▲ The historic Chinatown is Singapore's Chinese quarter, said to be named after the ox carts that transported water when there was no running water supply. Today, Chinatown is a hub for Singapore's Chinese community and one of the must-visit cultural attractions for visitors to Singapore.
▲ The Singapore River is one of the main rivers in Singapore, with a total length of approximately 3.2 kilometers.

Located along the Singapore River in a meticulously restored 19th-century building, it is the first museum in the region to present pan-Asian cultures and civilizations through a broad and comprehensive perspective. Fun fact: The museum building, known as Empress Place Building, served as government offices during the colonial era.
