Lian Shan Shuang Lin Monastery 🇸🇬
#singapore
I would really recommend anyone who loves arts and culture this place. It takes an hour or two to indulge in the history of this place, it is 120 years old but it is very well maintained.
It's my first visit to the monastery, although I've been living in the neighborhood for 8 years, you left me very impressed. I didn’t realize how huge the monastery was, and the amazing structures of each temple.
The monastery usually closes at 5pm, but it happens to be a Mid-Autumn Festival so they remained open until 10pm. So it was a really rare occasion to visit at night and admire the motifs of the lantern they put in.
If we had more time, we would have spent 2-3 hours slowly studying the temple and spending more time in each temple.
The monastery is located in the middle of residential properties and not far from where I live. I discovered that beauty is on my doorstep and no need to fly around Asia to find a nice temple like this temple. Very large with many features. I came straight at a time when Buddhist monks were reading verses, so he gave an extra spiritual feeling. Some places are very quiet with beautiful garden sculptures and interesting wooden sculpture. Great dragons on rooftops (see photos). The place is really active and open to visitors, everyone is friendly and you can take pictures almost everywhere (except as usual from Buddha). I really loved it and I will bring my family next time, after every walking distance!

Lian Shan Shuang Lin Monastery
Address:
184 Jalan Toa Payoh, Singapore 319944
Highlights:
Peaceful, serene and beautiful monastery. This is the oldest Buddhist monastery in Singapore and the second largest. It was built in 1898, and completed it's restoration in 2016.
This monastery has a rich history that stretches back more than a hundred years ago. There are amazing architectures like the Buddha of a Thousand Hands, and the super tall Pagoda. The surrounding is very soothing and comforting.
Free entrance. Would encourage everyone to pay a visit to this amazing monastery. It is usually super crowded during Chinese New Year.

One of the oldest Buddhist Temple in SG
Address - 184 Jalan Toa Payoh
Highlights - The Lian Shan Shuang Lin Monastery is one of the oldest Buddhist temple in Singapore and it’s first building, the Mahavira Hall, was built in 1904. The temple complex is sprawling and contains many other halls and buildings such as the Tian Wang Dian (Hall of Heavenly Kings), Dharma Hall, Drum Tower, Bell Tower etc..
The monastery is undergoing renovation and restorations in batches and donations is sought to help defray the cost. As a result, some parts of the complex may not be open/facade covered. The monastery also houses a columbarium and many Singaporean Chinese have their ancestors housed there so the place is especially crowded during Chinese New Year and Qing Ming (tomb sweeping festival). Go during this period to experience the local Chinese culture in Singapore.
Rating - 4.5/5

Lian Shan Shuang Lin Monastery in Singapore
#singaporetrips Lian Shan Shuang Lin Monastery is a popular temple among Singaporeans, especially during the Chinese New Year, as many visit to pray for good fortune. The temple grounds are spacious and serene, offering a peaceful atmosphere for visitors. Although the temple is located slightly outside the city center, getting there is quite easy.
To reach the temple, take the MRT Downtown Line (Blue Line) from Chinatown Station to Rochor Station. Then, transfer to Bus No. 57 and walk approximately 500 meters following Google Maps.
If I have the chance to visit Singapore again, I will definitely return to this beautiful temple!

The Breathtaking Monastery
#singaporetrip This breathtaking monastery was established in 1898 and inspired by the Xi Chang Shi temple in Fuzhou, China. Two majestic gates frame the entrance, while further to the right is a seven-storey pagoda adorned with carvings. Inside the complex, shaded pathways lead from bonsai-filled courtyards to the monastery's three main halls, of which the Mahavira Hall is the most spectacular.
To the left of the monastery stands the weathered Cheng Huang Temple, dedicated to the Town God, administrator of justice in the netherworld. The main hall was built in 1912, its thick beams stained from decades of incense smoke.
The monastery and temple are about a 1km walk east of Toa Payoh MRT station.

Pray for blessings at Lian Shan Shuang Lin Monastery

LianShan ShuangLin Monastery is located quite far from the city center. Due to the faith of Thai people, it is really popular these days. Most of the people who come to this temple are usually locals. You can walk inside the temple. The temple is very beautiful. Both the temple and the pagoda are also there. There is also a thousand-armed Guanyin. It is not just the temple in front.
Good luck, be rich, be healthy, everyone. 🙏🙏🙏

Lian Shan Shuang Lin Monastery, a temple that those who believe in superstition must not miss when visiting Singapore 🇸🇬
Lian Shan Shuang Lin Monastery is a temple that Singaporeans like to worship, especially during the Chinese New Year festival for good fortune. The temple grounds are spacious and shady. When we went, there weren't many people. The temple is quite far from the city, but getting there is not difficult. We took the MRT Blue Line from Chinatown Station to Rochor Station and then took bus no. 57. You have to look at the map carefully. Be careful not to miss the sign because the road is clear and the bus runs very slowly. Once you get off, walk another 500 meters according to Google Maps. If you come with a large group, I recommend calling a taxi.
There are hundreds of deities in the temple. You will definitely be filled with merit. ☺️ There are sets of incense paper and candles for worship. If you have never worshiped before, don't worry. At the temple, there will be an uncle who takes care of the temple to advise you on what to do. And what you can't miss is the Shuang Lin Monastery amulet. Buy it as a souvenir for your friends. They will definitely love it. Maybe I'll win the lottery too ✨️
If I have a chance to go to Singapore again, I'll definitely go back to pray. 🇸🇬🙆♀️
