Cruising down the Singapore River in an authentic bumboat is the best way to catch a glimpse of Singapore's history.  See the pivotal role the river played in Singapore's economic progress as you pass godowns and shophouses, which now stand as silent reminders of the past.  Today, the Singapore River is still buzzing with life and activity.  The waterfront godowns now play host to a colourful kaleidoscope of restaurants, wine bars, entertainment spots and retail shops.  The bustling market atmosphere of bygone days comes alive amidst the rows of charming shophouses, pushcarts and five-foot-way merchants.
