Singapore Buddha Tooth Temple
In the heart of Chinatown in Singapore the Buddha Tooth Temple is not only amazing to photograph but actually really great to go inside as well. Think this spot is a perfect mix between old and new modern cultures.
Photography Tips
For the perfect temple shot, head to the apartment at the corner of Banda and Sago Street. The ideal vantage point is between the 9th and 12th floors—higher floors reveal too much rooftop. Space is limited, so bring a clamp to secure your gear to the railing. The best time to shoot is during golden and blue hour, then blend the exposures in post for optimal results.
Travel Information
Take the MRT to Chinatown Station or arrive by Grab/Taxi. Near the coffee shop on the corner, you'll find an emergency staircase that’s accessible for climbing. The best shots are taken from the 10th floor of the building—just a short walk from the station.
