The Trail ends at this unique Chinese shrine. Set under an old tree, the shrine is located at one end of the pedestrian mall. Legend has it that in the early 1960s, when the land had to be cleared to make way for the New Town, an enginner who attempted to remove the tree was crushed to death under his very own vehicle! This tree was hence believed to be spiritual. After praying to this tree spirit for several years, the residents established a little shrine under the tree in 1969, with their offerings.

Today, the shrine is well protected by the roots of the formidable old tree.
