Haw Par Villa

A Unique Singapore Attraction

Formerly known as ‘Tiger Balm Gardens’, Haw Par Villa is a popular attraction that is home to more than 1,000 statues and numerous dioramas which showcase scenes from a variety of legends and folklore. Also highlighting aspects of Confucianism, this fascinating park was constructed by two brothers, Aw Boon Par and Aw Boon Haw. The various dioramas and statues which were created in order to instil traditional Chinese values include the famous ‘Ten Courts of Hell’, a rather gruesome depiction of the fate that awaits mortals who descend to hell! Travellers in search of centrally located accommodation options can stay at an Orchard Road hotel Singapore such as Orchard Hotel Singapore. This well placed hotel Singapore is convenient for shopping and sightseeing excursions and business activities.
