@@@ March 3, 2018 Location: Singapore (Buddha Tooth Relic Temple, Little India and MerLion)

Life wouldn’t be complete without a visit to at least one temple each trip. Buddha Tooth Relic Temple is located in Chinatown so only a few blocks away for me. A newcomer, it dates from 2005 but build in the Chinese Tang Dynasty style.
