Sight Address : 1 Empress Place, Singapore 179555, Singapore (Downtown Core).Edit

Detail InformationEdit

The Empress Place Building (Chinese: 皇后坊大厦) is a historic building in Singapore, located on the north bank of the Singapore River in the Downtown Core, within the Central Area in Singapore’s central business district. The building is currently the second wing of the Asian Civilisations Museum. The other wing of the museum is located at the Old Tao Nan School building along Armenian Street.Located at the mouth of the Singapore River, the Empress Place Building’s imposing Neo-Palladian exterior with timber-louvred windows and pitched clay tile roofs caught the attention of immigrants and visitors sailing into Singapore harbour. A 1905 Singapore guidebook describes Government Offices and its neighbouring buildings thus: “Apart from the cities of India, there is, perhaps, no place in the East which boasts such a handsome group of [government] buildings as viewed from the sea.”Inside, the rooms are stately, with high ceilings, handsome Doric columns and exquisite plaster mouldings and cornices. Elegantly proportioned, the building is laid out symmetrically along a central axis.

Empress Place Building

HistoryEdit

During the colonial era, the Empress Place Building was known simply as Government Offices. The first civic buildings were planned here in Sir Stamford Raffles’ day. Originally intended to be a courthouse, the Empress Place Building instead became offices for the government departments located in the adjacent Maxwell’s House (later the old Parliament House).Maxwell’s House, designed by George Drumgoole Coleman, was a two-storey house built for a merchant, John Argyle Maxwell, in 1827. However, it was never occupied by him and it became a courthouse and lands office. Subsequently, it was converted to Government Offices and additions were made in 1839 and 1847.
Constructed in four phases from 1864 to 1920, Government Offices was built to provide much needed space for the growing colonial administration. The original section of the building was designed by colonial engineer J.F.A. McNair and built by convict labour between June 1864 and December 1867. This original section now forms the part of the building nearest to the old Parliament House.Yet another courthouse was built in 1865; this is now the core of the Government Offices. In 1873-1875, the old courthouse was extended towards the river and this is where the Supreme Court of the Colony held its sessions from 1875 until 1939 when the first Supreme Court was built. Maxwell’s original house became the Assembly House in 1954 after extensive renovations and reconstruction. The decision to build a new Town Hall was made in 1854; the building was completed in 1862.Government Offices that were housed included the Secretariat, Audit Office, Registration of Deeds Office, Land Office, Public Works and Medical Department, Treasury and Stamp Office, and the bureaus of the Colonial Engineer, the Official Assignee, and the Inspector General of the Police Force. The Legislative Chamber occupied a room on the upper floor.In front of the building was a public square which was given the name Empress Place by the Municipal Council in 1907 in honour of Queen Victoria. It may well be the oldest pedestrian space in Singapore. Over time, Government Offices became associated with Empress Place and its name changed to what we know it today.As the demand for more government office space increased, three major extensions were added in 1880, 1904-1909 and 1920. Fortunately, every one of these extensions were faithful to McNair’s Neo-Palladian design and the building maintained a harmonious overall look.In the surrounding area also known as Empress Place, the Memorial Hall and Tower were added in 1905 and extensive renovations were carried out from 1954 till 1979. Raffles’ statue, now in front of the Victoria Memorial Hall and Theatre, as it is now called, was first erected on the Padang in 1887 but later removed to its present site in 1919. A second statue, a copy of the first one, was erected at Raffles Landing Place in 1972. The Dalhousie Memorial was originally located at Dalhousie Pier but found its present place in 1886. Cavenagh Bridge was built in 1869 and was converted to pedestrian traffic after the erection of Anderson Bridge. These are the major elements which have contributed to the developing qualities of Empress Place.

Detail InformationEdit

Emerald Hill (Chinese: 翡翠山) is a neighbourhood and a conservation area located in the planning areas of Newton and Orchard in Singapore. Former home to many members of the city-state’s wealthy Peranakan community, it is located near Orchard Road. Many of its homes feature Chinese Baroque architecture. Emerald Hill is also the setting for some of the short stories by the late Singaporean author Goh Sin Tub. Many of the homes were designed by Mr R T Rajoo (Rethinam Thamby Rajoo Pillay) a prominent architect of those days who died in 1928 at his home in Tank Road, Singapore.Feel like going out-out, but not having to get crushed with the masses? Head to Emerald Hill, where a lane of bars awaits your drinking pleasure. One of them is No. 5, a European-style pub situated in a restored 1910 Peranakan shophouse. You should go early if you want a table for more than four – it’s brimming over with both expats and locals (and the women who love them) longing for a pint after a hard day’s work. The pub serves up a respectable range of classic cocktails, shooters and draft beers. Do ask the waiter what specials they have, as bucket deals (two bottles of Carlsberg or San Miguel for $12) are not unusual. The bar also serves unshelled peanuts to accompany your drinks; don’t shy away from littering the ground with the empty shells – everyone is doing it, and interestingly it adds to the uniquely rustic and unassuming flavour of the place. Whether seated indoors or outdoors, the scene is lively and energetic. And if sitting and sipping isn’t quite entertaining enough for you, there is a busy pool table upstairs where you can rack up, and shoot a ball or two to impress the ladies.

