This Taoist temple, built in 1821 by seamen
grateful for a safe passage, stands where Singapore's
waterfront used to be before reclamation.
The materials used
to construct the temple are truly international, with
ironwork from Scotland, tiles from England and Delft, and
towering granite pillars entwined with dragons. Many
ancestral tablets stand in the courtyard, and massive lions
mount guards at the doors.
