Leong San Buddhist Temple
Leong San See Temple was established by Reverend Chun Wu in 1917, who arrived in Singapore with only an urn and a statue of Guan Yin. Recognized as a conserved site in 2014, the Temple whispers stories of the past through its intricate carvings, majestic dragons, and harmonious blend of Chinese and Buddhist styles. It's a living tapestry of architectural history, whispering stories of immigrants and devotion which stands as a testament to Singapore's rich heritage.
