temples
Chinatown has three tourist attraction temples that individually are not too spectacular especially after spend months in Hong Kong and India. Collectively though they demonstrate the diversity and relative religious freedom in Singapore. Merely two blocks apart is the Sri Mariamman Temple, Singapore's first Hindu temple constructed in 1843, and the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple. Both temples are "active" and while the practitioners continue to represent the corresponding historical religion and ethic matches it's still noteworthy that they practice in peace.
