Haw Par Villa is a weird and wonderful little part of Singapore!
Formerly known as Tiger Balm Park, Haw Par Villa was founded by the Tiger Balm Brothers, who had moved their business from Myanmar to Singapore in 1937. It’s filled with old Chinese myths and folklore, the 10 Courts of Hell being one of the more popular attractions.
Would you ever wander through this place?
It’s such a macabre place, isn’t it? 🙂 One thing that always unsettles me are how even the normal people statues have such pale faces and blood red lips. Somehow, that is creepier than the monsters.
