1 day Temples Tour








(Loyang Tua Pek Kong Temple - 洛阳大伯公宫)




Today, I accompanied my mum for a 1 day temples tour organized by my area CC committee. We board the coach at around 8am and we were brought to 2 temples, the Loyang Tua Pek Kong Temple (洛阳大伯公宫) and the Paya Lebar Temple (菲菜岜城隍宫). However before that, we actually stopped by the food factory at Bedok industrial area to buy some cheap food.

Actually these 2 temples I have not been there before, so it’s a good opportunity for me to pay a visit. The Loyang Tua Pek Kong Temple looks very grand from both externally and internally, especially the crafting work and the ceiling decorations (View Photos below). I think it was relocated from another location to this new location since banner showing 1st anniversary was displayed there.

After leaving Loyang Tua Pek Kong Temple, we were brought to Changi Village to have our lunch at own expense before proceeding to Paya Lebar Temple for a visit.

At the Paya Lebar Temple, although it is not as grand as the Loyang Tua Pek Kong Temple, but there are still some interesting things for viewing, especially the Chinese Opera with a large Opera Stage and some other decorations.

Overall, it was a fruitful tour, however more than half the day was gone after the tour ended around 3pm. That leaves me not much time left for doing my own work…
