The Merlion

Basically just a landmark with few cafes . But it is really iconic and near several attraction such as museums at civil district, garden by the bay , and singapore flyer (important for your itinerary)

One of five official Merlions in Singapore. The national icon of Singapore , a lion head on a fish body, representing the origins of a fishing town , and its original name Singapura (lion city ).

Take a photo here with the Merlion statue and marina bay sands hotel as the background. My most favorite photo view in Singapore. Better view at night.

designed in 1964. Lion Head=Singapura=Lion City in Malay. Fish Body=a fishing village Temasek=sea town in Javanese . at the mouth of the Singapore River in 1972, relocated in 2002 to Merlion Park

A beautiful water spouting statue . You can't visit Singapore without visiting The Merlion! Lots of people and naturally. So beautiful the place of Singapore.

Merlion is a the ionic symbol for Singapore, walk to the Merlion Park and take a photo of Merlion and also have a good view of the Marina Bay and Financial Centre of Singapore.Breath taking scenery!

Sometimes, patient is required to make one good photoshoot as so many people are there during the day (and also at night). It is best to take a photo at around sunrise time.

Did u know? The Merlion was designed & used as Singapore Tourism Board’s logo back in 1964 until 1997. The board still holds exclusive rights to use the symbol . Source: Infopedia

An icon of Singapore . Best photos are actually at dusk/twilight as the statue becomes too bright against the dark night skies. Amazing views of the city & Marina Bay complex.

Geek notes: There are 6 authorised Merlion statues in Singapore, with the pair here being the 2 most famous. There used to be a 12-storey version at nearby Sentosa island . Source: Wikipedia

An iconic spot with incredible views day and night. Always busy, but a fun place to visit in Singapore!

Nice view & scenery. You can actually see Marina Bay Sands , One Raffles Quay and Clarke Quay buildings from the boardwalk between the Merlion and Esplanade.

Love the great scenic view & famous landmark in Singapore

iconic Singapore. free foto shots to proof the world on your socmed that you’ve visited the Island indeed

Singapore’s main icon and highlight. You’re trip is incomplete without visiting this

A good place to take photo. You can view the Marina Bay Sands on the other side. Ferry boat ride is near in this attraction .

Yes, it's super touristy and crowded , but so fun to see! Take a quick detour here as part of a walk along the bay .

You can see Singapore's known tourist spots when you go here. The famous merlion near the bay can also be found here though it's much smaller than the merlion in Sentosa.

You must visit this iconic place when you are in Singapore ! Don't miss to take a few postcards photos.

Unfortunately during my visit the Merlion statue was under repairing, but the night view from this point is amazing !

One of the main tourist attractions in Singapore. Don't miss it! Especially go there after sunset .

No Singapore is complete without that photo in front of the Merlion Statue (Singapore’s icon) at the Merlion Park . Go up the viewing deck to get the best angles. Adjacent to the One Fullerton.

You can't visit Singapore without visiting The Merlion! Lots of people, naturally, but not too hard to snap a nice picture if you're lucky enough to be there with considerate people.

A must visit place in Singapore. Night time scenery is fantastic!

An imaginary creature with the head of a lion and the body of a fish , the Merlion is the most important trademark, and symbol of Singapore.

Taking a stroll at night with the view across the river is worth it

Nice place to visit in Singapore. It is the symbol of the city .

One of the best spot in Singapore. Must-see!

A must sightseen in Singapore & if you come by 9:30 in evening, you could enjoy the lazer show at MBS

This place at Marina Bay you have to visit when you are in Singapore

Having photo taken with a lion or bay as a background and also you can enjoy meals at nearby cafés

Didn't expect it to be that crowded but worthwhile to have your iconic merlion shot!

You can only take the front side photo of Merlion on Duck & Hippo tour !

The view is so nice, the weather is so god damn hot, and you have to order food to seat :p (and its not really delicious -_-)

This is a must see - The Merlion is the icon of Singapore

A very beautiful view , cozy and romantic place to visit...

It’s always crowded , but another way to enjoy it is from a boat. Night rides are particularly pretty.

Singapore's iconic Merlion might refer to a made up legend, but the statue is real and provides Singapore number 1 selfie spot!

Just an awesome view ... Too perfect I could say... A must visit location if you come to Singapore.

Amazing view . interesting structures a very nice area.

Try going early in the morning to avoid masses of tourism

You can't not go and see this guy if you're in Singapore. Prepare to battle with similar minded tourists however. Everyone has their selfie stick out.

Admire Singapore's iconic half fish , half lion statue , The Merlion. After that, take advantage of the terraced seating available for a fantastic view of the Singapore Flyer. Read more

River cruising at night is the best time to take a picture. Bring a camera along.

Merlion Park is a perfect place to hang out. Views are very beatyful and romantic .

I love this place but there was a very unpleasant smell around this area when I visited it last time in September!

So Beautiful Symbol of Singapore

Great spot, there is lighting show at night.

Went during the weekend, parked at esplanade and walked over... super packed during holiday and weekends...

Awesome! That merlion structure is the best. Water drinking shot!
