Seu Teck Sean Tong Yiang Sin Sia 修德善堂

Located at 335 Bedok North Avenue 3, which is just opposite Red Swastika school, the temple mainly worships Reverend Song Ta-Fung who left behind a noble chapter of his legendary works and teachings in Teochew history.

The main structure of the monastery is the two halls (left hall, which is the main Prayer Hall, and right hall, which is commonly known as the Ancestral Hall) linked to 'Zuo Zhuah' Tower (a four storey tower).
In between the two halls is the al frésca garden with a grand arc spelt "Shan Ren" - Benevolence and Endurance at its entrance. Within the garden, look out for Chinese Bonsai of rare breeds and the trimmed Bonsai of Chinese characters of "Seu Teck Sean Tong Yiang Sin Sia".
