Singapore's Singapore City
Singapore River
As in centuries ago, the Singapore River remains the heart of Singaporean life. Although today, as the former opium dens and coolie shops have given way to eclectic cuisine and a captivating nightlife scene, the energetic draw of the Singapore River is better than ever.
Explore Boat Quay, where the aromas of the exquisite flavors found within the eclectic array of restaurants are matched only by the sights and sounds radiating from the pulsing clubs and bars that line the Quay. Or, venture to the largest of Singapore’s waterfront treasures, Clarke Quay, an area once boasting a pineapple cannery, iron foundry, and a number of warehouses, now rings with spectacular shopping and dining within the 60 restored buildings. Visit Clarke Quay’s Satay Club for the decadent Malay meat kabobs dipped in peanut chili sauce, or wander through the bustling Sunday Flea Market, where a flavor of an entirely different sort reigns supreme.
