Curated by Condé Nast Traveler with Oceania Cruises | Featured Editor’s Tip: Visit an offbeat cultural park in Singapore. It’s off the usual tourist trail, but retro Haw Par Villa is worth a cab ride for its eye-opening take on Chinese culture and folklore. Part museum, part theme park, the sprawling 21-acre space is filled with more than 1,000 bizarre statues and dioramas that teach Confucius values through Chinese mythology. Opened in 1937 by Aw Boon Haw, a philanthropist better known as the founder of the herbal ointment Tiger Balm, the park has seen a revival in recent years due to a change in management and new offerings such as overnight camping. Don’t miss its centerpiece: The Hell’s Museum with its ‘10 Courts of Hell,’ a macabre exhibition that delivers a graphic look at sin and punishment.
