Your visit to Singapore would not be complete without seeing the city’s iconic symbol, the famous Merlion statue in Merlion Park . The Merlion, which is half fish (to symbolize Singapore’s origins as a humble fishing village) and half lion (from the city’s original name Singapura, which is Malay for lion city) stands proudly spouting water into Marina Bay. Besides snapping a souvenir picture with the Merlion you can enjoy amazing views out over the bay – try to time your visit to coincide with the spectacular Wonder Full, which is a twice nightly laser, light, and water show across the bay at the Marina Sands complex. If you feel like an adventure, you can jump aboard a restored bumboat for a cruise up the Singapore River to see other attractions like Clarke Quay and Boat Quay.
