 Telok Ayer Green, Singapore
Telok Ayer Green is a small park in Singapore's Chinatown. It is located between the Thian Hock Keng Temple and the Nagore Durgha Shrine. The park has flowing water and pond, with a few carefully placed rocks. The ground is paved and shady, and the sides are planted with daun kadok (Piper sarmentosum). There are life-style figures in period costume, made of metal, depicting the people and their dressing during Singapore's earlier days.
Telok Ayer Green provides some respite against the tropical sun and is a welcome retreat for visitors after a whole day of exploring the city.
