Going to crash post all my entries which I have omitted for... months? After many months of "I will be heading to Haw Par Villa", I finally get to go! (Again with my photography kaki- I guess I really find it hard to be taking photo alone.. Makes me feel like odd one out in the crowds LOL) Extracted from Wikipedia: Haw Par Villa (Chinese: 虎豹别墅) is a Chinese mythological theme park in Singapore, located along Pasir Panjang Road. The park contains over 1,000 statues and 150 giant dioramas depicting scenes from Chinese folklore, legends, history, and illustrating various aspects of Confucianism. These include The Laughing Buddha, The Goddess of Mercy, The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and most famously The Ten Courts of Hell, a depiction of a gruesome underworld of tortures and torments set in the mouth of a 60-meter-long dragon. Within this place, you can find a lot of interesting statues which comes from myth and legends. Opening Hours: 9am to 7pm Admission: Free The Entranc
