Short History of Singapore Long San Si:
The temple dates back from 1917, and its name translates as Dragon Mountain Temple (1815). It is dedicated to Kuan Yin, the ever popular Goddess of Mercy to whom childless couples pray to for blessings, is richly carved and ornately decorated with timber beams carved with chimera, dragons, flowers and human figures. Note especially the dragon sculptures on top of its roofs. At the back is a specious courtyard and numerous ancestral tablets, some dating to the 1880s.