Emerald Hill Road

HistoryEdit

The Emerald Hill area was originally owned by William Cuppage, a postal clerk who rose to become the acting Postmaster General in the 1840s. Cuppage first leased Emerald Hill in 1837 and in 1845 secured a permanent grant for his nutmeg plantation, which failed in the 1860s because of disease.Cuppage himself moved from his residence in Hill Street to Emerald Hill in the early 1850s and lived in the area till his death in 1872. Here he built two houses (Erin Lodge and Fern Cottage) where he lived. After his death, Cuppage’s plantation was left to his daughters and in 1890 it was sold to one of his sons-in-law, the lawyer Edwin Koek.Koek turned the area into an orchard and built another house on the estate, called Claregrove. Koek’s orchard venture failed, however, and he went bankrupt. The property was then sold to Thomas E. Rowell in 1891.By the turn of the twentieth century, the 13.2 hectare land and its three houses (Erin, Fern and Claregrove) were the property of Seah Boon Kang and Seah Boon Kiat. In 1901, they subdivided the property into 38 plots and these were further subdivided, forming the land area of the terrace houses in Emerald Hill Road.All three houses were subsequently demolished: Fern Cottage in 1906 made way for terrace houses; in 1924 Claregrove gave way to the Singapore Chinese Girls’ School; Erin Lodge was replaced with more terrace houses.

Sight Address : 1 Empress Place, Singapore 179555, Singapore.Edit

Detail InformationEdit

The Dalhousie Obelisk (Chinese: 达豪施纪念碑) is a memorial obelisk in the Civic District of Singapore, located on the north bank of the Singapore River in the Downtown Core, within the Central Area in Singapore’s central business district.The obelisk is situated at Empress Place, near the Asian Civilisations Museum and the Victoria Theatre and Concert Hall, and the Anderson Bridge near the mouth of the Singapore River.The Dalhousie Obelisk is situated in the Civic District of Singapore and was built to commemorate the second visit of Marquis of Dalhousie in February 1850. The Governor-General of India from 1848 to 1856, the Marquis of Dalhousie was accompanied by his wife, with the objective to consider ways to cut down on administrative expenditure. The memorial obelisk built also served as a reminder to all merchants of the benefits of free trade.An important architectural element designed by John Turnbull Thomson when he was a Government Surveyor, it is believed that the design was modelled after “Cleopatra’s Needle” on the Thames Embankment in London, which might explain the British influences in its tall, needle-like architectural structure. And with four decorative pinnacle lamps around all corners, it’s also a great spot for photo opportunities.First sited at the Dalhousie Pier at the mouth of the Singapore River where the Merlion Park used to be, it was relocated to Empress Place near the Asian Civilisation Museum to make way for the construction of Connaught Drive in 1890.

Dalhousie Obelisk

HistoryEdit

The Dalhousie Obelisk was built to commemorate the second visit to Singapore, in February 1850, of the Marquis of Dalhousie, who was the Governor-General of India from 1848 to 1856. He was accompanied by his wife, the Marchioness, and the objective of the visit was to consider the reduction of administrative expenditure.However, prominent merchants and traders, who felt that Singapore’s infrastructure was not keeping pace with its economic development, wanted Dalhousie to exert his influence in their favour. To win over Dalhousie, they renamed the pier by which he came ashore Dalhousie Ghaut and marked it with a commemorative obelisk. The memorial was also built to remind succeeding merchants of the benefits of free trade.The Dalhousie Obelisk was first sited at Dalhousie Ghaut (also known as Dalhousie Pier). In 1886, land reclamation for the building of Connaught Drive included the part of the Singapore River where the obelisk stood. To save the obelisk for posterity, it was removed to another site on the same line but nearer the sea wall, where the Cenotaph is now. In 1891, it was moved again, this time on the instruction of Governor Sir Cecil Clementi Smith, to its present site in front of the Victoria Theatre and Concert Hall, after the Anderson Bridge was built in 1909.

