The Merlion is a symbol of Singapore that has developed from a small fishing village. It is also a iconic tourist attraction in Singapore. The design inspiration of the Merlion comes from a legend in the Malay Annals: In the 11th century, Prince Sang Nila Utama visited Singapura and saw a lion. The lion head of the Merlion represents that lion, while the fish tail symbolizes the ancient city of Temasek (which means "sea" in Javanese). Today, the area around Merlion Park is filled with skyscrapers and is known as Singapore's financial and business district.

Before the British landed in Singapore in 1819, Chinese laborers from the south were already engaged in the cultivation of betel nut and pepper here. Over time, more and more Chinese immigrants from the south of China came to Singapore, and specifically settled in the area along the boat quays in the southwest of the Singapore River. At that time, Singapore did not have its own water supply system, so water had to be transported by ox carts from wells in Telok Ayer and Serangoon Road. As a result, this area, where water was supplied by ox carts, became known as Chinatown.
The original Chinatown Heritage Centre is located in an ordinary house on Pagoda Street and can easily be overlooked. As many Chinese people in Singapore come from the provinces of Fujian, Guangdong, and Hainan, there is a strong Southern Chinese atmosphere here. The museum showcases the early life of Chinese immigrants, allowing visitors to experience life in the 19th century and gain an understanding of the hardships faced by Chinese immigrants in their daily struggles.

Little India is a gathering place for the Indian community in Singapore, resembling a microcosm of India. During Deepavali, the Hindu Festival of Lights, Little India is decorated like a magnificent mythical world.
In 1819, when Sir Stamford Raffles sailed to Singapore, he was accompanied by several Indian assistants and soldiers, making them the earliest Indian immigrants. More Indian immigrants came to Singapore afterwards, and the Indian community's settlement area continued to expand, leading to its current size.
One of the main roads here, Serangoon Road, is one of the oldest roads in Singapore. At that time, this area was still a large forest, often inhabited by wild animals and poisonous snakes, so the people living here would strike copper gongs to drive them away. In Malay, this is called "di-serang dengan gong," which eventually evolved into "Serangoon" today.
In Little India, you can see many old shops and stalls scattered along the roadside, alleyways, and back streets. Fortune tellers and parrots are waiting for interested visitors, while flower sellers weave beautiful jasmine garlands. Hawkers selling kachang puteh (roasted nuts) push their carts, and newspaper stands on the street display various newspapers of all kinds. The Sri Veeramakaliamman Temple is also one of the must-see attractions in Little India, dedicated to the goddess Kali.
Little India is particularly lively on Saturday and Sunday evenings because Indian workers in Singapore like to come here for meals, shopping, or gatherings with friends. It is quieter during weekdays from Monday to Friday.
Here, you will find Mustafa Centre, Singapore's most affordable shopping center, selling home furnishings, decorations, food ingredients, Indian spices, clothing fabrics, electronic products, and more. They also have Indian ethnic silverware, copperware, jewelry, jasmine garlands, Indian curry powder, and silk sarees. The Banana Leaf Apolo and Muthu's Curry Restaurant are highly recommended for their hand-pressed rice dishes, and Komalas is well-known for its vegetarian snacks.
When visiting Little India, be sure to experience Henna tattooing. You can find a small shop and have an artist use Henna paste, made from the Henna tree, to create beautiful Indian designs on your skin, which can last for a week.
The main streets of Little India are Serangoon Road and its alleys such as Campbell Lane, Dunlop Street, and Hindoo Road. There have been riots in the past, but the unrest in India is a long-standing social issue. Currently, it is safe. It is recommended to visit Little India as it is a place with unique ethnic characteristics, with exotic architecture, food, and shops.
