Haw Par Villa
Located along Pasir Panjang Road, Haw Par Villa was previously
known as Tiger Balm Gardens and subsequently renamed after its
original owners. The Aw brothers, Boon Haw and Boon Par (who made
their fortune from the well-known Tiger Balm ointment) opened the
park in 1937. It is inspired by Chinese legend and mythology as
represented by the display of grotesque and gaudy statues, the coup
de grâce of which are depicted in The Ten Courts of Hell.
