Everyone recognizes that Merlion Park is a popular tourist attraction and it took its place among the famous landmarks of great cities of the world. We’re told that no visit to Singapore would be complete without photo sessions at the the park ilncluding the beautiful Marlion statue and the surrounding infrastructures like the Bay Sands Hotel,Sky scrapers on the the opposite side and the Singapore Flyer from afar or else you never have been to SG.We all went there late in the morning and while it was very hot and humid we found it not so much a park but a paved area overlooking the harbor with a statue in the middle that’s perpetually spewing water into Marina Bay. It doesn't offer much, apart from the merlion figure itself. Nonetheless, to catch sight of the awesomeness of the famed statue ( a mythical creature with a lion’s head and the body of a fish) can be worth a visit only if we can appreciate what is behind the figure and make out its history and origin .
