Singapore good place to take Photos

Marina Barrage is a dam in southern Singapore built at the confluence of five rivers, across the Marina Channel between Marina East and Marina South. Why You Need To Visit Half Lion, Half Fish With a head of a lion and a body of a fish, this beloved symbol has inspired myriad works of art and poetry. The Merlion’s fish-like body symbolises Singapore’s origins as a fishing village, known as Temasek—a name which comes from same root as the word tasek (lake in Malay). The statue’s head represents the city’s original name of Singapura (lion city in Sanskrit). The Story Behind the Statue Spouting water from its mouth, the Merlion statue stands at 8.6 metres and weighs 70 tonnes. Originally located at the mouth of the Singapore River, it was built by local craftsman Lim Nang Seng, designed by Kwan Sai Kheong, and unveiled on 15 September 1972 by then-Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew. With the completion of Esplanade Bridge in 1997, the statue could no longer be viewed clearly from the waterfront and was relocated to the Merlion Park, which stands in front of Fullerton Hotel and overlooking Marina Bay. Jewel Changi Airport is a nature-themed entertainment and retail complex surrounded by and linked to one of the passenger terminals of Changi Airport, Singapore. Its centrepiece is the world's tallest indoor waterfall, the Rain Vortex, that is surrounded by a terraced forest setting. I was able to witness how beautiful Singapore and offering attractions for free without hurting your pocket 🤭#visit_singapore #singapore2025 #travel#newyearnewtrip
