The another Merlion, with its lion's head and fish body, is Singapore's famous tourism symbol. Elevators are taken to the open-air gallery on the crown of this 37m/121ft high viewing tower for 360-degree panoramic views of Sentosa, the city skyline, the harbor and on a clear day, the Indonesian Islands.
The original statue at Merlion Park by the Esplanade Bridge. It is 8.6 m high and weighing 40 tons, is one of Singapore's national icon. As an emblem, it was designed by Fraser Brunner for the Singapore Tourism Board. Today, the Merlion has found a new home just 120 meters away from its original location, adjacent to one Fullerton.You can find out more information here.
