I can only find the sculptures of punishment and they are not quite vivid… Ten courts of Hell is a little bit scary, but not very interesting.

I have heard of the sad news of it's deterioration. I would have to try and visit again before they close it down altogeher. I think it is what make Singapore Singapore, not the pretentious modern country it's trying to be but it's beautiful Oriental heritage that they try so much to shun. From neglecting the intricacies in Chinese culture to it's beautiful history with Malaya. I now live in London and sadly miss the beautiful Singapore than I once knew before.

The entire park had speakers every 10 meters or so piping out the exact same CD of Chinese Classical music on loop, 24 hours a day. It nearly drove me insane. To this day I can't hear an Erhu without shivering a little bit (Shifts were 8am to 6pm). I worked there in one of the retail outlets one summer in 1991.

Chinese theme parks are so often created in this style. I've been to a few outside Shanghai that just had me shaking my head in wonderment. Bizarre, creepy, and just a little bit off.
