Sayang Singapura

Illustrations revive Singapore's nostalgic yesteryear.

If you're drawn to the charm of bygone eras or have a soft spot for Singapore, "Sayang Singapura" is a visual feast you shouldn’t miss. The book's ability to transport you to the city's past through its vibrant illustrations is both heartwarming and evocative, making it a perfect coffee-table piece or a thoughtful gift for someone who cherishes cultural heritage.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

Inspired by Hergé, the creator of Tintin, Lee Xin Li blends Hergé's playfulness with meaningful nostalgia for Singapore's iconic past. The historic Adelphi Hotel, the iconic Great World Amusement Park, the old Tanjong Pagar Railway Station and the former National Library at Stamford Road are among the nostalgic locales and moments in time lovingly depicted in beautiful and imaginative detail. Xin Li has captured these cherished memories and immortalised them with his drawings even as Singapore continues to undergo intensive restructuring and makeovers, and heritage buildings of yesteryears make way for new and ever-modern architecture.
