Siong Lim Temple, Buddhist temple in Toa Payoh, Singapore.
The monastery contains three main halls divided by two courtyards, with a central axis running from north to south following Chinese architectural principles.
Low Kim Pong, a Chinese merchant, established the temple in 1898 after having a vision of golden light, leading to its completion in 1907.
The temple features a seven-story gold-topped pagoda modeled after the 800-year-old Shanfeng temple pagoda from Fujian, China.
The temple maintains a columbarium for Qing Ming Festival visits and conducts regular Buddhist ceremonies, prayer sessions, and meditation programs.
The temple name, Lian Shan Shuang Lin, references the twin groves of sala trees in Bodhgaya, India, where Buddha reached enlightenment.
