Anderson Bridge
Opened since 1910, Anderson Bridge was to replace the congested Cavenagh Bridge as it was unable to cope with the increasing traffic.
Lovers love to gaze at the moon or look at their reflections on the waters. The places along the river always had been popular dating spots. In the olden days, when lovers got tired, they sat on beaches and ate hawker food sold along the Singapore.
Surprisingly, on 'Chap Goh Mei', last day of Chinese New Year also represents the Chinese Valentine's Day. In the olden days, singles also get together to celebrate at this bridge. The ladies would the throw into the river, some oranges and likewise, the men threw in some apples. All in search of a good partner. This tradition is still thriving in some parts of Malaysia, and they are attaching along their names and mobile numbers to these oranges.
However, with Singapore's ever changing development in the Marina Esplanade area, the metal bridge still looks at its age. On the downside, I don't think flinging fruits down in the river now is permitted. Still, the bridge attracts couples to the Singapore River these days.

EsplanadeOpened since 5 July 2005, Esplanade is Singapore's most exciting performance. Located at the waterfront, Esplanade is known for its dome shaped roofs, where from afar they could look like a durian, or a bug's eyes.
Esplanade houses a 1600 seat concert hall, a 2000 seat theatre, theatre and studios, outdoor theatre, with their dining services. Over here, apart from theatres and studios, a small mall, a bunch of cosmopolitan food outlets and the library@Esplanade.
Well, back in the olden days, Esplanade is a recreational area especially with the upper class community. Back in the late 1800s, these people were having tea at their homes about 4 in the evening before leaving home between 5pm and as sunset to the Singapore River with their carriages. This is the time that they gather together, where the men and women would talk and chatter over news and issues of any interest. Here,
love and romance blooms as young girls flirtatiously gossip with the men, as they chew the fat.
In 1953, couples frequently sauntered along Queen Elizabeth Walk, a boulevard commemorating the ceremony of the queen's monarch. The famous Satay Club was here, where most could be seen having their supper.
With the new Theatres on the Bay, Esplanade, couples could enjoy the scenic view of the horizon. One could enjoy a myriad of international and local performances for entertainment, outdoors and indoors.
