Walking along the Singapore River takes you through shopping areas, restaurants right on the riverfront, gives you an impression of apartment blocks in Singapore while you can see many different bridges along the way.
The area surrounding Singapore River has been developed, especially around Boat Quay and Clarke Quay: you can now find an extensive array of restaurants, shopping malls, but also pick a boat tour on the river if you prefer not to walk. It has become an area for leisure, for passing time - in fact, you can see many people exercise, take a stroll, or just sit on a bench and chat with friends, either live or through a cell phone. I was surprised to find so many pedestrian bridges across the river. Some of them, like the very colourful Alkaff bridge in the shape of a traditional boat, are true pieces of art, while others, like Cavenagh Bridge, are historical points of interest. The river walk ends at where the river empties into Marina Bay - the port of Singapore has been relocated making this a more tranquil place than it once was.
