Merlion

Good morning, Singapore! On the second day in Lion City, the weather is still clear, the indoor air conditioning is strong, the outdoor is hot and humid, it seems like having a sauna every day, and the body is sticky. This morning, the first stop is directly to Singapore's NO 1 landmark, the "Merlion" park. Someone once said: If you haven't been to the Merlion, you haven't been to Singapore. Yesterday I took pictures from the top of the Marina Bay Sands Hotel, and today I am taking pictures from here.

To refund, you must return to the airport's ticket office; the card will be deactivated. It is recommended to top up as needed, as the card cannot be used with less than 3S$. Hotels require a credit card pre-authorization or a 100S$ deposit for check-in. The pre-authorization and refund of the deposit are processed quickly upon check-out, so don't worry. Gardens by the Bay's Supertree Grove has a music and light show at 19:45 and 20:30. For photos at Fort Canning Park's spiral staircase, go early and queue orderly. The National Gallery Singapore is a comfortable visit, recommended. Use Yodao to translate photo descriptions smoothly. The Buddha Tooth Relic Temple has an elevator directly to the top-floor garden, then you can visit each floor; knee-length attire is required, aprons are provided at the entrance if needed. Sultan Mosque is also worth visiting, with a grand hall and shoe removal at the entrance. For the Night Safari, buy tickets and Chinese tram tickets in advance; there are four walking trails, and animals are active during the evening feedings. Both the S.E.A. Aquarium and Universal Studios are fun; the aquarium is less crowded in the afternoon and closes at 17:00, but you can tour freely inside. On weekdays, the theme park is not crowded, and you can check ride wait times and show schedules with the Universal SG app, allowing you to experience everything in one day. Staying on Sentosa Island, you can enjoy three beaches, feel the sand and sea breeze, and take the aerial cable car system for a panoramic view of the city's night scene. Various food courts, Maxwell Food Centre's Lao Ban Soya Beancurd and Hainanese Chicken Rice, Tang City Food Court, Toast Box, Ya Kun Kaya Toast, Song Fa Bak Kut Teh, and the traditional Nonya kueh at Granny's Secret in VivoCity are very delicious and affordable.

#singapore #landmark Of course, if you haven't experienced the Merlion, you haven't really visited Singapore. The Merlion, the city-state's most iconic sculpture, serves as the official mascot of Singapore, and every visitor to the city should make it a point to explore this historic landmark. The Merlion is a sculpture with the head of a lion, representing the original name of Singapore, Singapura, meaning 'lion,' and a body of a fish, symbolizing the city's roots as a fishing village. This mythical creature, with water spouting from its mouth like a fountain, is both unique and beautiful. The Merlion Park attracts a lot of visitors eager to capture photos with this famous symbol of Singapore. During our visit, we found ourselves patiently waiting for the perfect spot and angle amidst the heat. However, the wait was undoubtedly worth it. After all, can one truly leave Singapore without immortalizing their experience with the nation's beloved mascot? (You can also get a view of Marina Bay Sands from this spot as well. Don't miss it.) Tip: Make sure you bring some water to prevent dehydration.

The mythical Merlion is Singapore's national icon. It possesses the body of a fish and the head of a lion. Spouting water from its mouth, the Merlion statue stands at 8.6 metres and weighs 70 tonnes. Originally located at the mouth of the Singapore River, it was built by local craftsman Lim Nang Seng, designed by Kwan Sai Kheong, and unveiled on 15 September 1972 by then-Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew. With the completion of Esplanade Bridge in 1997, the statue could no longer be viewed clearly from the waterfront and was relocated to the Merlion Park, which stands in front of Fullerton Hotel and overlooking Marina Bay. #singaporetrip
