“Koon Seng Ting Temple, among the oldest Buddhist temples in Telok Blangah, has stood at the base of a hill for more than a century, dating back to 1881. Reflecting a blend of cultural influences, its architectural style mirrors the amalgamation of various Chinese communities in Nanyang. This temple, nestled in a serene and secluded setting, provides devotees and visitors with an isolated ambience ideal for prayer, meditation, and relaxation. Initially serving as a vegetarian hall for female orphans and women, it has evolved into a haven where individuals seek inner peace. Visitors and devotees frequent the temple to attain tranquillity of mind, drawn in particular by the imposing statue of Guanyin in the front yard, which serves as a prominent landmark in the vicinity. Within the temple, resident monks diligently recite mantras and extend prayers to all who visit, contributing to its spiritual ambience.
