Rooftop Garden, Toothrelic Temple, Chinatown

The Rooftop Garden at Buddha Tooth Relic Temple is a tranquil hidden oasis located on the 4th floor of the magnificent Tang-styled Chinese Buddhist temple in Chinatown. This peaceful sanctuary features the world's largest prayer wheel - the Vairocana Buddha Prayer Wheel - standing approximately 2 stories high within the central Ten Thousand Buddhas Pagoda. The beautifully landscaped garden showcases abundant orchids including the exquisite Dendrobium Buddha Tooth orchid, trees, and shrubs arranged in flowerbeds named after various Buddhist followers. Four graceful pavilions house the Buddhas of the Cardinal points, with sheltered benches along the garden walls for contemplation. Accessible via elevator or marked staircase with wheelchair lift from the fourth floor, this serene rooftop retreat offers visitors a spiritual respite from Chinatown's bustling atmosphere, providing an elevated experience of natural beauty and Buddhist tranquility in the heart of Singapore's heritage district.
