Charm HSeptember 27, 2015Amazing power and energy. Sitting quietly in the temple watching the hordes of people come through is a beautiful experience. Pls respect worshippers.Upvoted Mar 16- LingsJune 25, 2014Buy flowers for offerings from the outside vendors. Joss stick, pray, rem to make a donation, collect "loose" flowers and grab a sweet :) All have some sorta Chinese significance.
Local Chinese Temple to Guanyin (mother of Mercy). Tip: visit one of the local flower or incense vendors for an offering before entering.

Eddie GohDecember 21, 2011Beware,some flowers are sprayed with spray paint for the fanciful color. Avoid buying flowers with such vendors. It may cause minor ir mqjor skin problem if use such to bath.
Large crowd every weekend especially 1st and 15th of chinese calendar unless go before 12pm.- Jess ThiaJanuary 14, 2015Ample carpark lots at nearby The Bencoolen basement carpark during weekdays ;-)
A must-go during Chinese New Year. People fight to put the 1st joss stick past midnight :)- Jess ThiaDecember 21, 20158 Dec 2015, Tue 11.50am: Beware of fake charity outside temple. Just encountered whole bunch of youngster being briefed in front of temple to start their 'Operation Renewal' "charity".
Parking is a big headache here esp on weekends. Can try parking at NTuc learning hub and walk from there.

Kwan Im Temple remains one of the major temples in Singapore with thousands of devotees visiting the temple to pray for blessings from the Goddess of Mercy.
Read about the history of the temple at the information board out front.
Seen the artifacts? Visit the Chinese Cultural Shop at 284 River Valley Rd many limited collectors items to treasure
Dennis LeongNovember 2, 2010The main hall contained Kuan Yin, Da Moh, also known as Bodhidarma, Hua Tuo and Sakyamuni Buddha.
