Tiger Balm Gardens: A Chinese Billionaire's Fantasy Environm

This is an incredible book..For someone who loves mythology and Chinese culture or just fascinated by the art, the whole entire information on Haw Par Villa Singapore, the history ..all can be found in this book..In fact, it is the only book available on the 67 year old mythology theme park in Singapore.I searched and chanced upon this book when i was interested in knowing more about Haw Par Villa, before it may just be torn down in the next decade, and the book certainly left a deep sense of love for this almost forgotten place..Defintely a great book..
