Buddha Tooth Relic Temple and Museum (新加坡佛牙寺龙华院), Chinatown

I came across a Buddhist temple when I was touring around Chinatown streets. It is better known as Buddha Tooth Relic Temple and Museum. Built on Tang Dynasty architectural style, this 5-storey temple houses the relic of Buddha which had been discovered in a collapsed stupa at Bagan Hill, Mrauk-U, Myanmar.
