What are the historical sites in Singapore?

It is not difficult to find many unique historical sites in the bustling urban area of Singapore, which shows that it was once a British colony.

The estuary of Singapore is where Sir Raffles landed in Singapore, which became the center of British colonial period. Here, there are many historical buildings, such as the Art House of the old parliament building, the Victoria Theatre, the Singapore Cricket Club, the Supreme Court and the government building. These buildings are built on the grass around the government building, a vast grassland full of green. The buildings of the Frieden Hotel and Raffles Hotel near the estuary are also full of colonial colors.

Although World War II was short, the history and memory of Japan's occupation of Singapore were clearly recorded on many monuments.
