Boat Quay and Downtown district

Here a few more pictures of the Boat Quay area in Singapore. The first few are of the Civic district on the East side of the river. The Statue is of Sir Stamford Raffles, the founder of the modern day city state of Singapore.

The rest of the photos are along Boat Quay in the restaurants/stores:

Boat Quay Dragon Boat races

Boat Quay was one of the busiest Docks in Singapore in the 1860s and handled most of the trade for the Port of Singapore. Today it really isn't a port, but the House shops still line the sides of the river opening around this historic district. It's really a nice area to just sit on a patio restaurant on the river. When I walked along here during the daytime there were Dragon Boat races going on. Here are a few photos.

More Sing night pictures...

Here are a few more pictures from Singapore.

The first one is looking across the bridge on Connaught drive. In the distance you can see the Esplanade Mall, and to the right is the ferris wheel called the 'Singapore Flyer'.

The next photo is of the backside of the Fullerton Hotel.

Here is a foot passenger bridge going back to the Fullerton and to Maybank tower.

And finally another bridge across Boat Quay... I'll show some daytime photos of Boat Quay later.
