Singapore The Merlion Spouting Water
This spot shows the iconic Merlion statue in Singapore’s Merlion Park. The Merlion, with a lion’s head and fish body, symbolizes Singapore’s origins as a fishing village and its original name, “Lion City.” It is a popular tourist attraction offering great views of Marina Bay and the city skyline.
Photography Tips
To photograph the Merlion when it’s spouting water, use a fast shutter speed to freeze the motion and capture sharp water droplets. A wide-angle lens helps include the statue and the background cityscape. Shoot during golden hour for soft light or at night to capture colorful lighting and reflections in the water.
Travel Information
To reach the Merlion Park, take the MRT to Raffles Place or Esplanade station and walk along the waterfront toward Marina Bay. The park is easy to find near the Fullerton Hotel and is well signposted.
