The take
Built in 1878 and still home to a working congregation, so visits are arranged ahead rather than dropped in on. If you only have a few minutes on Waterloo Street, Kwan Im Thong Hood Cho is on the next block and you can walk straight in.
Good to know
Dress modestly for your visit
Kwan Im Thong Hood Cho, on the next block, is open to walk-in visitors
Finding it: 24 Waterloo Street, within walking distance of both Bugis and Bras Basah MRT
