Merlion

Colonial District, the Quays & Marina Bay


Back in the 1980s, someone at the tourism board created a myth about a half fish, half lion, and the gawking tourists helped seal its status as an iconic (nobody said it was pretty) Singapore sight. While visiting this S$165,000 concrete creature isn't in itself worth your time, the Marina Bay views make the trip worthwhile. Don't forget to jump on a boat cruise for a complete circuit of Singapore's changing waterways.
