What's a 2m by 1.5m acrylic display that 'turn-on' my imagination, picking out details of the scene of the moments. I have always stressed that Photography is one small part of the bigger story-telling pictures presentation... How else can we do Street Photography when we can't do stationary subjects? It has always been the storyteller's capability and ability to translate stories to visuals.

Singapore's oldest temple was dedicated to Tua Pek Kong. it has now been converted into a museum. Besides that it has integrated into part of a boutique hotel. In the Museum, you will be able to browse over 200 artifacts donated by residents in Chinatown, which will give you a glimpse into the way of life of the early immigrants.

Lovely miniature display of how life was in the 1820s! Life was hard in those days though...note the coolies around the back taking a break from hauling people around on his rickshaw. Amazing to see this beautiful temple right downtown, and interesting how you can walk through the beautiful timber and stone structure...to get to the AMOY hotel and a Japanese restaurant!

Amazing miniature showing old days of the area. Love it! Reviews I have read before visiting did not give an impression on the temple’s size. In fact it is quite tiny.

Part of an hotel, anybody can walk in for free, The Fuk Tak Chi Museum, situated in the heart of Singapore's Chinatown, is a hidden gem that offers a glimpse into the history and cultural heritage of the early Chinese immigrants in Singapore. Housed in a beautifully restored building that was once a temple, Fuk Tak Chi translates to "An Institution to Cultivate Virtue." The museum presents a small yet instructive collection of artifacts, exhibits, and interactive displays that depict the lifestyles, traditions, and challenges faced by the Chinese community during Singapore's formative years. Visitors can explore through a 2 x 1,5 meter model, recreated scenes of old Chinatown, traditional costumes, and learn about the customs and rituals of the early Chinese settlers. Fuk Tak Chi Museum serves as a cultural bridge, connecting the past with the present and celebrating the enduring legacy of the Chinese community in Singapore. Time spent there : 15 minutes.

(Translated by Google) Ford was originally a temple dedicated to Tua Pek Kong, which is believed by Confucian and Taoist believers. Fudeng was funded by Guangdong and Hakka immigrants between 1820 and 1824. Many Chinese immigrants came here to worship Dabogong, thanking Shenming for helping them to arrive in Singapore safely. With the surge in donations from the believers, Ford was able to switch to masonry in 1825 and then undergone several rounds of renovation. The great renovation in 1869 was completed by Cheung Hong Lim, a Fujian-based community leader. Later, Ford became the home base of the Guangdong and Hakka communities, and even played the role of a welfare association, becoming a venue for dispute resolution. However, in the 1990s, the rich and colorful Fude Temple began to decline, and the temple was seriously in disrepair. Later, Ford was The government took over and the altar was moved to a temple in Geylang. The original site of Ford is from China and Malaysia. The craftsman repaired it and turned it into a museum in 1998. Today's Ford is surrounded by high-rise buildings. Fortunately, there is a model in the pavilion that depicts the scene around the early years of Ford, allowing visitors to understand the Tel Ayer Street at the time. (Original) 福德祠原是一座庙宇，主要供奉儒家和道家信众所信仰的大伯公 (Tua Pek Kong) 。福德祠由广东和客家移民在 1820 年和至 1824 年间出资建设，不少华人移民都来此膜拜大伯公，感谢神明护佑他们平安抵达新加坡。 随着信众捐赠款额剧增，福德祠得以在 1825 年改用砖石重建，之后还经过多轮翻修。 1869 年的那次大翻修，是福建人社区领袖章芳林 (Cheang Hong Lim) 出资完成，后来，福德祠成为广东和客家社群的大本营，甚至发挥了福利协会的作用，成为解决争端的场所。 但是到了 20 世纪 90 年代，拥有丰富多彩历史的福德祠开始走向没落，庙宇严重失修。后来，福德祠被 政府接管，里头的神坛被迁移至位于芽笼 (Geylang) 的一座神庙。福德祠原址则由来自中国和马来西亚 的能工巧匠进行修复，并于 1998 年变身为一座博物馆，今日的福德祠周围都是高楼大夏。幸好馆内摆设一座模型，描绘早年福德祠周围的景象，让访客了解当时的直落亚逸街

It’s soooo small. But absolutely adorable. Go there it’s free. What a contrast to the bustling city around.

If you pass by...

This is such a well preserved location and if you are in the CBD area, i would encourage you to walk over and see it. The external facade is well preserved and distinctive from the more modern adjacent buildings. The interiors have been well organized and maintained with some great natural lighting to accentuate the various fittings and pieces on display.

History captured in miniatures . Simply pretty. This museum was once a house and now turned into museum and a hotel. It the miniature tiny village captures a live moment back in the day in 18th century when Singapore was still vibrant place for earning money and doing businesses.

According to the plaque at the entrance, this temple is one of the oldest around since the 1820s. The temple, founded by the Hakka and Cantonese immigrants, served as a place of worship and a social meeting place for the two communities. The temple was closed in 1994 and has since been converted into a museum. Inside, you can find a diorama depicting a street scene outside the temple with the early immigrants going about their daily life. If you are wondering why there is a pier with boats docking along it, that is because this place used to be a coastal area. Much of Telok Ayer is built on reclaimed land. In fact, the name Telok Ayer actually means "Water Bay".

It's quite sad that there's no more introduction of the folk religions of this temple. But luckily the temple is still remained.

Museum like those rich heritage ones in Malacca

Tiny place that showcases miniatures of early Chinese immigrants in Singapore. Although small, I have to say that it is rather interesting.

Tiny museum commemorating Chinese immigrant life in Singapore. The diorama is amazing. Drop in if you're nearby, but not worth a special trip.

Not a big place. Connect to a hotel.

Fuk tak chi museum was formerly a temple. We were wowed by the figuring showcasing the lives of early years around this area. 😍 this is a heritage gem .

A history of Singapore is capture here. Was the shore line of earlier sea at the door step.... Beyond is reclaimed land. Explore...!

It's more like a entrance to a food court now... Like a passage

A quaint and small museum directly next to Amoy Hotel, of the early days of Chinese immigrants in Singapore. Not much to see, except that it offers a peek of how shophouses used to be back in the days.

Beautiful heritage building even from the outside.

ßmall but nice place. Historic and pretty displays in the heart of the city

Nice place.

(Translated by Google) Only the main entrance retains the style of the ancestral hall, and then it is already the restaurant bar area. (Original) 只有正門保留了祠堂風格，再後面已經是食肆酒吧區。
