Singapore's riverfront has undergone a swanky new facelift

Singapore’s Colonial District has undergone a major facelift.

Centre of the precinct is the vast Padang, a cricket field surrounded by Empress Place Building, the original Parliament Buildings and the Singapore Cricket Club.

The giant Historical Museum has recently undergone a complete refurbishment.

It’s just a short walk from the Colonial District to THE grand new playground of Singapore: Clarke Quay. This redevelopment along the banks of the Singapore River commemorates Singapore’s second governor, Sir Andrew Clarke.

Following the rehabilitation of the river, the old warehouses have now been converted into quayside restaurants and clubs, with a string of cafés and pubs right on the riverbank. Come sunset, there could be no better place to relax and unwind.
