Boys, do you know where it is found ? Do read on and find out !
In 1819, the first Resident of Singapore William Farquhar found a deep-water harbour at the site. This became New Harbour, and later, Keppel Harbour.
The British blew up Long Yan Men to widen the gateway of the channel to Keppel Harbour in mid 1848. Fortunately, a painting of Long Ya Men by J T Thomson still exists. Using historical records and that painting, Long Ya Men was re-created near its original point next to Labrador Nature Reserve.
Today, all maritme trade along the Straits of Singapore must still pass by the Dragon’s Teeth Gate.

This website is very intersting. I learnt that the government destroyed the dragon tooth the gorvernment rebuilt it.Plus,there are also many other intersting things and topics you can learn from this wonderful blog .
Hi KKM, This blog is good for singaporeans who like history. Also its interesting as there are pictures to show how the thing ur talking about looks like. And like the dragon teeth gate, it was destroyed and now replaced with an artificial one. Simply, its Impossible to see the real and organic Dragon's Teeth Gate again.
