One of the most iconic temples to visit on a Signapore tour was built in 2007. Buddha’s tooth relic temple gets its name from what the Buddhists regard as the left canine tooth of Buddha, which has been recovered from his funeral pyre in Kushinagar, India and displayed on the temple’s grounds. On the third floor you will find the Buddhist Culture Museum with an array of artefacts of the Buddha, such as bone and tongue relics.
Not to miss on Singapore tours - Buddha’s Tooth Relic Temple
There are much more things to discover when you visit this temple on your Singapore day tours. Ask your guide to have a stop over at the temple.
As we are approaching the end of Hungry Ghost Festival, when ghosts are said to revisit the land of the living, don’t miss out on visiting a Getai Performance as your Singapore activities. A Getai is a usually a live stage performance held during the Ghost Festival - because ghosts love a good show too!
Entertaining the ancestors and the neighbourhood.
If a Chinese opera pops up in your neighbourhood, you know it’s to keep our ancestors happy. The performances are free, however, under no circumstances plant yourselves in the front row of seats. Ask your tour guide why.

Singapore is not only known for its awe-inspiring architecture but also as “Garden City” because of the amount of greenery and parks. You will see both aspects when you are on a Singapore tour. There is another aspect that you might see on private tours Singapore - the awe-inspiring architecture in the parks! If you visit the Southern Ridges, you will come passed the Henderson Waves, the highest pedestrian bridge in Singapore.
The bridge is built in the shape of a wave, curving and twisting along its entire 274-metre length.

Once a year we celebrate Mid Autumn Festival and can enjoy one of the very special pastries for this festival. Mooncakes are round pastries that have a rich thick filling usually made from red bean or lotus seed paste, surrounded by a thin crust and may contain yolks from salted duck eggs. They are usually eaten in small wedges accompanied by tea.

The seventh month of the lunar calendar is seen as a time where the gates of hell open, allowing the dead to visit the living. According to custom, these ghosts can get up to mischief if ignored so all sorts of offerings are made during this period, which is the seventh month in the lunar calendar. If you notice metal bins scattered around on your Singapore tour, they are specifically provided to contain the stacks of hell money and paper offerings, such as cars, watches and jewellery, that are burned by relatives to appease their deceased family members—taking care of their material needs even in the afterlife.
Here are some do’s and don’ts for you during the Hungry Ghost Festival!
Ask you guide on your Singapore day tours all about the offerings and customs for this special time of the year!
