The Singapore
River was the lifeline of Singapore where our first immigrants
eked out a meager living and saw Singapore transform from an
obscure little fishing village to a great seaport.
And into a modern
metropolis famous for its skyscrapers, the Merlion and
"gastro-mania".
Highlights on the banks of the Singapore River include Boat Quay
and Clarke Quay, Landmarks and memorials such as Merlion Park and
Parliament House, Museums such as the Asian Civilizations Museum
as well as temples and mosques such as the Tan Si Chong Su Temple
and Omar kampong Melaka Mosque. |
