The Singapore cityscape looks like it was ripped from the pages of a science fiction comic book.

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.

A century later in 1928, Denis Santry, an architect of Swan and McLaren, employed the Islamic-Saracenic style that combines ideas from Indian and Islamic traditions, designing a Mosque that incorporated the use of minarets and balusters.

The very impressive Masjid Sultan is located near the centre of Kampong Glam and is a magnificent structure. Non-Muslims are made very welcome and although all visitors must be properly attired, robes are available at the mosque counter and are issued on first come first serve basis. There is a series of excellent information panels inside the mosque and very friendly "volunteers" are on hand to provide further information and discussion, if wanted, in a very pleasant environment. Outside the mosque there is a profusion of eateries - well worth a visit.

These 18 double-storey pre-war terrace houses are one of the most beautiful and well-preserved ones along Petain Road. It is breathtakingly lovely and striking. In 1979, the Petain Road terrace houses faced the threat of demolition but fortunately it was earmarked for preservation in 1981. Petain Road used to be a hotbed of gangsterism and vice up to the early sixties. It is now a quiet and peaceful road facing the serene Somme Playground. Architect E.V. Miller was engaged to design the Petain Road terrace houses for Mohamed bin Haji Omar who had a say on the design of these terrace houses. It was an interesting mix of European and Peranakan styles. Most outstanding is the use of colourful floral glazed ceramic tiles to cover the pilasters on second storey and all the spaces beside the doors and windows on the ground floor. Also noteworthy are the animal and floral motifs of the plaster ornamentation below the windows on second storeys and on the piers on ground floor. The 3D artworks are all different. The corinthian capitals on the party walls and secondary pilasters are very elaborate. Its five-foot way is very popular for photograhy. Some of these units are rented out by Figment. In 1928, the colonial government’s Municipal Committee decided to name eleven roads at Jalan Besar after First World War’s famous commanders and battles. Some of these roads are Kitchener Road, Verdun Road, Sturdee Road, Somme Road, Beatty Road, Marne Road and Flanders Square.
