Located in Singapore, Merlion park is a popular tourist attraction within the city. The park houses the Merlion Statue which is comprised of a half lion and half fish, each representing a different part of the city's history.
The fish is a representation of Singapore's past when it was a fishing village and the lion representing the original name of the city which can be translated to lion city.
The statue stands at an astonishing 8.6 metres tall. A smaller version of the statue can be found within the park and it is known as Merlion Cub.
Visitors can enjoy taking a boat ride from the park to view the entire bay or taking a casual stroll to absorb the landmark site along the way.
