Merlion Park

The Merlion is a must-see in Singapore. It's not as majestic as you might imagine, more delicate than usual, but it's certainly photogenic against the backdrop of Marina Bay Sands. I visited in the afternoon, and the soft lighting produced beautiful photos. It's a pleasant stroll around, enjoying the sea breeze and observing the passing cruise ships and buildings on the other side. Many locals also run in the area. The only downside is that it can be quite crowded with tourists, making it difficult to find an angle to capture photos without people. If you're not pressed for time, a leisurely stroll along the waterfront, snapping a few iconic photos, and experiencing Singapore's cityscape is a great option.

It is very convenient to get there by subway. I would like to give you a small suggestion, which is to choose to come at night, because there is really no shade in the whole park. It is really sunny during the day. Coming at night can not only avoid the crowds of tour groups, but also appreciate different scenery. There are coffee shops and bars along the park. In addition to taking photos with the Merlion, you can have a cocktail or drink comfortably. When we went there, there was also an open-air symphony orchestra performance at night, which was great. I don’t know if it is a must-perform every night, so coming to this place at night is really a different style.

Seeing this sculpture of a water-jet merlion, we remember that Singapore was suddenly aroused. Eleven years ago, in the spring, we traveled to Malaysia, Singapore. At that time, we did not spend much time in Singapore. It left an impression like the Merlion sculpture in front of us and the water curtain film on Sentosa Island. Here we can see more fully the modern architecture of the coastal Art Center built near the sea. The huge dome building looks like the shape of durian, which is particularly striking here. As the smallest Park in Singapore, this famous Fish-Tailed lion statue is situated on the Bank of the estuary of the Singapore River. The body of the lion-head fish standing on the top of the waves is the symbol and symbol of Singapore. It is said that the origin of the Merlion is that a prince of ancient Sumatra once saw a spiritual animal in the area, much like a lion, so he named the island Lion City, and the merlion's tail shape represents that Singapore used to be a fishing port. We stayed in this place for a long time. With water as the theme, modern architecture as the foil and tourist crowds as the new trend, people can see the charm of Singapore as a tourist city. The Fish-Tailed lion sculpture sprays a continuous water column, forming a perfect combination of static and dynamic shape, and the surrounding open-air hydrophilic bleachers, allowing tourists from all over the world to take pictures of the Fish-Tailed lion and the city landscape behind it. There are many tourists sitting on the steps connecting the Merlion sculpture and the bleachers. We also have a short rest here. Wait till night comes and the lights blossom, and the surrounding high-rise buildings and the Merlion sculptures shine or dress up in the light, echoing each other brilliantly. At night, with the decorative effect of lighting, the Merlion sculpture creates a visual effect standing above the blue wave. At the moment, the Golden Sand Hotel in Binhai Bay, the Ferris Wheel and the double helix bridge connecting the two places are also beautifully decorated and deduced by lights. The final goal of our tour today is to see this modern bridge. Walking along the watery platform of Binhai Bay, the steps of the platform are scattered with tourists from many countries. They view the beautiful night scenery of skyscrapers in the modern metropolis from different angles. There are more tourists in the nearby food center stalls to taste delicious food, ready to eat and drink enough, then slowly enjoy Singapore's beautiful city nightlife. There are many more local people running and exercising on the track near the coastal bay. Rich people always pay attention to exercising because they understand that health is more important than wealth.

Merlion Park is located at the mouth of Singapore River. The famous Merlion statue is located on the banks of Singapore River. Many people know Singapore from this statue with a lion head and a fish body standing on the crest of the wave. It can be said that it is the symbol and symbol of Singapore. The park has an open-air stand where visitors can go up to take photos with the Merlion or look out over the building with a boat-shaped roof opposite, which is the Marina Bay Sands Hotel, another iconic building in Singapore. In addition, you can also see the Ferris wheel in the distance and the "Big Durian" (Singapore Esplanade) next to it. The view is very wide. It can be said to be a must-see when traveling to Singapore.

The Fish-Tailed lion, a symbol of the Singapore Tourism Bureau, first appeared in 1964. The fish-body statue of the Fish-Tailed lion on the top of the waves soon became a symbol of Singapore. Every year, tourists from all over the world visit Merlion Park in Singapore to take pictures with Merlion. The design inspiration of the Merlion statue comes from the record of Malay Chronicle. In the 14th century AD, an Indonesian prince in a huge harbor encountered a storm boat drifting to this point. As soon as he landed, he saw a magical beast and his entourage told him that it was a lion. So he named the island Lion City. As for the fish tail sculpture of the statue, swimming between the waves represents not only the characteristics of Singapore from a fishing port to a commercial port, but also the ancestors of our hard-working ancestors who came to the south to survive. Fishtail Lion Park Fishtail Lion and Little Fishtail Lion originally stand beside the coastal bridge Fishtail Lion Park, is a very popular tourist attraction. On September 15, 1972, the former Prime Minister of Singapore, Mr. Lee Kuan Yew, opened the ribbon-cutting ceremony for him. Today's Merlion statue has been relocated to 120 places away from its original site, adjacent to Fulton 1. The statue of a merlion, 8.6 meters high and weighing 70 tons, was made of concrete by the late famous Singapore sculptor, Mr. Lin Langxin. Another small Fish-Tailed lion statue, 2 meters high and 3 tons heavy, is also Mr. Lin's work. The body is made of concrete, covered with ceramic scales, and the eyes are small red teacups. According to this record, Mr. Fraser Brunner designed the statue of the Merlion. The lion's head symbolizes the lion, while the fish's tail symbolizes the ancient city of Temasek. The theme of the Merlion is water, with lighting effect, creating a vivid and spectacular visual effect of the Merlion floating on the blue wave. The open space around can be used for various outdoor performances. The steps connecting the Merlion and the bleachers not only allow visitors to get close to the water, but also allow them to sit on the terraces. The stand can accommodate 300 people. Standing in the stands, visitors can take a picture with the Merlion from the front against the background of the outline of the financial center buildings in the urban areas such as Fulton Hotel and the silhouette of the seaside park. The small Merlion sits in a unique pool 28 meters behind the merlion. It also echoes the Merlion and sprays water from its mouth.
