Best walking place
Must see
Beautiful sculpture along the Singapore river walk. It's a nice depiction of the multi ethnic and cultural society of Singapore. Would be nice to have some written up description board to explain the place though. Good location for taking good memory photos of Singapore.
Neat to see these statues and learn a bit of Singapore's history.
The man sitting in the middle was a Scottish businessman Alexander Laurie Johnston who was based around here in early 19th century. He is apparently discussing business with the local Malay chief and Chinese trader.
Singapore being always the busy trading port, this was a common method to bring goods inland via river till the bull carts were replaced with modern lorries.

I saw this in early March before the lockdown. It's one of many sculptures in Boat Quay and depicts a scene during a typical day in the port with merchants conducting business and labourers shifting goods on a bullock cart. The great thing about this sculpture is the way the artists has created such a lively scene of the merchants engaged in discussions contrasting with adjacent the work of the labourers. Worth seeing if in the area.
Very cool sculptures. Really nice to relax along the river here.
