[2025 Singapore Attraction] Travel Guide for Foo Hai Ch'an Monastery (Updated Jun)

The big monastery building is located at the geylang east area where most HDB blocks are located. The grand temple is spectacular. There are two general warriors placed at the entrance to guide the place. Do you know that every morning, they will knock the bell more than a hundred times as part of their tradition. You would get to hear the loud and gentle side of the bell sound. There are many Buddha statues as well as a close to 10 meters tall guang yin statue. If you are a Buddhist person, be sure to visit this monastery. The nearest train station is few minutes walk from the aljunied line. #mysgmemories #tripblazers

#2024wish My 2024 travel wish is to visit Haikou. I would like to visit their shopping street and their food street there to try out their food there. I hope to visit their local attractions and museums there too. There are various sections in the temple. On the main entrance is the worshippers praying area to the Guan yin Buddha. On the other side is the columbarium where people pay respect to the deceased members. The temple was well organized, neat, and very clean. Free admission to everyone. Do pay a visit into the temple.
