Thian Hock Keng — Entrance Hall

The story behind the place

Thian Hock Keng connects Singapore’s Chinese community with the maritime journeys of earlier migrants. Dedicated to Mazu, a deity associated with protection at sea, it remains a place of worship. Its southern Chinese architectural traditions appear in curved roof ridges, decorative creatures and carefully worked materials. The entrance hall offers a first encounter with those details before the courtyards and further halls beyond.
