Seng Wong Beo Temple

The Chinese are one of the three major ethnic groups in Singapore, and the people living in Singapore are mainly Chaoshan and Minnan people, who have the deepest religious beliefs. So it is not surprising to see a temple like the Duchenghuang Temple. The building is very beautiful and there are many believers.

The Capital God Temple is a very small Buddhist temple, but it is very clean, and the decoration inside is very good. The temple was built in the early twentieth century. Painted wooden doors, dragons, tigers and many other crafts must be seen. Because it's not in the city center, it's not as crowded as many other temples.

This is an ancient temple with a long history. It has two entrances and one courtyard. It faces south and has a main hall in front and back. Behind the main hall is the Tai Sui Xingjun Pavilion, which enshrines the statue of Dou Mu Yuanjun. The building is very exquisite and small in scale. It looks very small in the streets full of high-rise buildings. There are folk cultural performances during every celebration. The scene is very lively. People hold incense and candles and worship very devoutly. You can take a look if you pass by.

The City God is one of the gods in China's ancient culture and has a profound influence on the people. In the early 20th century, the incense of the City God also came to Singapore with our ancestors and has been worshipped ever since. The City God Temple was named Du, which means the protector of the city. It was founded by the monk Master Rui Yu and had a strong Buddhist color from the beginning. However, after his death in 1953, the City God Temple was taken over by lay disciples. They brought non-Buddhist rituals into the City God Temple, making its Buddhist color increasingly faded and the folk belief color increasingly strong. It is also famous for holding ghost marriages.

Capital God Temple is a very small temple, belonging to a Taoist temple. Because of its small size, there are not many pilgrims praying here. It also shows a cleaner atmosphere. However, the whole building has a strong sense of Chinese history and is worth visiting along the road.