Sight Address : 8 Sentosa Gateway, Singapore 098269, Singapore.Edit

Detail InformationEdit

The Themed Entertainment Association (TEA) presented its annual Award of Outstanding Achievement today to Resorts World Sentosa, the $4.9 billion Integrated Resort in Singapore, for their Crane Dance Attraction. The award was announced by Gene Jeffers, Executive Director, at the International Association of Amusement Parks and Attraction Expo. For the themed entertainment industry,the TEA award is analogous to the Academy Award for “Best Picture”.In 2007, Chairman of The Genting Group, which owns Resorts World Sentosa, Tan Sri Lim Kok Thay, commissioned four-time Emmy Award-winning designer, Jeremy Railton and his creative team at the Entertainment Design Corporation (EDC), to create a dynamic work of public art that would embody the spirit of the region’s most exciting resort destination. Railton envisioned giant cranes as the perfect icon for the Resorts World Sentosa brand and worked closely with Chairman Lim and Resorts World Sentosa’s Chief Operating Officer, Tan Hee Teck, throughout the initial development phase.Weighing in at 160 tons, the Cranes stand 90-feet tall, making them the largest animatronic creatures in the world. Located on a man-made island in the harbor between Resorts World Sentosa and the Singapore mainland, the Cranes “dance”, flap their wings and, via digital artistry, turn into ‘real’ Cranes that bless Resorts World Sentosa’s guests with love, long-life and good fortune.The Crane Dance is a technical marvel that crosses cultural boundaries and amazes guests of all ages. The wings of each Crane spray thousands of gallons of sea water up to 40-feet in pulsing arcs, thus creating the Crane’s enormous flapping wings. Enhanced with pyrotechnics, theatrical lighting, and audio effects, the Crane Dance is an Animatronic Spectacle that references traditional Crane movements in a jubilant show inspired by an archetypal myth: the power of love to infuse life into inanimate form.Additional character and personality are expressed via the crane’s specially designed digital eyes: each 6-foot diameter eye can blink, squint, and react to movements, while expressing wonder, amazement, and affection. Two large 26 foot by 26 foot digital screens located on each crane, show video images, illustrating the inner workings of each crane and their affection for the other.Three years in the making, the project required over 800,000 man hours and employed an international team of themed entertainment experts from 10 countries. Thanks to the confidence and support of Resorts World Sentosa, the “Good Luck Birds” survived the economic downturn of ’08 without “losing any feathers,” while “construction cranes” in other themed entertainment venues all over the world became idle.

Sentosa island, The Artificial Beach

HistoryEdit

In the nineteenth century, the island was considered important because it protected the passage into Keppel Harbour.After the Japanese surrender in 1945 and the return of Singapore to British rule, the island became the base of the locally enlisted First Singapore Regiment of the Royal Artillery (1st SRRA) in 1947. Other locally enlisted men from Singapore were sent to the island for basic military training before being sent to other units of the British Army in Singapore. The island was renamed “Sentosa” in 1972, which means peace and tranquillity in Malay (from Sanskrit, Santosha), from a suggestion by the public. The Sentosa Development Corporation was formed and incorporated on 1 September 1972 to oversee the development of the island. Since then, some S$420 million of private capital and another S$500 million of government funds have been invested to develop the island. In 2009, construction of a new foot bridge began. The S$70 million Sentosa Boardwalk includes themed gardens, shops and eateries. There are covered walkways and travellators along the boardwalk for rainy days. The boardwalk, officially opened by Deputy Prime Minister Teo Chee Hean on 29 January 2011, will provide visitors an alternative mode of travel to reach the island.

How to ReachEdit

Taxi : An entrance fee of S$2-7 (highest on weekends, lowest weekday nights) is levied per car whether you’re in a taxi or have your own wheels. Parking isn’t free either.

BUS : Bus service RWS 8 runs in a loop from Vivocity Mall to Resorts World Sentosa. The fare is S$2 a person and buses run from 06:00 to 23:30 daily. You’re more likely to get a seat on the bus than the monorail, but traffic can make the ride quite slow and it’s only convenient for the Resorts World attractions: the casino, Universal Studios and expensive restaurants.

Train : At a cost of S$3 per person, The Sentosa Express monorail gets you from the third floor of Vivocity Mall to Sentosa Island in minutes. It’s a smooth, safe ride, but the downside is it can be extremely crowded. The monorail runs from 07:00 to 00:00 every day and there are three monorail stations around Sentosa.

Air : Airport is the country’s maiChangin airport. From the airport there are a number of ways to get into the city:
Taxi is easiest – simply follow the signs after clearing customs. Meters are always used in Singapore and prices are reasonable.

Others : Cable Car – The Cable Car between Sentosa, HarbourFront and Mt. Faber has completed its renovation and reopened to public in July 2010. Return ticket on Cable Car costs $26.

By tram – Beach trams supplemented by minivans shuttle people along the beaches every 15-20 minutes. One service connects Beach Station to Siloso Beach, another connects Beach Station to Palawan and Tanjong Beaches.
