapore, this monumental structure is revered for the many services it provides to the local Buddhist population. It’s especially worth visiting during Buddhist festivals like Vesak Day. The architectural style shows some Chinese influence (which should come as no surprise given that most Buddhists in Singapore are Chinese). It also houses some unique artefacts like the Bodhi Tree, which is believed to be related to the very same tree Buddha attained enlightenment under, and a gargantuan bronze statue of Buddha himself – one of the largest found in Asia.
