If you know the Financial District well, you can find:
1. Seven columns that support no roof (artwork in a small park behind Capital Tower, on Cecil Street)

2. Three men who never move (two photo murals of Singaporeans of the early 1900s on a building's exterior wall, on Amoy Street)

3. Two stars and moons that reach toward heaven (the twin minarets of Masjid Al-Abrar, on Telok Ayer Street)

4. A green demon who watches over an intersection (a statue of a Thai demon (?) in front of the Thai Air offices, on Cecil Street)

5. A Phoenix bird that can never fly away (a bas-relief sculpture on a wall of the Thiam Hock Keng Temple, on Telok Ayer Street)

6. A sign for a forgotten seashore bay (a local historical society sign with regard to Telok Ayer Street; Telok Ayer (which literally means "Bay Water" in Malay) was once the shoreline for this part of the island; all of the land to the southeast of Telok Ayer, including Cecil Street and Shenton Way, is reclaimed land)
