Boat Quay

Boat Quay, curving like a narrow ribbon along the southern bank of the Singapore River, is a place where time has split history in half. At its foot, huddled together as if frightened by the giant skyscrapers, are two-story houses of the "Chinese Renaissance" style, while above them soar the glass peaks of the city`s financial center. This embankment is a living monument in which two different centuries and two completely different faces of the same city are frozen.
