Haw Par Villa was established by the founders of Tiger Balm to impart traditional Chinese values to the community through statues and dioramas inspired by Chinese mythology, legends and Confucianism.
One of the main features here is the 10 Courts of Hell that tries to imprint on your mind the nasty punishments one would have to deal with in hell, depending on the severity of sins committed. It is way past it’s heyday when a boat ride used to run through the 10 Courts, but the good news is that it’s now completely free to enter.

Tucked away in the northern tip of Singapore of Sembawang Air Base, this natural hot spring evokes a rustic element for those who come for its water. The waters here are believed to have healing properties, so it is a common sight to see visitors collecting pails of hot spring water to soak in.
This is a far cry from the luxurious hot springs you visit when you travel overseas but why complain when you don’t need to fork out a single cent?
