Tiger Balm Gardens, Singapore

'Kindness begets kindness, evil begets evil.' This and other lessons are retold in this sprawling park that educates visitors about Chinese legends, folklore and Confucian ideology in an entertaining setting. Graphically portraying 5,000 years of Chinese mythology are more than a thousand statues and 150 giant tableaux. Theater and film shows retell classic Chinese tales, while pageants and puppets relate Chinese history, legends and heroes. Several rides are available; do not miss the one through the dragon's belly where you can catch a glimpse of the harrowing scenes in the Ten Courts of Hell.
