Summary
[edit]DescriptionHaw Par Villa, a fading attraction (3140344287).jpg |
Built in 1937 by the entrepreneurial and charismatic Aw Boon Haw Haw Par Villa is the quintessential house of Chinese folklore. Described by various visitors as "fascinating, delightful, bizarre and entertaining", Haw Par Villa is like no other place in the world in the old days. Statues and figurines replicate Chinese mythology characters like the Laughing Buddha and the Fu Lu Shou (Taoist deities). A must-see exhibit is the Ten Courts of Hell, featuring the ten steps of judgement before reincarnation. Literal and leaving nothing to the imagination, the statues and sets immortalise moral values and Chinese cultural heritage for generations to come. Unfortunately, today there seems to be lack of interest as a tourist destination. Nothing has been done to upkeep the decaying of the attractions as seen here. |
