Lunch at a local restaurant is followed by a trip to the Bright Hill Temple, renowned for its Chinese crematorium and well stocked turtle pond. Your tour then continues to Johore Battery where you can view a replica of the 15-inch ‘Monster Gun’ the largest to be installed outside Britain during World War II. Unfortunately, it was only equipped with ammunition to counter armoured ships and was ineffective against land troops and field artillery. The tour concludes with a visit to the Changi Chapel & Museum. The museum focuses on the memories and lives of both POWs and civilians who survived Japanese occupation. The Changi Chapel is a symbolic replica of the original chapel found in the Changi Prison which held allied POWs, but does contain an authentic collection of paintings and sketches donated by former inmates.
