The Kong Meng San Phor Kark See Monastery (also known as Bright Hill Monastery) is a working monastery and Buddhist university situated right in the heart of Singapore. The beautiful monastery is the largest of its kind in Singapore and offers an oasis of calm and tranquility in the center of the bustling city. A highlight of your tour will be visiting the Grand Buddha, located on the fourth floor of the main temple, and seeing the interesting architecture of the building. Since this is a religious site you need to dress appropriately – cover your shoulders and knees and remove your shoes. On weekends the monastery is packed with devotees, but if you visit during the week, you can stroll around at your own pace.
