EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the enchanting world of Haw Par Villa, a hidden gem nestled along Pasir Panjang Road in Singapore. Built in 1937 and circa 1938, this unique garden is a captivating blend of culture, history, and mythology. The entrance, adorned with intricately carved gates and guarded by a fierce tiger, invites visitors to explore the winding paths that lead to over 1,000 statues and dioramas. Haw Par Villa, also known as Tiger Balm Garden, was the brainchild of Aw Boon Haw and Aw Boon Par, brothers who made their fortune from the production and sale of Tiger Balm, a popular traditional ointment. The garden was built as a tribute to their Chinese heritage and to share the teachings of ancient Chinese mythology and folklore with the world. As you stroll through the garden, you'll encounter scenes from Chinese mythology, including the Ten Courts of Hell, the Great Wall of China, and the Journey to the West. Each diorama tells a story, bringing the myths to life in a way that is both educational and entertaining. The garden's rich history and cultural significance make it a must-visit destination for anyone interested in Singapore's past. With its stunning architecture, intriguing displays, and peaceful atmosphere, Haw Par Villa is a true treasure that transports visitors to another time and place.
