If you heading off to Clark Quay you might as well stop at Boat Quay as there to is whole lot of pubs and restaurants there to. You can also catch a boat ride here. I guess its a place whereby people come together to eat and drink and just enjoy the outdoors by the river. Around Bout Quay you have these beautiful tall buildings , the Parliment house and the Asian Civilisation Meseum. Leave a Comment

One of the 3 famous Quays along the Singapore River, Boat Quay holds its own against the others.
Reconized by the Chinese as an area of prosperity and wealth due to the fact that the shape of the river at it's location was similiar to that of a belly of a carp (In Chinese belief symbolizes prosperity and wealth) The area was soon built up, and by the 1860s, accounted for 75% of Singapore's shipping business.
Times change and after the opening of the shipping port Pasir Panjang, the Boat Quay took on a whole new life. Now it accounts for one of the busiest spots for a night out on the town. The old shophouses have since been converted into waterfront restaurants, pubs and clubs.
*Interesting fact: Looking at the row of shophouses along the south bank of the river. You will notice that they all stand at different hieghts. The wealthier a business was, the higher the owner built his or her shop. Leave a Comment Directions: Directly off Boat Quay road, on the South Bank of the SIngapore River. Downtown.

 Boat Quay by diageva
Beautifull place but I didn't liked what I aet much. Better ... much better go to the perpendicular street where you will can eat stay ... stay wonderful stay.
In 1800s, this used to be a busy trading area where coolies slogged and merchants bartered. Leave a Comment Directions: Next to Raffles Place MRT Station From Raffles in Trishaw 10S$

 View from the Swissôtel
Stamford by phil_uk_net
A good time to go is around 6:30 in the evening so that you can see Singapore in daylight at first and then watch it light up as the sun sets. The view is quite spectacular.
The picture below is of Boat Quay. Sorry about the poor quality but I wasn't geared up to take proper photographs from up there. If you go, take a polarising filter to cut down the reflections when shooting through glass. Also take a tripod for long exposure shots after the sun sets.
