Haw Par Villa MRT station

Haw Par Villa station in detail
Haw Par Villa is named for the theme park that put this stretch of the Circle Line on the map: a free outdoor museum of Chinese mythology and folklore built by the Tiger Balm founders in the 1930s, famous — and occasionally notorious — for its vivid statues depicting the Ten Courts of Hell. The station opened in 2011 a short walk from the park's main entrance. Beyond the park itself the surroundings are mostly expressway and low-rise housing, so most visitors come specifically for Haw Par Villa rather than passing through on the way to somewhere else.
