Tan Si Chong Su, Chinese ancestral hall at Magazine Road, Singapore
Tan Si Chong Su features three ceremonial halls with curved roof ridges adorned with ceramic dragons, phoenixes, and flowers representing traditional Chinese architecture.
The temple, constructed between 1876 and 1878, became a national monument in 1974 and originally stood closer to Singapore River before land reclamation.
The ancestral temple maintains tablets of notable Tan clan members and houses shrines dedicated to Chen Sheng Wang, Emperor Shun, and the Goddess of Mercy.
The temple complex includes an entrance hall, main hall for deities, and a rear hall where visitors can observe traditional Chinese religious ceremonies.
Two granite lions guard the entrances, with visitors traditionally entering through the Dragon Door and exiting through the Tiger Gate.
