A pile of terrapins in Tiger Balm Gardens

We went to Haw Par Villa Gardens and under one of the bridges was a pile of terrapins. There is a bit of info below if you are interested.

Tiger Balm Gardens is the name of public gardens that are also known as Haw Par Villa gardens.
All three Tiger Balm Garden locations were built by the Aw family (Aw Boon Haw and Aw Boon Par). They were created to promote the Tiger Balm products produced by the family.
The original garden was located in Hong Kong but is now closed. The second is in Singapore (the one I was at) , and a third is in Fujian province of Mainland China.
The gardens contain statues and dioramas depicting scenes from Chinese folklore, legends, history and illustrations of various aspects of Confucianism. It was a fabulous place and the thing that amused me the most was the punishment of heart cut out and tied to a copper pillar and grilled for disrespect to elders.
