Visiting Singapore's oldest Temple





































This is the temple Thian Hock Keng, built in 1821. It's original purpose was "Protector Of Sojourners" and Chinese immigrants for safe passage. Present day it is a National Monument and what a beautiful sight it is. It was built using only bricks and wooden posts - no nails! And the amazing detail designs, it was a real pleasure to visit. It's leaves me with goosbumps knowing great warriors once prayed here.
