Info
Siong Lim Temple, also known as Lian Shan Shuang Lin Monastery (Chinese: 莲山双林寺), is a Buddhist monastery located in Toa Payoh, Singapore. The temple was founded in 1898, but the construction of the premises only began in 1902 by Low Kim Pong and was completed in 1907. The monastery was gazetted as a national monument in 1980 and subsequently underwent a decade-long restoration that began in 1991. The temple now boasts a seven storey gold-topped pagoda which is a replica of the 800-year-old Shanfeng temple pagoda in Fujian.
