β β β β β A quaint and small museum directly next to Amoy Hotel, of the early days of Chinese immigrants in Singapore. Not much to see, except that it offers a peek of how shophouses used to be back in the days.

β β β β β According to the plaque at the entrance, this temple is one of the oldest around since the 1820s. The temple, founded by the Hakka and Cantonese immigrants, served as a place of worship and a social meeting place for the two communities. The temple was closed in 1994 and has since been converted into a museum.
Inside, you can find a diorama depicting a street scene outside the temple with the early immigrants going about their daily life. If you are wondering why there is a pier with boats docking along it, that is because this place used to be a coastal area. Much of Telok Ayer is built on reclaimed land.
In fact, the name Telok Ayer actually means "Water Bay".

β β β β β Amazing miniature showing old days of the area. Love it! Reviews I have read before visiting did not give an impression on the templeβs size. In fact it is quite tiny.

β β β β β Lovely miniature display of how life was in the 1820s! Life was hard in those days though...note the coolies around the back taking a break from hauling people around on his rickshaw.
Amazing to see this beautiful temple right downtown, and interesting how you can walk through the beautiful timber and stone structure...to get to the AMOY hotel and a Japanese restaurant!

β β β β β Singapore's oldest temple was dedicated to Tua Pek Kong. it has now been converted into a museum. Besides that it has integrated into part of a boutique hotel. In the Museum, you will be able to browse over 200 artifacts donated by residents in Chinatown, which will give you a glimpse into the way of life of the early immigrants.

β β β β β This is such a well preserved location and if you are in the CBD area, i would encourage you to walk over and see it. The external facade is well preserved and distinctive from the more modern adjacent buildings. The interiors have been well organized and maintained with some great natural lighting to accentuate the various fittings and pieces on display.

β β β β β What's a 2m by 1.5m acrylic display that 'turn-on' my imagination, picking out details of the scene of the moments. I have always stressed that Photography is one small part of the bigger story-telling pictures presentation...
How else can we do Street Photography when we can't do stationary subjects? It has always been the storyteller's capability and ability to translate stories to visuals.
