Haw Par Villa Photos: Trip Moments

Existing Haw Par Villa!If you love eccentric private art projects (with a strong Chinese flavour), there's a lot here to enjoy. The park is bigger than I expected and is free, apart from the Hell's Museum section, which features the (moderately famous?) luridly illustrated 10 Courts of Chinese Hell. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the museum actually deals with the whole topic of the history of religious belief in an afterlife in a quite erudite and interesting fashion. I strongly recommend the guided tour, and my guide Paul today was very good. If you have any interest in comparative religion, the $18 entry is well worth it. #hawparvillaTravelogist11

The Former Tiger Balm GardenReally enjoyed this place. So many different sculptures depicting folk stories as well as myths and weird scenes open to interpretation. It's also free! The Hell's Museum is separate and requires an entrance fee. I believe it's well worth it. Along with numerous scenes of hell and odd methods of punishment, there is a wealth of information on burial practices and beliefs I wouldn't know about otherwise. Overall, I would visit again. One of my favorite places in Singapore. #singaporetrip #thingstodoshe travels7

Haw Par Villa Pre-Wedding ShootHaw Par Villa, situated in the heart of Singapore, is not your typical backdrop for pre-wedding photos. Yet, within its surreal and often bizarre sculptures, this unconventional park offers a unique canvas for couples seeking a one-of-a-kind pre-wedding shoot experience. From whimsical folklore figures to vibrant, otherworldly scenes, Haw Par Villa is a treasure trove of visual surprises waiting to be discovered. Sharing my own pre-wedding shoot adventure at this remarkable location, showcasing how love and unconventionality can harmoniously coexist. My goal is to inspire soon-to-be-weds and fellow explorers to think beyond the ordinary and consider Haw Par Villa as a backdrop for their special day. #singaporeSereneKoh109

This Park Contains Over 1.000 Statues😲🗿#timetotravel Haw Par Villa is a theme park located along Pasir Panjang Road in Singapore. The park contains over 1,000 statues and 150 giant dioramas depicting scenes from Chinese mythology, folklore, legends, history, and illustrations of various aspects of Confucianism. Haw Par Villa is famous for its vivid depictions of the Ten Courts of Hell from Chinese folklore. Many Singaporeans will cheekily reminisce about being brought there as children by their parents, to learn about the exacting nature of traditional Chinese morality. 🧮Haw Par Villa 262 Pasir Panjang Rd, Singapore 118628 #instagramworthydestinations #trip #travelMersizi10

Haw Par Villa#singapore My wife and I were in the bus when we passed by Haw Par Villa. I immediately asked her to go down with me as I wanna relive my childhood memories from here. I also wanted to give her a chance to explore this place. When I was young, our primary school brought us here on an excursion. It was very lively there. There was also a boat ride then. Now, Haw Par Villa is quite quiet. However, there are still staff who maintain the statutes there. I really appreciate the work they put so that this plsce can be preserved and appreciated by the next generation. Address: 262 Pasir Panjang Rd, Singapore 118628Bret Huat45

A charming (and a bit scary) place- Haw Par VillaHaw Par Villa is a fascinating and unique attraction, I’d say there is no where like this in the world. Its Chinese traditional stories are showcased through hundreds of statues, you can spend the whole day here if you are willing to explore it in detail. Highly recommended for those interested in Asian mythology and folklore.#mytripvlogErica’s the way28
Haw Par VillaBy far most one of my favorite places to be in Singapore. The Haw Par Villa is a beautiful park with amazing sculptures. Very artistic work here. The entire Villa, has history of Singapore. Talking about the country. If you’re interested in studying and learning more about Singapore. I highly suggest you come and check this place out. They also have a section about the different methods of torture being used in the past. Hope you enjoy this attraction.Rene Lee15

