Singapore River
The Singapore River is a
canal in Singapore with great historical importance. (Despite its name,
Singapore River is not a river because it lacks the three courses of a river)
It flows from the Central Area, which lies in the Central Region in the
southern part of Singapore before emptying into the ocean. The immediate
upper watershed of the Singapore River is known as the Singapore River
Planning Area, although the northernmost part of the watershed becomes River
Valley. As the Central Area is treated as a central business district, nearly
all land surrounding it is commercial. It is one of about 90 rivers in
Singapore and its islands. It is the place where Raffles made the 1st trading
port in Singapore. The Singapore River is the most famous river in Singapore.
