Merlion Park, Public park near Marina Bay, Singapore
The Merlion Park features an 8.6-meter-tall statue of a mythical creature with a lion head and fish body, spraying water into Marina Bay.
The Merlion statue, created by sculptor Lim Nang Seng and his children in 1972, moved to its current location at One Fullerton in 2002.
The Merlion represents Singapore's origins, with the lion head referencing Singapura and the fish body symbolizing the former fishing settlement of Temasek.
Visitors can reach the park via Raffles Place MRT station, with the site remaining open 24 hours daily for photography and sightseeing.
The park includes two Merlion statues: the main 70-ton water-spouting monument and a smaller two-meter-tall cub figure nearby.
