A story of Chinese heritage
Following Singapore's founding, migrants looking to make their fortune in Singapore began
arriving in droves. Life was not easy back then for anyone on the street and home often
meant nothing more than a wooden board as a bed. Fresh water had to be carted in by bullock-drawn
carts, the practice of which contributed to Chinatown's other name - Niu Che Shui, known as
Bullock-Cart-Water.
Over the years, Chinatown has changed and evolved, but it is filled with traces of our
beloved enclave of culture and tradition, defined by the very people who live, work and
play on the streets of Chinatown.

Catch a glimpse of Singapore’s most majestic icon,
the Merlion, a mythical creature
that’s half-fish and half-lion. The Merlion combines two elements of Singapore’s
identity—its body symbolises the fishing villages of Singapore’s past, while its
lion head is a symbol of Singapura (“lion city” in Sanskrit). Today, you can glimpse
this legend at Merlion Park. Spouting water from its mouth, the Merlion statue stands
tall at 8.6 metres and weighs 70 tonnes.
This icon is a ‘must-see’ for tourists visiting Singapore, similar to other significant
landmarks around the world.
