The Merlion is an iconic landmark in Singapore, located on the Singapore River in the city center. It symbolizes the country's development from a small fishing village. The design of the Merlion is inspired by a legend in the Malay Annals. In the 11th century, a prince named Sang Nila Utama saw a lion while patrolling Singapura. The lion's head on the Merlion represents that lion, and the fish tail symbolizes the ancient city of Temasek (meaning "sea" in Javanese). Today, the area around Merlion Park has developed into Singapore's financial and commercial center with a skyline of high-rise buildings.

Before the British landed in Singapore in 1819, Chinese laborers had already begun planting betel nut and pepper. With the influx of more Chinese immigrants, Sir Stamford Raffles designated the area along the southwest bank of the Singapore River as the Chinatown. At the time, Singapore had no piped water, and so the only water source for the whole city was from wells at An Xiang Mountain and Serangoon Road, which were transported by ox-carts. Hence, the area became known as Chinatown.
Today, the Chinatown Heritage Centre is housed in a regular shophouse along Pagoda Street. It is a place that showcases the early life of Chinese immigrants. Since most of Singapore's Chinese immigrants came from three provinces - Fujian, Guangdong, and Hainan, the place is rich in southern Chinese culture. The museum is small with only three shops and reconstructed living quarters, but it is rich in content. It feels as though visitors have traveled back in time to the 19th century, experiencing the hardships that Chinese immigrants faced as they struggled to make a living.

This mosque was built in 1826 and is one of the earliest mosques in Chinatown. It is also one of the three earliest mosques built by Indian Muslims in southern India. Its architecture is very unique, with a front that looks like a finely complex palace with small doors and cross-shaped windows. The entrance is in the typical South Indian style, while the two prayer halls and temple exhibit a neoclassical style. Therefore, despite the mosque having a crescent moon symbol, its architectural style is very different from that of Chinese mosques.
