Buddha Tooth Relic Temple and Museum

Visit the temple from Maxwell and continue through Chinatown.

Station code: TE18

Study the red timber gateway and eaves before entering areas open to visitors. Architectural detail and active religious life offer different ways to understand the place; slow down and give worshippers space during ceremonies.

Follow the temple’s dress and photography rules and adapt to the floors open that day. Afterwards, the Chinatown shophouses provide a transition back to street life. Food stops need their own allowance.

Suggested visit allowance: 30–40 minutes
