What to do and see in Singapore, Singapore: The Best Bridges
The Singapore cityscape looks like it was ripped from the pages of a science fiction comic book. If you’re hungry for a true Singapore experience, sample the myriad street foods or take a cultural cooking class. The Botanic Gardens and the Gardens By the Bay offer a slice of horticultural heaven, and the observation deck of the Sands SkyPark makes you feel like you’re high above the clouds. The banks and walkways along the Singapore River bustle with local activity.

This bridge was completed in 1869 and is the oldest bridge across Singapore River to survive in its original form. It was one of the first suspension bridge in this region. This bridge was so low that vessels had to wait for low tide to pass under it. It used to support a tram line until 1910. When the nearby Anderson Bridge was completed, Cavenagh Bridge was converted into a footbridge. it underwent a restoration in 1987 after Singapore River was cleaned up. The old police notice still stands on each end of the bridge.

This bridge spans over 250 metres across the Singapore River and is one of many around this area and the nearby Boat Quay. The great thing about this bridge is that it provides great views of the waterfront, Merlion Park and the Marina Bay. The other great thing is that there is a pedestrian and cyclist bridge that runs alongside it called the Jubilee bridge. Much narrower than the Esplanade Bridge, the views are just as good.

This is a very interesting and fairly long, one way road to walk from Crawford Street all the way to Elgin Bridge.It passes through the Kampong Glam area, Parkview Square, the iconic Raffles Hotel, Raffles City Shopping Centre, Chijmes, St Andrew's Cathedral, the Supreme Court, Parliament House and ending at Elgin Bridge. In the Kampong Glam area just after Jalan Sultan, there is a row of Early style shophouses painted in candy colours resembling the houses in Burano. At 796 is the well stocked shop specialising in fashion accessories, ribbons, art and craft materials etc. On the opposite side are five lanes with names like Jln Kapla (coconut), Jln Kubor (cemetery-due to a nearby Muslim cemetery at Victoria Street), Jln Kledek (sweet potato), Jln Pisang( banana) and Jln Pinang (areca nut). There are a number of murals to see on the walls of these shophouses facing Victoria Street. At Jln Pinang outside Hotel Nuve are two Yip Yew Chong's Murals-the Satay Man and Kampong Gelam. The Kampong Gelam mural depicts the store packing for pilgrims embarking on a Haj. The batik represents the immigrants from Malay Archipelago while the carpet represents immigrants from Middle East. There are also famous eateries here by the Malabar Muslims offering Murtabak and Nasi Briyani. Tourists can learn much about local culture here by walking along North Bridge Road.

This is an amazing pedestrian bridge that elegantly curves and provides you with the best views of Marina Bay whether the Merlion, Sands, downtown skyline or the waterfront. Singapore has so many pedestrian bridges but this may be my favorite. The views are simply incredible and the pictures won't do it justice.
