Merlion Park
About
You walk down the wide wooden waterfront promenade and hear the massive roar of crashing water before you even see the famous statue. A giant mythical creature with the proud head of a lion and the scaly body of a fish shoots a massive stream of white water directly into the beautiful bay. You stand on the viewing deck and feel the cool wet mist spray across your smiling face. This iconic guardian proudly watches over the entire glittering city and welcomes wandering travelers from every single corner of the world.
