Thian Hock Keng

Visited the temple, Thian Hock Keng this weekend. Turned out to be an architectural masterpiece. It plays an important roll in Singapore’s history from the 1800s. Details of the temple’s history are recorded on stone steles inside the Entrance Hall.
It was magnificent, colourful & interesting to observe the greetings & welcoming of visitors outside the entrance. The architectural wonder & the fragrant incense in the air made it to a pleasure to just stand back, take it in & observe it all.

CapitaSpring

CapitaSpring, 280m tall, 51-storey skyscraper in the central business district. Like so many other buildings in Singapore, the architecture is intriguing.

A large part of it is dedicated to nature. There’s a four-story’s promenade open to the public with 38,000 botanical plants on level 51, an urban farm on level 17 that produces fresh vegetables & a hawker center on level 2 with 56 food stalls.

The meandering walkways are surrounded by bushes, trees, flowers & all kinds of plants. And the views is probably the best in Singapore ⭐️
