This place was built as sort of an philanthropist/educational/religious wonderland 80 or so years ago. In the 80’s the Singapore government tried to redevelop it as a theme park, but it rapidly went bust. Now the ruins are open to the public — the plaques are mostly too weathered to read, so many of these sculptures and dioramas and such are presented without explanation.
It might be that if I were more versed in Chinese folklore there would’ve been stories around every corner, but as it is I must present these photos without comment.
