See @ Merlion Park
Meet Merlion, the official mascot and mythical icon of Singapore, globally recognisable by its part-lion head and part-fish body. Standing at 8.6 metres tall, the Merlion’s lion head represents Singapore’s original name of Singapura (“lion city” in Sanskrit) named by Sang Nila Utama, a Srivijayan prince of Palembang; while its fish-like body signifies the city’s beginnings as a fishing village. Soak in the Marina Bay skyline at Merlion Park or pose for a picturesque photo capturing the stream of water spouting from the statue’s mouth like many visitors do so.
