Noah Vacation: Haw Par Villa (March 2 2014)
Haw Par Villa is a funky theme park which was built in 1937 by the Burmese-Chinese Aw brothers, the developers of Tiger Balm, as a venue for teaching children traditional Chinese values. The best known attraction in Haw Par Villa is the Ten Courts of Hell, which features gruesome depictions of Hell in Chinese mythology and Buddhism (we did not take any pics in there). The place is a definitely a throw-back to earlier years. It was slated to be destroyed but it seems it will instead be renovated as it is a staple of old Singapore.
