Arms folded and looking thoughtfully out to sea, the white polymarble statue of Raffles at the Singapore River is often photographed.
Take your selfies with this popular figure, located at the historic Raffles Landing Site where Raffles was believed to first set foot on the island in 1819.
The statue is actually a copy of the original dark bronze statue, and was placed here in 1969 on the 150th anniversary of Singapore’s founding.
If you want to see the much older, original statue, it’s just a short stroll away, in front of Victoria Memorial Hall at Empress Place. Sculpted by renowned Thomas Woolner, it was unveiled on Jubilee Day on 27 June 1887.
双臂交叉,若有所思地望向大海,经常拍摄新加坡河上的莱佛士白色聚合物雕像。
与这位受欢迎的人物一起拍照,这个人物位于历史悠久的莱佛士登陆点,据信莱佛士于1819年首次踏上该岛。
这座雕像实际上是原始的深青铜雕像的副本,并于1969年在新加坡成立150周年之际被放置在这里。
如果您想看到更古老的原始雕像,它距离皇后广场的维多利亚纪念堂前面仅几步之遥。由着名的托马斯伍尔纳雕刻,于1887年6月27日在禧年日揭幕。
