Further upstream, Clarke Quay is a paradise for shopping, dining and entertainment.
Parliament House - built in 1827 as a colonial mansion, it is Singapore's oldest government building, and now home to Singapore's parliament.
Raffles' Landing Site - the statue of Sir Stamford Raffles stands on the site where Singapore's founder is believed to have stepped ashore.
