Haw Par Villa June 2022

Visited Haw Par Villa which is very rich in culture and brings back memories. Glad that it is reopened to the public.

Took something light at the sixth milestone cafe. Chicken porridge and vegetarian bee hoon with coffee. Can only say it's edible 😅

The Hell's museum is new and charges $18 for entry. It is closed on Mon and Tues which is why I visited on a Wednesday.The 10 courts of Hell sculptures are now placed with the other exhibits. Learning more about the culture of life after death. The entry fees is really justifiable with so much efforts bringing the exhibits to allow us understand more on culture involving deaths.

Heaven

Hell

Station 1 is where you watch a video on the paths of afterlife in different cultures. There is even a display of a coffin that can be seen through the glass on the ground.

Station 2 provided information on how different cultures perceived the afterlife 

Station 3 is a mocked graveyard in the open garden.

Station 4 is a display of prayers and verses from different religions and cultures.

Entering the 10 courts of hell. The sculptures are well maintained and still look the same as those in my memory. The sculptures are a reminder to uphold virtues and conduct in your lifetime or you will be punished in the afterlife in hell.

Entry to the Jade house which showcased the history of Haw Par Villa is free.

Many cute animal sculptures to take pictures with.

The virtues and values of Chinese legends and myths delivered via the sculptures.

The sea spirit sculptures around the turtles pond. The turtles have mansions in the pond! You can buy the feed for the turtles at $1 per pack.

Very special flower floating in the pond.

The turtles seemed comfortable with their mansion.

All the sculptures have a story to tell. Many conveying the virtues and values through myths.

We simply do not understand why the car is being prayed to.

There is a MRT station just next to Haw Par Villa.
