The take
The statue marks where Stamford Raffles landed in 1819. Give the plaques a minute before you take the photo, then walk the 50 metres to the Asian Civilisations Museum, which is the better use of the next hour.
Good to know
Two Raffles statues: a white one at his supposed landing site on the promenade, an older bronze one on Empress Lawn
The park is open 24 hours and is wheelchair accessible
Finding it: Along the Singapore River on the Empress Place promenade, between Empress Place Road and Fullerton Road, by the Asian Civilisations Museum
