Thian Hock Keng Temple

By Christina Lau Lay Lian, Mouth and Foot Painting Artists

Thian Hock Keng stands as a timeless tribute to faith and tradition, nestled in the heart of Singapore’s Chinatown. It was built in honour of 'Mazu', a Chinese sea goddess, and it is located in Singapore. As the oldest and most important Hokkien temple in the country, its walls whisper stories of devotion, hope, and journeys across the seas. With intricate architecture and a soul steeped in history, Thian Hock Keng is more than a temple, it is a guardian of heritage, a symbol of cultural pride, and a spiritual anchor through time.
