Haw Par Villa

An eccentric park built in 1937 by the Aw brothers, makers of Tiger Balm. More than a thousand statues and dioramas illustrate Chinese mythology, legends and moral lessons; the most famous scene, the Ten Courts of Hell, depicts graphic punishments for sinners. Admission is free, the crowds are far thinner than at mainstream Singapore attractions, and an MRT station of the same name sits right at the gate.