💫WEIRDLY WONDERFUL HAW PAR VILLA💫Address - Haw Par Villa is located at 262 Pasir Panjang Road, Singapore 118628 Getting There - I recommend taking the MRT as it’s the most straightforward way to get there. Alight at Haw Par Villa MRT (Circle Line, yellow) and proceed to Exit A ( CC25 ). Highlights - THE 10 COURTS OF HELL & CHINESE 🇨🇳FABLES AND STORIES. Rating - 7.5/10 This Chinese culture theme park was slated to be one of Singapore’s 🇸🇬 major tourist attractions back in the day, though these days it is more of a nostalgic curiosity and is somewhat shabby and mostly forgotten. Haw Par Villa is still home to some of the weirdest sculptures I’ve seen though, and worth a visit if you like quirky attractions without a crowd (and also… free!).😀 Haw Par Villa isn’t very big – you can easily explore it in 1-2 hours. THE 10 COURTS OF HELL. The most famous section of Haw Par Villa that any one who has ever visited it back in the day is the 10 Courts of Hell, an idea rooted in the Buddhist belief that you reap what you sow. Basically the belief is that all your sins in life are punishable in death, and the worst your sin, the more epically gory your torture will be. To end this, I took about 2 hours to circle the park without a tour, it’s a little hilly so be prepared to walk a bit. Also, no air-conditioning so consider a paper fan or a hat 👒 to stay cool – there are benches here and there to sit down. #singapore #awesomepic #culturewalk #hawparvillaBan Mohamed21

Tiger Balm Garden#meetsingapore How Far Villa - Tiger Balm Garden What is great from this place is FREE ENTRANCE! You can visit this place and learning about outdoor art gallery of the Mythical God & Buddhism Religion. There is a lot of statues inside the park, the most iconic statues that I had seen is The Otherworld Experiences. The 10 Courts of Hell, the art is a little bit frightening when you see it. You will feel yourself immerse in hell itself. What is amazing from this place is you can take a lot of good photos with the statues and all of it is a good photos. Try visit yourself here! #singapore #howparvilla #statue #outdoorartWillis Gravitan13

A Day at Haw Par VillaWith all that Covid tied down without easy Overseas Travel, it’s time to rediscover Singapore! While the opening crowd has died down for booking of the newly opened “hell museum”, reservation for a slot is much easier now! Hell Museum: Air conditioned , very educational with histories of the various religions and their beliefs , followed be the famous clear depicting of the different level of punishments in the so-called Hell. the main park is pretty dated, with an in-house Café . there ponds filled with tortoise everywhere and feeds can be bought at various stands to hype it up a little for the little discoverers you’re bringing along ! #tigeryear2022 #rediscoversg #SpooktacularTrip #SGInsiderZomo11

It is a very beautiful place, shady. There are statues on display about teachings and religions, very beautiful, free entry as well, next to the train station, convenient to travel.
Tiger Panther Villa is a famous tourist attraction in Singapore. Hong Kong also has Tiger Panther Villa Wanjin Oil Garden, but the two places are different. There is also a Hell Museum, but there is an additional charge.
The Hubao Villa is quite large in space. The area of the whole area is also very unique. There are a lot of facilities around the villa. The visit to the whole area is also very convenient. The villa building method is also very special. It is a very unique independent area.
nice park for walk. try to do it in the evening time to avoid the sun. a bit of hiking is involved.
Tiger Leopard Villa is precisely a private residential garden area, built by Hu Wenbao and Hu Wenhu brothers, the founder of Singaporean Chinese Wanjinyou, and an educational park area. Along the main road, there are sculptures and paintings of characters in traditional Chinese novels and myths, feudal tablets, travels to the west, Eight Immortals crossing the sea, foolish Gong moving mountains, white snake biography and Meng Po Tang, which promote China. Traditional virtues, benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom and belief, and the basic moral cultivation of life in fact, these ancient Chinese cultures and myths are also deeply rooted in the hearts of some Chinese and Southeast Asian people. Friends are authentic Singaporeans who know more about them than I do. They will also use these historical myths to illustrate the truth when they read books. It is very valuable to educate students to be human beings here. Eighteen levels of hell must go in to play, ghosts and ghosts are in it, as well as all kinds of retribution and torture that will happen if you do evil things are shown in the form of sculpture or flexibility, warning people to do more good things before they die.
One of the last of its kind. Hope they continue to restore the statues and exhibits. they are already worn out. Nice to know about some of chinese history and fables.
Amazing Sceneries. Feel satisfied
