Yueh Hai Ching Temple (Wak Hai Cheng Bio)
The Yueh Hai Ching Temple in Singapore, built in 1826 and renovated in 1855, is a great example of southern Chinese temple architecture, specifically in the Teochew architectural style from the Qing Dynasty. It is a Taoist temple.
The current structure of this shrine dates back to 1850 and then was substantially renovated in 1895. Since then, it has undergone several restorations.
The temple was designated as a National Monument of Singapore in 1996. Its restoration and conservation in 2011 earned the Award of Merit at the 2014 UNESCO Asia-Pacific Heritage Awards.
The courtyard of Yueh Hai Ching Temple, enclosed by surrounding walls and buildings, possesses a sense of introspection.
Its seclusion from the outside world creates a tranquil, self-contained space, as a serene retreat within the temple grounds.
