Singapore just unveiled a gem - The Buddha's Tooth Relic Temple. Limited by space, instead of a traditional Chinese temple's flat layout, this temple goes vertical, different halls on different levels, with bell tower and drum tower integrated. It is a combination of the Buddhist Mandala and Chinese Tang Dyansty architecture.What is most amazing about this place is the fine workmanship, the elegance of statues, the decorations. Magnificent!
