The Central Business District (CBD) and Chinatown are south of the Singapore River. To the north of the river is the colonial district, home base for British rule. Further north is Little India and Arab St. Orchard Rd. runs northwest from the colonial district. To the west of the island is Jurong. The east coast has some of the residential areas, East Coast Park and Changi International Airport.
