And you must remember to visit the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple – a unique architecture located in the Chinatown area.

Clark Quay is packed with outdoor hotels, creating an ideal nightlife space for anyone looking to snap a few shots with the sparkling, water-reflecting lights.

You can walk from Clark Quay down to the familiar Merlion monument, from where you can have a panoramic view of Marina Bay Sands. It will take you about 20 minutes to walk along the river, however, if you have time, you can spend 2 hours walking and taking pictures without getting bored.

However, this museum is a standard model for the architecture that combines tradition and modernity, possessing ancient and dignified features but hiding youthfulness and dynamism.

The National Gallery of Singapore has pioneered a new concept of a museum that is accessible and accessible to everyone, breaking away from the traditional way of thinking of a boring, exhibition-only museum. Artifacts and descriptions are not very interesting.
