Mythical Lion ๐Ÿฆ

#visitsingapore Although I'm not an expert in weaving stories around historical monuments, I could guess that people of Singapore has seen such a beautiful lion ๐Ÿฆ that they can't help but build a statute in memory of it and named as Mer-lion ๐Ÿ˜œ (like mermaid ๐Ÿงœโ€โ™€๏ธ) Initially I didn't get the reason behind the name, but it became so obvious once I saw the lion statue in front of Marina Bay Sands and filling up the huge river ๐Ÿ˜. It's definitely a go to attraction, along with which you can take a nice walk in the quay. #urbanexplorer#tripblazers#summervacation

Visited the iconic Singaporeโ€™s national icon the Merlion with the head of a lion and the body of a fish. According to a story, Merlion's body symbolizes Singapore's humble beginnings as a fishing village when it was called Temasek in Malay which comes from the same root as the wordย tasek means lake. Its head represents Singaporeโ€™s original name, Singapura, or lion city. Today, you can glimpse this legend at Merlion Park. Spouting water from its mouth. It is a must visit for tourists visiting Singapore similar to other significant landmarks around the world. You can do different styles of capturing this mythical icon. Also, the park has a smaller Merlion statue known as the Merlion cub. #qingmingtravel #urbanexplorer #lightthecity #urbanexplorer#qingmingtravel#lightthecity
