Merlion, the Landmark of Singapore.

The Merlion is essentially a welcoming symbol for visitors to Singapore. The iconic statue of a lion with water spouting from its mouth into the lake is a familiar sight. It's a must-visit landmark for all tourists. It's recommended to visit in the morning or evening when the weather is pleasant. The Merlion was designed as a symbol for the Singapore Tourism Board in 1964. The statue features a lion's head and a fish's body, standing atop waves, and is considered very beautiful.
