Then we take a light walking along the Singapore river before pay a visit to Merlion Park. Merlion is a symbol of Singapore with the image of a lion head, the fish is riding on the waves. The head represents the legend of the process of exploring Singapore, whereas the tail represents the humble beginnings of Singapore from a coastal fishing village. The park has two statues of Merlion. The one larger is about 8.6m tall and weighing 70 tons. Behind is the smaller Merlion Cub with a height of 2 meters and weighing 3 tons. Pump systems are installed so that these two can spray water throughout the day.

It is also the image of love, solidarity and mutual support of the people of Singapore.
We continue the journey to Chinatown, a unique neighborhood blending many of the architectural and cultural diversity. Nowadays, Chinatown still remains many ancient stalls, which sold the same goods in several decades such as silk, traditional handicrafts, jade or gold jewelry. It also sells many Chinese products such as tea, herbs, food and household items. People say that visiting Chinatown during the Lunar New Year is the best time, as the food market becomes bustle with a wide range of activities, from dances to concerts. These festivals make the market more lively, offering stalls for candles, calligraphy, masks, fashion items and festive season specialties. Although it is called Chinatown, architecture here is British colonial identity, no balcony on the upper floor, but the large windows.

This is a complex of beautiful locations suitable for leisure travel as well as entertainment when traveling to Singapore.

The most out-standing architecture of the complex is SkyPark, looking like an alien surfboard or a spacecraft anchored on a tripod.
