The
Singapore River was the heart of the country's
development and remnants from our colonial past still
stand proudly on the river banks. Lovingly restored shop
houses stand side by side with stately historical
buildings such as the Supreme Court and The Art House "
the Old Parliament.
From here, you can board the authentic traditional
bumboat from the Raffles Landing Site jetty behind the
New Parliament House, Asian Civilisations Museum and the
Victoria Concert hall. These buildings bore witness to a
time when coolies an samsui women laboured along the
river banks.
Now, the past and the present mingle in true Singaporean
fashion. Trendy bars, clubs and eateries at Boat Quay,
Clarke Quay, Robertson Quay and Collyer Quay have set up
shop.
The River Boat Tour shows you all this before it segues
into the stunning Marina Bay, where contemporary
architectural wonders at the Marina Bay Sands and
Gardens by the Bay await. Come on a journey with us to
discover exciting chapters in Singapore's continuing
tale. |
