Merlion

Merlion serves as the trademark symbol of Singapore. It is an imaginary creatures which combines the head of the lion and the body of a fish. It also combines the name "mer" meaning sea and lion.


The head of the lion represents the Singapore's original name "Singapura" meaning Lion City.



From the Merlion statue, you can view the Esplande and the Marina Bay.



A far view you can still see the image of the Merlion, the Fullerton Hotel and different building structures and Marina Bay.
