Rich traces of Singapore's colonial charms can still be found beyond futuristic skyscrapers embodying modern Singapore. One of these is the Civic District Trail (CDT), which is centred on the Singapore River - the heart of colonial Singapore. Here, you can admire a cluster of architectural legacies along the civic district trails.
