About Haw Par Villa Singapore

The strangest and most fascinating attraction in Singapore - a theme park of 1,000 statues and 150 dioramas depicting Chinese mythology, Confucian values, and grotesque moral lessons built by the Tiger Balm brothers in 1937. The infamous Ten Courts of Hell diorama is unforgettably disturbing.
