For such a small citystate, Singapore has a remarkable amount of different people within its borders. It has four official languages (English, Tamil, Mandarin and Malay). You can find mosques, churches, Hindu shrines and Chinese temples. And sometimes, one is just around the corner of the other.
In the vicinity of Chinatown you can find a Hindu temple which is a remarkable structure with typical scenes, with Hindu gods and animals, all depicted in bright colours. Almost inevitably, the area behind the shrine has been turned into a tourist area with shops and restaurants. Just a few minutes away, you can find traditional Chinese medicines (often dried parts of animals, or entire remains of animals).
Close to the most famous Hindu temple is Thian Hok Keng temple, a Hokkien (Chinese) temple which was brought stone by stone from China in 1840. Now, it is a reminder of the primarily Chinese character of the city. A neighbour of this temple is a mosque with Srilankan influences - a whitewashed wall and green roofs. A beauty on its own. Walking a few minutes from this area brings you to the business district of the city with all the hustle and bustle.
